    You might have a stuck thermostat. Check the hoses coming into and going out of your radiator, the ones going in should be hot and the ones coming out should be cooler...

    Or a non working waterpump also the fan ecu/fan switch could be faulty

    I had my thermo fans stop working, turned out the connector to the fans had just vibrated loose and so they simply werent plugged in. check simple things like that first

    Possible that the radiator could be partially blocked as well. Sort out the thermo fan situation and go from there
