2.8 v6 Golf Mk 4 2001 . Have recently replaced water pump, thermostat and housing. Problem solved there. Now when using heater or after a while driving steam is entering car and coolant warning light comes on. Could you give me an idea of what it could be and how to fix this. Thanks

You will have to get the cooling system checked for a leak in the heater core, this is normally the reason for such a problem, the removal of a heater core is normally a very big job, bet left to a mechanic.
