Overheating Volvo 240 DL Wagon 1996

Hey there,

After many trips to the mechanic my volvo is continuing to "overheat" or run hot. I have had a new radiator, two new thermostats, water pump, the sending unit, two different fan clutches, and rewired the gauge. Is there something that the mechanics aren't thinking of that could be causing the problem. There really seems to be no rhyme or reason to the problem. Sometimes it happens when I am in traffic, sometimes at high speeds, sometimes low. Sometimes if I engage the heater it cools down, sometimes it doesn't. It does it in hot weather and cool. I'm about at my wits end with this. I'm wondering if there could be a link to the air conditioning system (which incidentally does not work). Or perhaps it needs further electrical work, more rewiring. Any suggestions.
Thank you, Kathleen
