RE: Mysterious Fluid

My guess would be you've fallen victim to the wonderful Scirocco vent control 
lever apparatus.  There's a switch that defaults to "on" unless the upper 
lever is in the vent or heat position which I've observed to be often on even 
in those positions  due to the stamped metal parts getting bent with use.  In 
short, maybe your compressor's still on.  You'd likely have noticed that, 
though; change my answer to "beats the hell out of me!"

Happy hunting!

Hey Guys,
today after returning from work, a 30min drive at speeds form 70-90, i
pulled into the gas station and after paying i noticed fluid dripping
from beneath my car. Upon further inspection i deduced it to be water,
but where from? My A/C was off (vent postion selected), my fan was off
for the whole drive also. It was about 86 degrees out, my oil temp was
110-115 c. coolant temp while driving usually stays about three pointers
widths above the overheat light and in town runs clear to the top line.
I know this is hot but i cant figure out how to bring it down, ive
flushed changed distilled and all sorts of other volkswagon witchcaft.
Also the fluid was not the slightest bit warm and appeared to be clear.
Thank you for any help.
