Leaks & Noises
Hi,
my golf just started over heating. I turned the car heater on to help out but it doesn't blow warm air. the coolant levels seem fine and i am fairly confident the radiator is ok as it was replaced only 3 months ago. haven't checked the oil for mayonaise or white smoke from exhaust as it was dark. any help would be much appreciated! thanks,

sounds like you have a air lock in the system so you would need to run the car up to temp with the heater running full and keep a eye on the water level and top up as the water level dropps if nothing happens then you have a serious blockage in the system which would require a garage to sort out
