Question I have a 1999 Golf manual transmission/1.9 L engine. Coolant level is fine, but
out of the blue it started making a whining noise (cyclical: it got faster when the
RPMs increased) and then the overheat light started blinking. When I came
home, I noticed a stain on the asphalt where I park, from some kind of leak.
Any thoughts most appreciated!
Answer Hi there, JL;
It is the water pump. Have the timing belt and tensioner replaced at the same time. Do you live in Louisiana? I have a cousin named JL that I haven't seen or heard from for 20 years or more. Originally from Kentucky. Anyway, hope this helps you get your Golf repaired. Good luck, JL.
