Posted about the $1200 timing belt back in 2011 on here. Had a coolant leak on my girlfriend's 2002 VW Passat. Take it into a reputable local VW/Audi for diagnosis. Just to find the source basically involved pulling the entire top of the engine including the entire intake manifold,egr, throttle body, etc.
The culprit. 1 coolant line o-ring leaking that cost about $2. Turned into while I was in there this should also be done while I am in there.
Dont buy a VW/Audi. There designed to last exactly 100k. Once you hit that mark be prepared to spend some serious dough in maintenance. Was also told the intricate/not normal front suspension design was shot and would cost about $1200 to rebuild..
Pictures is worth a thousand words...
