[Vwdiesel] Ways of cooling an AAZ

[Pablo Moretti]

Thanks Bill, I´ve already changed the head gasket, previous owner had an
incorrect one, too thin so it was over compressed, so that´s not the cause
of the heat. There are not original Diesel Golfs here in Uruguay, this one
had a 1.8 L petrol engine, now an AAZ. All of them made in Mexico. Maybe
there are some parts like the exhaust and radiator, that belongs to the old
engine. There is no oil in water, it is not the gasket. I really don´t know
why it heats up so much.
