Why is our Peugeot 406 overheating?
We have a 1999 Peugeot 406 that seems to get hot very quickly, going from 70 to 90 to 100 on the temperature dial. Also the engine, when hot, runs erratically. Can you help?

A blockage, the thermostat seized shut or the temp sensor sender is not working and employing the fan.
