do you think I should insist the car is replayced its only4months old ?
As the car is less than 6 months old (and you've had it for an even shorter time), you can certainly show that the fault was there at the time of purchase. The Sale of Goods Act says the car should be of satisfactory quality and fit for purpose. In theory you could insist on a replacement car of the same spec/value. Doing this in practice would be a whole lot more difficult.
You could start with the position that the car is faulty and not what a reasonable person would expect of a nearly new VW product, but be prepared to negotiate and let them have a go at fixing it. Ask them to show goodwill by giving you a free service and another year's warranty. In your shoes, I'd introduce an agreement that the car has to be fixed within a certain timescale, to your satisfaction (i.e. no further leaks), or you reserve the right to invoke the Sale of Goods Act and formally reject the car.
Good luck and let us know what happens.
