Volkswagen Passat radiator leak

Car: Volkswagen Passat
Variant: 1.9 TDi
Model Year: 2005
Categories: Leaks & Noises
My 2005 VW Passat TDi was getting very thirsty. I had to top up my coolant fairly frequently in June and thought this strange as had only done 60K.

In April my brother in law -who has the same age PassatTDi - suddenly had a warning light-resulting in him having to get a new radiator.

Guess what? 2 months after he had to get one I took it in and ... yes, it needed a new radiator!

In-built obsolesence or what? Anyone else have a similar experience
