PLEASE HELP ME. MK4 V5 OVERHEAT ON LOW RMP
« 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.

could have shed some of the fins on the impellor meaning it cant pump the coolant around fast enough ?

I was think about whater pump but all people keep saying it will overheat on high rmp not low.

I forgot to say as there is whater blowing in the slim pipe come from whater tank and its going in the engine.
But i not loosing any whater and cant see any funny colors. Also oil looks clean too.
