Overheating

Hi, Linde H40D-02 H2X394D52718 2013 3250 hrs
Truck gets hot after 15 mins, it has the 2.0 vw engine,
Have installed new water pump & radiator is clean, there's No thermostat in the housing not sure if there's ever been one,
it's an open cab so no cab heater, top pipe to the radiator gets very hot & there is flow from the top of the radiator pipe back to the expansion tank, not sure what to try next, everything is spotless no dirt in the expansion tank ?

I think you don't need the thermostat, you could eliminate it. But the source of the problem may be in the water pump. Those pumps usually break and leak liquid, is this your case?
