MK3 Engine prob - coolant

Post by RSTsteve »

A Friend of mine called me up hoping i could help him out with an issue

He done a water pump change on his car and installed a new therostate.

Problem is he said the coolant isnt going round the engine properly (not sure if i heard him right)

Has anyone had this problem before?

You must have an air block somewhere you will need to bleed the system properly.

Or the thermostat (sp) is not working correctly.
