: I just replaced the radiator,water pump and thermostate. There are no leaks and everything seems to operating. Now the car over heats. There was no over heating problems prior to the parts replacement. Any ideas as to what might be wrong.

you need to bleed the system again. there is a plastic screw on top of the radiator. unscrew it(while system is cold) and top off the system again. also try to park the car on a hill or at least raise the front end up a few inches. just try to make the top of the radiator the highest point of the cooling system. this will make it easier to get all the air pockets out
