POLO GTI 6C Overheating

Post by Grega459 »

Wondering if anyone has seen this before in a polo gti.
Car was overheating, put new thermostat housing and water pump in as it was leaking thinking it would solve this overheating issue.
the car is fine when driving through the air but when its in traffic or sitting idle the temp starts to creep up.
This is a video of it , my next guess would be the temp sensor at raditor. https://files.fm/f/gnthuu6ut

Sounds like the thermostat, it needs to be fitted a certain way. I had a problem on my old golf on the motor way the car temp would drop off the middle mark. My thermo was sticking open, your sounds like it's not opening or fitted wrong.
