Took 4 visits and $3800 to fix the problem. this included replacing thermostat, fixing catalytic converter (second time in 6 months), new 'combi' - no idea what this is, replacing all of the coolant pipes. What really p***s me off is that the problem started over a year ago when I saw fluid on my driveway. However I was of course just imagining it according to the service people. This problem included a persistent 'check engine warning' that was mysteriously fine every time I picked it up from the dealer; they obviously didn't have a clue! It was explained to me that it is hard to diagnose problem and they said the engine is one big computer, I disagreed and said it was one big ATM that only takes deposits!
