soon as i get that supsension in it will be lowered mate! I need help with this overheating problem!!!

Nice car mate. Overheating issues always start with cheapest fix first if no one knows what it may be.


It has water / coolant anti freeze.

All hoses are secure and not crimped anywhere preventing water flow. (Radiator, heater etc)

Bad timing? too far retarded

Radiator cap ensure it is releasing pressure, I do not know what Golf cap is set at. An example would be 11lbs pressure. If suspect replace it.

Thermostat, does it have one? is it working replace if suspect.

I am not sure how many welsh plugs a Golf engine has need to confirm none are leaking.

Water pump?

Head gasket?

It is a process of elimination if you have no tell tale signs unfortunately

That is all I can think of ( and I am no mechanic)


Good luck with it.
