Re: VW Overheating
 
Hi Gary. Thanks for reply. Well I've changed the thermostat and cleaned the
rad and checked the water pump. It goes round Ok, the impeller isnt damaged
and the drive belt doesnt slip. It's the gradual increase in temp over the
years that makes me suspect the scale build up. Thanks anyway.

You can't really clean the radiator. You'd need to remove it and
either have it re-cored or "rodded" which is a term that means remove
the ends and stick a rod through each tube. Cheaper to buy a new one.

Scale doesn't just build up in one place, and as others have stated
doesn't happen if you're taking care of your vehicle. The things
I've mentioned, however, occur no matter what over time.

A tip for your radiator. Take it out and empty it. Plug all the
holes but one and fill it. Empty what you just filled into a
measurable container. See if the amount it held matches the capacity
of the radiator. (Bet it doesn't)
