    Keep a close eye on the coolant. If the problem persists, the radiator may need to be replaced, due to phosphate scale blocking passages. In the future, only use a 50/50 mixture of VW-recommended antifreeze and distilled water. Otherwise, only buy prediluted antifreeze.

    Verify that the cooling fan operates properly. This link, as well as several others in the General Automotive section of the Sticky, should help:
