No it is impossible to say without testing the vehicle and doing a complete analysis with the correct diagnostic equipment.These vehicle have numerous electrical faults that sometimes the VW dealer service centres cannot diagnose. What has been happening to you is the mechanics have been guessing what the problem is and just changing things without really identifying the actual cause - as you have now found. These are very unreliable cars so do not be fooled by the "german quality" label that people frequently and wrongly apply to German cars.If you want and need a reliable car I would recommend you get rid of this Golf and get yourself a Mazda (and have any prospective used car thoroughly inspected before biuying). If you keep the Golf I guarantee it will give you much grief and cost you plenty more repairs.

I had the same problem or more so that my temp would run cold for miles and miles then go to normal and drop. It was my glow plugs. They needed to be changed. My boyfriend changed them himself in 10 minutes after I had been quoted 2 HOURS for labour!!

it should be on a sticker on the inside of your door jamb

Change the coil (Pack) End check the number 3 fuel injecter

Hi RichWhat your saying it leaks while driving and especially when you shut your car off? the first thing comes to mind is water pump usually they are noticable after shutting off the engine. If you can put a presure test on the system and leave it on at about 14lbs - 18 pounds look for leaks . look at your heater core if you have dranage from the bottom of the chassi, look at the hoses , thermostat housing that is on the water pump you didnt say what Engine you have im sure you will find the leak after running the engine slide a clean peace of card board on the engine and watch for drips you will trace it no problem . Hope its not your head gasket at times head bolts are not really tork right and will devolp a leak.You have aluminum head and cast Iron block head could be warped, Radiator with a small leak hidding behind your AC condensor. All the best maybe you can post your find thanks Joe
