Will help it from over heating if he gets caught in traffic before he fixes the problem.

ive ordered a fan switch I made the mistake of putting radseal in the cooling system when I changed the timing belt as I thought I had a coolant leak so my water pump squeaks constant and it started to over heat my guess the sensor has clogged up and not getting a correct temp reading

I would also inspect the pump too just incase the impeller has failed.
