Flashing temperature light indicates cooling malfunction. I’m leaking clean coolant (pink/no oil). Dealership states I need to replace oil cooler for $2k. TDI Diesel engine. Sounds off??
What is your question?
When I top off coolant w distilled water light turns off. Continuing to leak however, then light returns
What makes this problem better or worse?
Nothing
