overheating issue

[10k]

Ok so about night ago I was coming back home and my car started overheating when I came to a stop my fan wasn't coming on so I jumped the sensor that's by thermostat and it came on and so I figured it was the sensor so I gave it a night so I can check it out right and now that I did...I had it on so it can reach warming temperature and as I was touching my hoses from the radiator the top was hot and the bottom one cold I don't think its the water pump cause its new when I did my H22 swap..my only thought was the thermostat..my system is bleed out so no air at all..

Possibility thermostat, more than likely.

Yea I was thinking the same I just wanted to get a second answer to make sure..

[KpoweredCB7]

both hoses should be hot if the thermostat were working(correctly).

It could be your water pump. I had a Passat that was overheating and replaced everything but the water pump because it was "new". I got everything back together and it still was overheating. Turns out the proproller on the pump broke off. It had the same "symptoms" as your CB.

Not sure if you fixed it yea, bit it sounds like a bad thermostat. I would just change the cooling fan switch out as well if your replacing the thermostat.

I had a similar issue and swapped out my thermostat the 2 sensors temp and fan switch and still overheated the only thing i had added or modded around that time was my header and down pipe with no heat shield so dn if that may be the cause. but anyways I bought this additive called hyper lube or something bright bright flourecent green from oriellys and its supposed to keep your engine about 20 degrees cooler and its worked so far for me. Also check your fan timer switch behind the glove box .
