What are the common causes of engine overheating in an Audi 80?

I have noticed my Audi 80's engine temperature is rising quickly and I am worried about potential damage. What are some common reasons for engine overheating in this particular model?

The most common cause of engine overheating in the Audi 80 is a faulty water pump. It is responsible for circulating coolant through the engine and a malfunction can lead to overheating.

Another possible cause of engine overheating in the Audi 80 is a blocked or leaking radiator. This can prevent proper cooling of the engine and result in increased temperature.
