@Leeyack, i stand to be corrected; i think the things to check in cars when there is overheating is (1)To check if the fan is working properly, (2) If the radiator is not short of water before any other thing can follow... Thanks.

I have also noticed that the wrong type of engine oil can cause over heating after say one month of use. This happened to me in my MB C-klass b4 I was advised that there was heavy and light oil. when I changed to Total oil, the over heating stopped

Check if your radiator is licking and try to put coolant in the radiator.
