vas13hatch is an unknown quantity at this point
You should figure out why it's overheating, open the radiator cap then let the car warm up and see if the coolant is moving across, if not wait a lil while, keep an eye on the temp gauge and check it again, if it doesn't move you need to check the thermostat, it may be stuck closed, better to get a new one either way, replace any coolant you lost pulling the thermo and check the radiator again. If the coolant still isn't moving then you need a water pump. Then check to see if the clicking sound is still there.

Also pull your valve cover off, when I got mine I pulled the vc and the upper timing chain guide was broken laying on the chain. This seems to be pretty common and may be the clicking you here..

Good luck with it
