sounds like water pump has gone, simular symptoms, get one with a metal impellor..
apparently the new plastic impellor ones are improved, i`d still get a metal one though.

Excuse my French but sh!t :(
-
it`s happened to most of us here mate, dont worry..lol
-
Is it a easy job?
-
cam belt needs to come off. just make sure you have everything lined up and that it`s tensioned correctly.
buy yourself a haynes manual mate, it`ll come in handy when you need to take these jobs on yourself :smiley:
-
Yeah I do need one

got a quote from a garage in Bristol called streetwise motors they do revo remaps ect.
They quoted about £380 :huh:

Not a bad price to be honest, is that with a cambelt kit as well?
-
Yeah Genuine VW one too
-
Replace the tensioner too. It's an extra £70 or so but if it goes it will write the engine off
Metal ones can do more damage if the impellers go on them...
-
I think that was included in the price mate tbh all parts come from TPS also
-
Very good price then :afro:
-
there goes my exhaust money :undecided:
