Hello. It is possible that your heater core is clogged, which may cause a vehicle to overheat. It is also possible that after having other components replaced, there could be air trapped in the cooling system. This may cause a vehicle to overheat as well. It may also be necessary to have the heating system bled. Have a certified technician, like one from YourMechanic, come and complete an inspection to diagnose why your car is overheating.
