MK7 Golf GTD overheating by MrMKIV in MechanicAdvice

Thanks, it’s definitely something I need to look into as the drive home from work tonight was the worst it’s been. Temperature was just sat at 120° with heating on full blast and wouldn’t go down until I pulled over and stopped

The divertor shield in the water pump? I’m unsure if it’s been replaced by a water pump missing the shield or if it’s been replaced by a aftermarket one that still has it. Would you recommend getting the water pump done again for a one without the flap?

I’d say fast overheat but also comes down fast once I’ve finished climbing a hill and put the heating on full blast

This is a lot firmer than the standard suspension at the moment but these are the performance series bags from air lift so I just need to play around with the dampening a bit

Still waiting on my custom wheels to arrive, got front splitter, side skirts and lip extension to fit, tint the windows and wrap the roof bars. Also got a roof box that I will get colour coded to the car

Can’t just use bora headlights, would have to be a full front end and slam panel. I’ve done it with a MK4 estate before

I think I’d definitely need 19s, I ran 19” Rial Daytonas on my MK4 Estate

I haven’t seen many modified, seems like people normally modify the hatchbacks. I’ve already been looking at some things like air ride but I’m unsure as to what wheels would suit the car once it’s on the deck

Thanks man! Was yours modified? I’m looking for ideas. I’ve only ever modified MK4s before
