Re: VW Overheating
 

If you have been using plain water for the last 5 years, your rad is
plugged up for sure.

You are 'supposed' to use an antifreeze/coolant mix that has
anti-corrosion properties in it. It also changes the boiling point and
freezing point of the 'water' you mix it with.

You can usually get a rad re-cored. They take the tanks off and put all
new guts in it. Just had the one on my Jeep done. My rad didn't look
'too' plugged up, but my temp gauge changed by about half the gauge's
range lower. Went from 3/4 the way up to 1/4 the way up.

For future reference, you 'might' just want to post this kind of a
question to a VW group instead of to a Jeep newsgroup....

You also might want to look to see if it is a top posting group like
'this' one is or a bottom posting group like some seem to think it
should be. (back in the old days bulletin boards went that way and were
really hard to change, now a days though....)

Bottom posting makes no sense to me because I 'read' the thread as it
happens, I don't want to read the damn thing every time I click, I just
want the next answer which will be at the top if done right.

This is only probably true. In Silverton we have fairly pure water, despite
the mining and all. In Albuquerque, well I wouldn't use it. It also has to
do with the amount lost over time. It's not a good idea to use tap water,
but it's not all equal either. Topping up coolant is an occasional
requirement, but more than say a cup a year and you've got a leak, and
problems.
