Volkswagen Beetle 2000 200000 miles
Hi everyone, I have a Beetle 2.0 and its engine overheats. Apparently, water is not flowing properly, so it seems to be a failure in the water pump. When starting the engine, the ducts from the radiator's entrance are fulled with pure vapor and the hose that leads to the water deposit is not blocked, but still water does not leave when accelerating. The fans do not start working either when the car overheats. The fuel pump has already been replaced but without positive results. Might it be that the new pump is damaged as well? How can I make sure it is not the head gasket that is failing? How can I notice whether the pump is working properly? Thanks.
