You temperature gauge is not moving at all? What is the starting point of your temperature gauge? After vehicle runs for a few minutes, does the gauge move at all?
Snap picture of gauge, from cold engine and 10 minutes later...........

Confirm thermostat has been removed and reinstall please. Hoping the wiring has not been tampered with.
Re: Any Golf 3 Guru In D House Please Help ME Solve This by pufframmy: 9:59pm On May 11, 2017
yep i got to know it has been remove
is it advisable to use it like that in other thread i learn that using direct fan without thermostat could make the engine consume more fuel and also ware the enginer itself
if only fuel consumption am still ok by that but if it the enginer wearing that will not ok by me

That car got overheating issue before but the previous owner got the overheating suppressed by the removal of thermostat and fan running direct .So the car will still overheat again unless you make attempt to find the root cause of the overheating and resolve .Seem u already have a leak since u are already topping up the coolant to require level which can be the reason for the previous overheating condition .
Re: Any Golf 3 Guru In D House Please Help ME Solve This by pufframmy: 4:48pm On May 15, 2017
but while driving without AC the Temperature is Normal And the Guage moving is just one bit?
only detect that while driving long distance and Ac on that when the Overheating will Start What do u Advance me to DO Sir

where is your location sir??
Re: Any Golf 3 Guru In D House Please Help ME Solve This by djfiki: 8:43pm On May 15, 2017
70 does not mean your car is overheating. Overheating starts from when the temp gauge reads 110 celcius and above.

Don't panic unnecessarily!

it reach the middle point while The AC was on after about 30 minute driving nonstop before i park to let the gas of the heat pressure comes down before i added water to it but while i park i notice that my fan was not working then i saw the connector that makes the fan to work i fix it and the fan started working back ,
but what is bothering me is that after some minute on road again with ac on the gauge will rise to 70, as it reaches that i use to off the Ac back, cause i dont want it to over it again but then the Fan was working perfectly..

secondly
while driving around my area with AC on the Gauge always stays down not even 10 % up on temperature guage i need you all to give me idea
thanks all

Your temperature gauge is temperamental...... It seems to only rise when your vehicle has already started overheating.......
Have you had a look at your thermostat?

Take vehicle to a proper mechanic for mechanical evaluation
