[200q20v] Re: Heater Hoses

[Mike Miller]

I hate to admit it, but, mine was losing a pint of fluid every 150 miles.
Seemed pretty dependent on boost used too - as in my wife could "gently'
drive it and not lose any and I would drive it " not so gently' and lose a
pint of coolant. Bars leak fixed the problem over 5k miles ago.
