Poll: I4 Sand Contamination

[Rainier]

I4 customers should insist on a coolant flush to check for any signs of contamination as part of PPI.

Thanks for the advice! Did you have the same issue? Is it resolved for you?

Mine goes back to the dealer on the 19th the replace the second thermostat. I told them to properly flush or it will come back. They didn’t. If it faults again I might lemon it.

I would not blame you if you did. The thermostat is the key symptom and you want to make it’s 100%.
