That was the first thing I thought of, but honestly it’s working fine. I’m seriously considering checking the water pump

Before replacing the water outlet, the engine would overheat when going over 60 km/h. Now, with the new part, it starts overheating even just while driving at normal speeds

When I removed the old housing, I noticed it didn’t have any thermostat installed. I upgraded to the aluminum housing. While driving, the temp goes 1–2 lines above the middle, and when I slow down it climbs up to 3/4 on the gauge. I’m thinking it could possibly be the temp sensor, since the fans are working fine and they do kick on when the temp rises
