    i have a 2002 jetta 2.0L, and just it now overheats. I've changed the thermostat twice, the fans come on, my coolant level is fine, and I've flushed the radiator. I can't even drive it to the end of my driveway! I don't know what to do. Any suggetions?

    I have a 2001 2.0 Jetta and have the same problem with overheating. I takes about 2 min to redline. I have replaced the thermostat and problem remains. I read the 2nd comment and was asking about draining air out of the hose. How do you do that? and I that a REAL issue. It seems if any air gets in its not keeping the coolent from doing its job. Thanks for your comments.

I'm having problems with my 2000 honda. It keeps
A few questions first...are you sure its overheating and not just a bad temp sensor? is yes then how many miles on car? if over 90K than did you have the water pump replaced with your timing belt?Is your fan coming on at all? Is your radiator full?If your water pump has been changed and your radiator is full and your fan is working properly and you have a new thermostat then you should take your radiator off and have it flow tested to make sure its operating properly, and no you cant just pour water through it to tell if its working properly.

93 Jetta is overheating. Changed the thermostat and the pump is working. On idle the temp stays down, but while driving rises fast.
Check to make sure there is no air in the cooling system,and make sure the cooling fans are working.The cooling fans should come on,on there own,and go off on there own,without the ac or defrost on,make sure they are off.

2001 montie carlo fans wont cool off engine
if it is overheating try replacing the thermostat first. If it is stuck closed the coolant cant cycle through the engine properly. Also, try a flush and fill.

My 2001 VW JETTA GLS IS OVERHEATING
If one pipe from the radiator is hotter than the other one its usually the thermostat or water pump, seen as you already changed the thermostat id say its the waterpump.if you start the car when temp. is syill low enough to take the radiator cap off and leave it idleing and you see bubbles from the water at the cap then you possibly have a blowen head gasket etc

1996 vw jetta vr6 keeps overheating,
Get another boyfriend! "Just kidding"! ok, this is what I mean about "leaving it to the experts". #1 Make sure there is enough coolant, Check for leaks. Install a coolant pressure tester and check for leaks. Fix whats leaking. #2 Make sure coolant fans are coming on, and specifically at 220 degrees. If not, check fuses. Jump the coolant fan to make sure it comes on. if it does, then you may have a bad relay, make sure relay is commanded on. At this point , you may need a wire schematic for the coolant fans and related parts.

Fans run constantly
check for a loose connection, could be on the a/c side.. maybe someone pull a wire to change a battery or something check around..
