Check if the water pump is functioning properly, as a failing water pump can cause overheating issues. Ensure there are no leaks and that the coolant is circulating correctly. Let me know if this helps or if you have any further questions.
Good evening, is there a way to check if the water pump is working correctly or not? Any tips?

Yes, you can check the water pump by looking for coolant leaks around the pump area and listening for unusual noises like grinding or whining, which may indicate a failing pump. Also, with the engine cool, remove the radiator cap and start the engine to see if the coolant is circulating. If it's not, the pump might be faulty. Let me know how it goes or if you have more questions.
