I purchased a 94 VW Golf Diesel a few months ago and it has been running great, except for the fact that it has been running hot. When I first got the car the temp gauge did not work so I replaced all of the temp sensors in the RAD and water jackets, three in all. This got the RAD fan and temp gauge working properly. BUT the car was still running at 110 F when it should be running around 90 F so I replaced the thermostat on the weekend and took the car out for a trip, it's still running around 100 - 115 F, when I had the thermostat out I inspected the water pump and it looks great and moves freely. WHAT AM I MISSING?
