Overheating- Water pump/thermostat/timing belt
Having now got back into the car (see another thread....) I was tooling about Glasgow when the engine started to overheat. To cut a long story short, the flow through the radiator doesnt seem right (Its cool when the engine block is overheating. I think that its the water pump or thermostat. Any thoughts?
These were renewed along with the timing belt in Nov 2010 @ 53761 miles by A for Audi when in The Lairds ownership). Given that either needs the timing belt removed and that the car is now at 105000 miles whats the thought about getting the belt replaced too? I am also faced with an exhaust repair (leaking joint before the cats) along with final drive seal (which I noticed when investigating the exhaust problem!) so am keen to avoid unecessary expense.
