not really a non running fan can cause overheating------ overheating problem --check fluid level--test coolant--check oil and coolant for mix problem ---water pump --etc
There are many different coolants and if you mix 2 different ones together they can react and turn into a gel which don't do the car much good! the best way is look what colour coolant is in the system already and as long as you use the same colour coolant it will be fine, main colour coolants are green,blue pink and orange, green and blue can be mixed together as can orange and pink but Pink cannot be mixed with blue or green, i would guess the coolant in your car will be the pink stuff but please check 1st, hope this has been usefull to you.

well start by checking the coolant level it may be low,if it is then check for coolant leak, if coolant is full then bad news, ive done a few of these with overheating and no heat, they had bad head gaskets, if coolant is full have a block test done, this will confrim the gasket problem,also dont drive could cause converter and o2 sensor damage. good luck.
Have you tried the 8 mm bleeder screw on top of the thermostat housing? You may have air trapped behind your thermostat. Also, overheating can be caused by a collapsed lower radiator hose. If it's soft and you can squeeze it together, then under acceleration it closes down on itself thus preventing the flow of your coolant. Also check your radiator cap. It's supposed to be a 1.1 Bar cap but if it's not functioning correctly, by having to add coolant to the coolant reservoir bottle or the coolant overflow bottle overflowing, usually says it's the radiator cap. These are the simple fixes that you ,may have overlooked.
Unfortunately, This Problem is Going to Be Either a Blown Head Gasket or a Cracked Block. Just in Case, Check all the Hoses and Check and see if your Model Has a Transmission Cooler Installed, Hopefully on of these is the Culprit. Please Rate My Response! Thanks!
