Thumbs down Help me plz !!!

Hi, Guyz
I went to vw shop to flush out the coolants... they asked me about $129, looks fair deal so i ask them to do it... they called me 6 hours later that my coolants are burning up some reason(not leaking but getting short)
and they said my fans not working either...and freon r leaking...so they wanna put dyno and never answer back...

How long it takes to do dyno? I thought that less than 1 hr
is that cooling sys shows up on dyno? ...
I just feel like they r trying to rip me off...

Well... Have you noticed if the temperature gauge was high?
Was your A/C cold before you brought it in?

Sounds like an expensive repair, if there really is a problem. I would check it out yourself or bring it to a different shop before you spent any more money. Maybe drive the car around for a day to test it??

I don't understand how a waterpump would cause the coolant to burn. Sounds more like a headgasket. Maybe it was just leaking?

If the water pump isn't moving coolant through the system, engine will get very hot and "burn" the coolant. The stock water pump has a plastic impeller, which by 50 or 60K miles is pretty much shot.
