Depends what you used to flush rad and hiw badly plugged up it is. Did you take rad out and flush through with hose etc the wrong way?
I think he meant normal oil in engine. Very low oil can cause overheating too.
I flushed the radiater using the 10 minutes Gunk flush product by pouring the entire bottle in the tank and run engine for 10 min then drain the system. I followed the instructions written on the bottle.
My oil level is good. I replaced it with the filter when problem started to occur.

And the engine management light started to flash more frequently, car hesitates when the engine management light come on. Could this be related to the overheating probably????

I had the same problem on mine a couple of months ago, turns out 1 of the spark plugs was breaking down, changed them and not had a problem since.
hope this works for you

I don't use the heater matrix at all. I canceled long time ago! Weather here is mostly hot in the whole year!
As for the spark plugs, you are right, they worth checking.
I'm still unable to solve the overheat problem and so much disappointed so

Now it is cutting out several times when idling and when driving. Engine management like come on while driving and I lose all power in the accelerator pedal for seconds, then it return to normal but the fan kicks!!! Many things are playing up together. Fan kicks, engine management light come on and off, fan kicks when light is on, car hesitates, poor overall performance and acceleration, also the car overheats on the high way. No one really is able to help or to advise about something.
Sounds ECU
