Have the water pump checked. My 99 had an overheating problem; guage would go up and sometimes engine would stall. It turned out to be the water pump.

How do you know if you have to change the thermostat for your overheating problem fan works properly but the temp gage goes all the way up and most times comes down possible stuck thermostat in jetta?
There is no sure way to know until you take the thermostat out and check it. After removing the thermostat, you can test it by submerging it slowly, with a tool in boiling water. You can then see the thermostat open up. If it does, this is not your overheating cause. If it does not, you need to purchase a new one. Install the new one and you will find out if that was the problem.

Why would a car over heat?
I had a VW Jetta that had a problem with overheating. It ended up being the thermostat had gone bad so the fan never "kicked on." A car can over heat if there isnt enough antifreeze in the radiator or a bad thermostat or if your fan isnt working properly or is bad
