Right guys im back from VW. Just had a Diagnostic done on the car. Turns out it is the waterpump playing up. I seen with my own eyes during all this and the guy showed me the system on the computer showing whats what. Coolant check turned out fine, Sitting at -25 which is what VW recommend. So after all the fuss and a nice wee chat with the Service bloke i now have myself booked in on Tuesday to have waterpump done and also Thermostat even though the needle is reaching 90. The heaters themselves started to work on way to VW (Typical) but I defo know whats what now.

Price: £200 inc VAT. Plus thermostat.

Whos wanting sue'd first? Rhyso or Rich haha kidding..

Interesting.  What sort of diagnostics did he do?? Might be worth writing up what you saw as a pointer to other people  :smiley:

Rich posted first so sue him  :tongue: I don't even have a Golf so you shouldn't be listening to anything I say  :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

What about your cambelt?? Has that been changed recently because it will be coming off anyway

Timing belt was done last November before i bought it, reciept etc there. However they never got the waterpump done at the same time which they should have..

As for Diagnostic he plugged it into car on the dash bit thats all i know, by the time i got into workshop the car was on it.

As long as its been done then it should be fine :afro:

Hmm I'm intrigued to that as I would have thought the water pump is more of a visual inspection rather than a computer diagnostic  :undecided:
