Process of elimination. These are things that have caused 986 overheating in the past. Check off the list and see what you find:

* Totally clogged airflow between the rads and A/C condensers.
* Air bubble in the coolant causing intermittent overheating.
* T-stat stuck closed.
* Water pump impeller chunks in the head coolant passages.
* Reversed send/return coolant lines after changing the WP.
* WP impeller chunks blocking radiator passages.
* Failed rad fans

Good luck!
