Is it getting red hot at the exhaust manifold? Or at the exhaust tip?

Hi , your engine has two sensors relating to coolant temprature , one is the ECT located just under the coil pack and it sends your temp signal to the ECU , the other is the sensor that sends the temp reading to the dash , and it is located just above the alternator on the intake manifold . hope this helps a bit. Kind regards; Higgins

its probably the temperature sensor in the radiator faulty and not giving the signal to your fan, have to replace it

Maybe the exhaust is plugged or the timing belt jumped a notch. To test the exhaust, unscrew the upstream O2 sensor. It should rev better if the exhaust is clogged. If no difference, then maybe the throttle position sensor isn't working. I guess the first thing you should do is plug in an OBDII tester to see if there is any codes. (not sure on european models) Possibly bad gas or diesel in the tank?

Check spark plug wires http://www.ehow.com/how_2215885_check-cars-spark-plug-wires.html

get your timing done

Have a coolant pressure test to find the leak. probably a burst hose or split bottom radiator tank

did you engine flush the engine before changing the pump. if the old pump broke then it may be the broken part still in there.
