2001 1.8T overheat prob

mindofitsown -> 2001 1.8T overheat prob (8/22/2007 5:20:13 PM)
My car is overheating, not loosing any fluid, just overheating. I am pretty sure the fan is not coming on which would be a problem considering the 110 plus temps in Lost Wages(Las Vegas). I am seeing a few switches in the system, control module relay for the fan and i guess the fan switch itself. Also i considered the thermostat of course. You guys have any input for me? Just so i dont end up replacing the bad part last after i have replaced everything else. Problem kind of a long shot for some help on this considering the wide range of possibilities but, hey, it doesnt hurt to ask. She has 90k on her.

well after replacing a bad fan that i verified was bad and a bad switch which definately was bad, the problem still exsists. I was considering the thermostat next but the upper coolant hose coming from the radiatior is hot telling me that coolant is flowing. Any suggestions????!!!!! Please help. On the 1.8t that thermostat looks like a bitch to change. Has anyone done it on this engine. If so, was it a bitch.

thermo swap is a bitch....has the water pump been changed? if not, now is a good time to do the timing belt and thermo and get a METAL impeller NOT PLASTIC and replace the waterpump, i bet thats it
