Hello guys, Good day.

I own a 1999 Peugeot 406. This car have i used without any problems. I recently moved to Owerri from Kaduna and have need for the car here. A driver was paid to deliver the car to me. Prior to this, i had them take the car to Peugeot (PAN) in Kaduna for an over haul and servicing. The driver who was to bring the car, upon reaching Aloma in Kogi state called to say that the car is overheating and that the fan was bad. Had the fan replaced,then he said the radiator. Had that fixed then he said the top gasket. Had that replaced too then he said that the car still overheats. That the mechanics working on it where he is are saying the engine is tired. Never heard such. Well, I had that even replaced 11 months ago, and had the car parked for the five months I've been away so, the engine being tired is ruled out.

Is it possible for the fan, radiator,gasket to be change on a not so stressed engine and yet it still overheats.

Yes probably cos the original problem was not fixed, over heating problem is basically straight 4ward.
1 fan
2 fluid shortage (leak)
3 water pump
4 trapped air
5 Temp sensor
6 radiator(blockage)

"Tired" engine tired. Ecu tired. Is that the new vocabulary from kazeems . I heard brain box tired from a car user today

You have an hidden leak .Find it and the overheating will go away .Leak will introduce air into that cooling system , thereby reduce the coolant boiling point and the coolant will boil prematurely.

Overheating can be caused by so many factors. In my opinion, it can sometimes be difficult to diagnose.

In addition to points mentioned by erico2k2, some factors to also consider include:
- clogged radiator fins
- fans blowing in wrong direction
- clogged exhaust system
- collapsing water hose
- bad thermostat

You may still have a head gasket leak if the job wasn't properly done. A pressure test on the cooling system will help with that.
