slight overheat??

[vwgolf182]

so tonight i noticed a slight overheat, just above halfway.

i hav no major loss of water but some mayo in the water pipes.

is my head gasket goin or could it be the water pump as ive noticed a bit of a whirring noise from the water pump area as if the bearings in the pump are on their way out.

would it be a good idea to change the head gasket and pump or can anyone point me in the direction of which it may be??

if i do both is it a hard job and how long could it take??

any help would be great

cheers

[tweed]

doesn't matter!

it is possible, and its likely headgasket is damaged because of poor water pump

All because the temp needle read slightly over half ? How much you talking ?

Mine always reads half or very rarely just the other side of the half but still on the hot edge of the normal temp mark ?

So that's a problem ?
