I was coming back today about 2 hours into a 2.5 hour drive, and the engine started over heating. I pulled off to the side, checked all the fluids which looks fine. Let it set for about 15 minutes and then started it back up. The temp jumped right back up after about a minute. Had it towed and trying to figure out the next steps.
Any suggestions? It's a 2005 b5.5 passat with 96k miles on it. Timing belt and water pump were done around 80k.
I did take this picture which doesn't look right, maybe a water pump failure? Thoughts?
