.........OP, another thing I would like to mention... Last year I had my coolant flushed from the system and when I first drove the car I noticed abnormal temp readings. The tech told me the car's ECU needed to "relearn" and in the meantime I would experience some temp faults. He was right, after several long drives, the car normalized and was reading the proper 180F mark.

Just joined this forum. I'm looking for some help on my 1999 C2 coupe 6mt with 112K.
Problem: overheating
Attempted fixes:
1. new water pump
2. new low temp thermostat
3. new hoses
4. removed and cleaned both radiators
5. drained and refilled coolant system using airlift II
6. installed 3rd center radiator
7. installed two new electric cooling fans
8. filled system with brand new coolant
9. New coolant reservoir cap
Current symptoms:
1. overheating
2. no coolant leaks
Not sure what to do next. Looking for some solid advice.
Regards,
Cj

I agree with everyone else, it would be really helpful for you to access the more accurate temp reading within the system or to use an IR reading. When you say there are "visible signs" that it is overheating, what exactly are you seeing? Is it boiling over?
