    hi ive just had the waterpump, cambelt and themostat changed fon my gti 1.8 t 20v, the car seems underpowered and slightly noiser than it used to be, i have also noticed that after around half an hours worth of driving the top radiator hose is extremely hot, and cant be touched. where the thermo housing is cool, is this normal,the gauge doesnt state overheating, but it doesnt seem right??

    If your not happy with the work or you think something is wrong, take it back and get it checked before you have a major issue.
