[Vwdiesel] More coolant issues

[Stephen Kraus]

Took a test spin, new water pump is DEFINETLY helping, just spinning around
the neighborhood brought the temperatures down slightly, and its holding at
normal operating temperature. I suspect that their is a SLIGHT headgasket
leak, but apparently not enough to keep the new water pump from doing its
job.

Get a pretty good return stream, it bubbles every now and then but then
resumes normal stream.
