1999 Volkswagen Beetle General Question

Had coolant leak... Car not over heating but on way then coolant started leaking... Took it in changed coolant, radiator fans, water pump, timing belt AND thermostat.... B4 coolant leak, the heater would work good for A day, 50% most the time or just not work. Took car in.. Had work done, heater worked great for the first day then went back to blowing cold and only working half way. Took it back to were i had the $1200 in work done and the car made a liar out of me... Got in it and drove it hours after that and the heater went back to working 50%....

Answers from the Automotive Experts

Tianna The shop that the work should still be held accountable. I suggest you go back, and I when the heater is not working. If they can make it work then, they should be able to find out why. Then, they should fix it correctly. Since it was not corrector the first time, they should not charge you again. Be assertive and insist they make it right.
