I bought a 2001 VW Jetta yesterday. I drove it about 25 miles back to my house and noticed the temperature gauge for the coolant was a bit higher than it should be (about 3/4 of the way). Towards the end of the drive the fan began to make noise louder than it should be. When I turned the car off it took about 30 seconds for the fan to stop and it was pretty loud. Today I drove about 3 miles, stopped at a stoplight, the check engine light flashed and the car shut off. Now it will not start and the engine makes clicking noises when I turn the ignition. What could be going on?
