pufframmy: 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 oblo: |

pufframmy: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 . |

pufframmy: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! 1 Like |

on sunday when it started the over heating while on AC it reach the Middle point of the Guage when i was driving before i park and put water on the radiator djfiki: |
Re: Any Golf 3 Guru In D House Please Help ME Solve This by pufframmy: 10:23pm On May 15, 2017 |
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 |

pufframmy: 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 |
