    Nice car mate. Overheating issues always start with cheapest fix first if no one knows what it may be.


    It has water / coolant anti freeze.

    All hoses are secure and not crimped anywhere preventing water flow. (Radiator, heater etc)

    Bad timing? too far retarded

    Radiator cap ensure it is releasing pressure, I do not know what Golf cap is set at. An example would be 11lbs pressure. If suspect replace it.

    Thermostat, does it have one? is it working replace if suspect.

    I am not sure how many welsh plugs a Golf engine has need to confirm none are leaking.

    Water pump?

    Head gasket?

    It is a process of elimination if you have no tell tale signs unfortunately

    That is all I can think of ( and I am no mechanic)


    Good luck with it.
