I have a 2003 vw ^^ i belive its the 1.8 its 5 speed standard.. its overheating there is no leak, there is no flow back into the resevior for the antifreeze... i beleive its the water pump.. the fans turn on so its not the thermostat.. How do i fix this the easiest way myself..

please no stupid answers like take it to a shop or your ******* or something stupid.

any help however is great!
 
Could still be the thermostat. The thermostat has nothing to do with the fans those would be relays. The T-stat is a small metal disc in the coolant line if it sticks it can cause your car to run hot in the summer or possibly stop your heater from working in colder weather. I have never experienced a water pump go out that did not leak severely but that may only be my experience.
