The first thing to do is replace the thermostat and flush the cooling
system. Then start with changing the fuel filter, run a pressure check on
the fuel rail, and run some SeaFoam through the system.
Sounds like you are running lean, this will also lead to overheating and
running lean makes an engine run much hotter than running rich. Hopefully
the fuel filter and the SeaFoam to clean the fuel system will help, if not
then you need to find out if it could be the pump(that is why the fuel rail
pressure check), clogged injectors, or a sticky idle air metering valve(I
would lean to the sticky valve before bad injectors).

Subject: [DIY] Im trying out an auto question
Ive ssen them posted here so Im daring though I didnt think it was related
to Home stuff.
My car 99 Audi A6 gets hot when idle in the sun. So after a few poor
attempts at analysis by the pros, we've decided maybe its the auxillary fan.
Does anyone have any ideas? Im well aware by now of the mechanic ruse to fix
one thing after another without fixing problem. Doesnt bring a repeat
customer.
Also, in my day, few short years ago, I would rev the gas from zero, not to
speed off, but to get somewhere quickly. Well whatever runs that revving
has faltered. As I can absolutely no longer rev it. It instead putters
from stop. The first idea was axle?, then driveshaft?, and baffle? Here
again, any ideas?
