No, mine is fine. It's going to be one of three things I expect, either you have an airlock (unlikely unless you've fiddled with it recently), you have a blocked heater or the airflow thingummy isn't moving properly.

does your engine get up to temperature?
It could be your thermostat stuck open, how many miles on your mk2?

The question is why does it have an air lock - worst case scenario is head gasket but i would not consider that yet.
Best drain the coolant and fill with fresh but when you do you need to follow the correct bleed procedure for your engine.
I know Haynes manuals are not the best but it will show the bleed points for that engine - however they are not hard to find and figure out to someone who is mechanically minded.

Well the only thing I can think of it looks like it has had a new radiator not long before I bought it. First things first going to find the bleed knobs and bleed the system first and see how I get on.
