Causes of overheating?
My car has been running hot of and on for about 6 months. I have been going through the possible causes, getting them fixed one by one. I started with the thermostat and then the timing belt/water pump. Next thing I'm doing is having the radiator replaced. What other possible causes could there be for the car running hot?

If you have changed your water pump, check your thermostat. Actually, replace it with an OEM piece. Also, flush radiator and refill with some nice fresh coolant. Bleed ALL the air out of the radiator. If that fails, check if your radiator fan is turning on. If that fails, check if all your hoses aren't clogged. If that fails, it might be your headgasket.

Make sure your radiator fan is comming on.
If it is, then the problem is probably your radiator(since you've already replaced water pump and thermostat).
