Hi
Im new to the club and need some help advise on my 2004 53 plate golf gti turbo mk4 Aum engine code
I was at the car wash today gettin a wash and when i drove away about ten minutes lata i heard a beeping noise from my dash
and it said stop and the temp gauge was at the top so i stopped at the garage and checked the water which was fine so i drove home and looked on sites at what the problem could be.
I read that it could be the water pump so i removed the return pipe from the top of the header tank and it was returning fine
I also have hot air from the climate/heater inside the car
The twin rad fans work
its not using water or leaking and has not mixed with the oil so dont think its head gasket
What i did notice is the top radiator hose is hot and the lower hose is a lot colder
could the problem just be the thermostat
or is there a bigger problem ..
sorry for the long write just tryin to help with any replies
any help much appreciated
thanks
