The coolant going low is common, not that it's a good thing though. Have they performed a pressure test over night? We just took our 2018 in today for low coolant and they told us the water pump was bad. I have a couple of friends who work at a VW dealership and they told me that there's a large amount of Atlases that come in needing to have the head gasket swapped out. I'm expecting ours will continue to suck up coolant after the water pump is replaced.

I hear you, we just got ours back yesterday after having the water pump replaced under warranty at 12,000 miles. Drove it home with no issues. This morning the auto start doesn’t work, go outside and turn the car on to find low coolant light is on again. Pop the hood and find the reservoir is low again. Dealership says it’s normal since the system was bled, which would be fine if the light was on when we picked it up or at any time through the 20 mile ride back home. I’d figure the VW techs would have the proper amount of fluid required to fill the system up. Starting to get worried that I have another Routan on my hands, which is terrible considering the Routan was a Dodge and spent every other month at the dealership.
