I have a 96 golf 2.0 that is overheating. Have already replaced:water pump, thermostat, radiator, water level ok. Does not seem to be boiling over but is definitely getting too hot. Temp is fine at idle for long periods but heats rapidly when driven.
Hmmm...I would say check your thermostat but I don't think Mark 3 Golf's have one...hmmm...try the thing in place of the thermostat...it's on the hose that goes into the engine block...has wire connections...it might not be letting coolant pass through your system.
