Check the dipstick and underside of oil filler cap for signs of oil/coolant mixture(chocolate milk).If so, bad news, you have signs of a blown head gasket. Also make sure your radiator isn't plugged. You can check this by running your hand along the surface of the radiator when warm, with the engine off of course. You should not feel any cold spots. I'm assuming your cooling fan(s) are working.

hi. was just looking at your problem of (sentra) overheating and actually, i am a mechanic for nissan and have changed many head gaskets for this particular vehicle equipped with 1.8 liter motor and found that they are notorious for this problem of faulty head gasket's.Unless you did't properly bleed the system,which i doubt because you seem mechanically inclined since you already changed every other part of the system,i would't doubt that this is the problem.Anyway, by the time you read this, you have probably already found this out..Just thought i would let you know this info.Good luck!...by the way,if you haven't already changed you cam and crank sensors,do that too,before you get stuck and get the part's at the dealer!!!!-they are redesigned from the old one's!!just some advise to try to help you out!!!

It could be just air in the system, or it could be the heater matrix just by your feet, fitted central dash, check to see if the two water pipes that go into the car from the engine compartment are hot if there is only one that is then thats your problem, but if they are both cold the problem is more to do with where the water is coming from, please let me know how you get on
Testimonial: "Great tips, pointed me in the right direction."

If there is high mileage on this vehicle, it may be that the radiator is clogged or the cooling fan is not operating when the temp climbs high enough to activate the fan.
