MY05 - intermittent overheating
Hi - Can anyone point me in the right direction. My 05 scooby is overheating but only when accelerating, or under load. On tickover it stays at normal. If not stuck in traffic the gauge falls back to around the normal mark but if behind something it rises. The head gasket was replaced in Dec last year and ive had no trouble with it since now. Its using a lot of water, but no evidence of water in the oil or oil in the water - any ideas?

I had the same on my bug....the water pipe was split to the turbo and was simply evaporating as it hit the turbo and not a lot was visible.......... Long shot though
what was it in the end ??
