Does your gasket burn? Was the top cylinder filled after cut? Do you always cover the white plastic radiator mouth? Overheats are usually from cooling system. |

Things that might cause overheating in cars 1 Bad radiator or blocked radiator 2 water leakage. I had this problem with my Toyota and honda.the hose was leaking I had to repair it myself. I changed one of the water hose and refixed it myself. 3 thermostat 4 faulty water pump.there was a time I had this overheating with my toyota.the mechanic was just doing trail by error. I just told him to check and change the water pump and the problem was solved. 5 faulty or bad radiator fans Any other thing apart from this you might need to check your village people 2 Likes |

The number 1 problem of overheating engines is Leakey radiators. The second is fan. When the radiator leaks, the engine overheats and you have to be topping the water frequently. It is not the overheating that makes the radiator take extra water. Rather, it is the leakage in the radiator that led to other things. Try to flush your radiator and check its connecting pipes. 1 Like |

Philipxxxx0:As long as the engine cranks , he can fix it and drive it just fine . Cars look beat up and rundown in Nigeria mostly due to harsh weather and environment, substandard petroleum products . Any old car can be restored back to life ! See a sample of transformation we do !

take the radiator for steam wash and flushing if you haven't done so, and the water pump might be defective |

You can start by first giving that engine a good wash... |
Re: Help Me Find A Permanent Solution To My Overheating Car by Microwhy: 4:16pm On Aug 16, 2020 |
3 things is involve.. Take your radiator for thorough washing and tell them to clean and through the cells. Check your thermostat, radiator cover and direction of rotation of your cooling fan(if the wire is interchanged, it won't cool your water instead it will add to heating it). Check your top cylinder gasket, engine top for crack, cylinder wall for scratch and tell them to check your combustion chamber clearance before putting another gasket. Also, engine oil is not just lubricating the engine, it also takes away some considerable amount of heat from the engine. Use coolant ... |

Although the wiring does not look encouraging, from the look of things but have you taken the car to an authorized Golf auto mechanic? Your road - side mechanic must have run out of options. If you don't really feel OK with this, save yourself the embarrassments by selling the car, add money to buy another. In this pandemic times, you may even find a better car and at affordable price. 1 Like |

CHANGE/SERVICE YOUR WATER PUMP. THE WATER PUMP HARDLY SPOILS. IT JUST GETS STIFF AND STOPS TURNING. SO EITHER IT IS SERVICED OR CHANGED. |
