Re: overheating problem

Welcome to AF, for the problem does the aux electric fan come on when the vehicle get's hot or when you turn on the a/c. If it doesn't have an electrical fan mounted on the radiator along with the mechanical fan then you need to get one as the mechanical fan is not powerful enough to pull enough air across the radiator to keep it cool. If that's fine then try running some cooling system cleaner and radiator flush through the cooling system and completely flushing the cooling system until nothing but clear water runs out(make sure that the heater is on full blast). Then when refilling after getting the antifreeze mixture to the correct balance add a bottle of water wetter which is available at most auto parts stores. It works wonders for helping with overheating problems.
