I changed the water pump clean the radiator, and i removed the thermostat. and the car still over heat in the city. when i drive the car on the hi way the car will not overheat. The coolent indictors always about  95-100 C.IF i trun the A/C on the car temp will stay at 100c all the time.
I took the car to VW agent in Yemen and he said they can not adjust the timing

it also could be your oil cooler isn't working sufficiently, its a cheap fix. Located next to the oil filter. Get a VAG check done, see what errors come up.
