Title: PLEASE HELP ME. MK4 V5 OVERHEAT ON LOW RMP
Post by: speedV5 on 17 September 2013, 21:29

Hi there. Please sorry for my english but its my first year :-)

So i have vw golf V5 2.3 90k.
I have this car for year and never had problem with it.(till now)
The car starts over heating after 15-20min engine runing (no drive)
the bouth fans are working and you can see them come on/off for like 3times before car start overheating.
So after this 15-20min it come like flash. Temperature is going UP untill i press gas and let the engine go for 2000-3000rmp. Teperature will go down very quickly but only for one min if i not keep play with the engine amd keep in high rmp. If i not the tepmerature will go up in few sec and engine is HOT!!
There is newbthermostat and coolant house.

Any idea what it can be?? Thank you.
