[QUOTE="morpheus5039, post: 608056, member: 6539"] First thing first, did you check your fan clutch? Did you hear the fan noise during hot traffic jam afternoon (and you will feel the engine is less powerful)? If not, then your fan clutch out. Secondly, did you check your auxiliary fan? You can see the fan from the front kidney grill. When switching on the A/C, the fan should turn at low speed, when the ambient temperature is very hot, the fan will turn faster and you will hear a different fan noise (like mercedes 124 / peugeot 406 electric fan noise). When thing really gets hot, even you don't switch on the A/C, the auxiliary fan will still be turned on automatically. If confirmed both are doing good, then is your thermostat working normal? It should be opened when certain temperature reached (depending on the thermostat temp. that you use), if it's not working, then the engine won't have sufficient cooler after running for a while.
