Polo TSI 1.2 highline CJZ engine, water level

Post by Tshepang051 »

Good day
I'm having a problem with my polo 1.2 cjz highline. The car was driving fine and all of sudden the temperature guage went upward of 125° with no sign of water loss.
The car stays at 90 when at idle but once you drive it starts to overheat but doesn't show any loss of water

Please help

You might have a failing water pump, resulting in insufficient circulation.
If you drive and it starts to overheat, how hot are the upper and lower radiator hoses?
