Install new thermostat and check operation of cooling fans.

Overheating issues are tricky because it can be only 1 thing among many...
- Check the radiator fan itself;
- Replace the coolant if its old;
- Check/Replace thermostat and water pump;
- Rare to happen, but maybe some tubes/air filter might be clogged/dirty?
- Or to make it easier, if possible, scan any error codes first and see if they detect something wrong.
Most importantly, take it to a mechanic and make sure it doesn't overheat during the diagnosis! A small mistake can cause permanent damage.
how do dirty air filters cause overheating exactly?
