2004 Jetta overheating

Asked by Enrique Jun 13, 2018 at 01:25 AM about the 2004 Volkswagen Jetta GL Wagon FWD

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

My jetta started overheating the other day. It has coolant.
No leaks. Put in new temp sensor, new fans,  and
thermostat. Problem seems to be that the water isn't
circulating. But dont know what it could be. Water pump is
supposed to be good but at this point I dont even know
what's working and what is faulty.

I've heard of the plastic blades on the water pump impeller simply crumbling away. The pump shaft is turning but it can't circulate the coolant without blades. The pump isn't easy to get to on this engine but that's what I would check.
