Best Answer

fans not coming on when they are supposed to coolant might be too old or the wrong coolant water pump might not be working air pocket in coolant system coolant temp sensor faulty could be debris in front of radiator

Also there is the fan circuitry under the coolant globe. In some cases I have seen that constant overflow has damaged circuits in the box and the unit will need replacement

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


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?

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.
