I just had the same symptoms and it was the heater core. 2014 Jetta SE 1.8 TSI with 54K miles. I hope that isn't it for your sake.

In the end I just went with the genuine vw part from FCP. The original lasted 149k miles and I have never heard of an OEM pump leaking, just the earlier design impeller breaking apart. And I know that problem has been rectified through Vw. So as long as it holds together for at least 100k miles, I now have a lifetime warranty through FCP.
Bypass thermostat yellow arrow Included with radiator upper hose and you should be able to find the bypass by itself.
Yes they are timing chain. I bought my wife a 2016 sport 5spd new and its almost 80k miles now, only repair is the line going from the res to the slave started leaking, replaced that and all is good, no other leaks, doesn't appear to use any oil between changes and no other repairs.
I've had my 2019 S since May, 2018. The original wipers wiped OK, but began to get noisy a few months ago. We just went into the rain season here, so I replaced them with new from a VW dealer in San Antonio TX. The new ones are dead silent and wipe cleanly and completely.
Replaced mine earlier this year on an SEL-P after a rock chip spread. Yes you will need calibration performed on the camera and sensors that work in conjunction with the camera.
The ride on 20" are quite harsh when compared to all other smaller wheels sizes with the same tires. I got 20" for both summer and winter, rosario ones, obviously with different tires and the winter tires with have a softer widewall and generally more rubber not being a low profile tires rides much better than the summer tires.
I had zero power a few times due to my ignition switch but I cant say if it had any power outside of the switch itself as I dont lock the doors since its parked in my garage. I do know it had no inside lights when it occurred and the only way to \"restore\" power was to continue cycling the key while removing and inserting it each time.
I bought a $6 ignition switch to replace the OEM one that failed after 25 years of use. The aftermarket one lasted about 1.5 years before it was intermittently working, and then finally left me stranded. I spent $60 (I think, somewhere around there) when I got home on the OEM VW switch.
I’ve had water pump failure, AC failure, windshield wiper motor failure and an oil leak due to the turbocharger on top of your normal tire, brake, rotor, windshield and oil maintenance.
