I got a call from Seamus saying that it needs a timing belt and a water pump. I know it needs it. Its almost 40kmi over the recommend mileage. > > My question is will a bad water pump cause the heat to not work? I know older OEM VW water pumps have the plastic impeller that separates from the spline. I had to replace one on my MK3 Jetta.The car doesnt overheat at all. Im thinking it may just be a clogged heater core. I also know the timing belt needs to be done BAD. > > Any help is greatly welcomed yes. waterpump impellar broken = no heatz bro. if it werent winter it would over heat when you start driving, and at idle temp would be fine. edit, for 2k you better get a reach around. a timing belt job shouldn’t run more than 600$ or so… drive car to waynes little shop of horror, or tow if needed. ill AAA for you myself if its seriously 2 grand for a timing belt/wp job!! --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/heating-issues-01-5-passat/256540)._
