What is the possible case of engine overheating?
Engines can overheat for many reasons. In general, it’s because something’s wrong within the cooling system and heat isn’t able to escape the engine compartment. The source of the issue could include a cooling system leak, faulty radiator fan, broken water pump, or clogged coolant hose.
Is overheated engine fixable?
Your radiator is likely already damaged, but in the early stages of overheating, it can be repaired. The more you drive on it, the more you’re likely to see burst hoses burst, failed radiator stems, and exploding cooling systems.
What problems can overheating cause an engine?
Severe Engine Damage from Engine Overheating: Cracked Engine Block. Just like the cylinder head can warp from excess heat, so can the engine block. As superheated areas of the engine block expand and contract, it can form cracks leading to significant oil leaks, loss of performance and further overheating.

VW 1.8t Water Pump Failure This is another rather common problem in 1.8’s because Volkswagen put a plastic impeller within the water pump which is more prone to failure. A water pump carries coolant from the radiator into the engine ensuring the engine is running at an optimal temperature.
Why does my VW Passat rattle when its cold?
It only occurs for a short period of time when the engine is cold. The mechanic I was going through thinks it’s the Cam chain tensioner but I think he is starting to just guess and I’m going to move on to another mechanic. Other then the rattle when it’s cold it runs good, besides the hiccups from the misfires.
