Default s2k overheating

So this problem start happening like one week ago. I'll have 3 bars (ap1) on the temp then sometimes it drops to 2 bars. And sometimes it goes to 5 bars and i even seen it all 6 bars. My s2k keep overheating even after i bleed the system...

i'm using it right now only to go to work since is not to far of my house...

i don't know what can cause that since the obd2 reader didn't throw any code that can tell me the problem...

any help?

check your thermostat and check if your fans are kicking on.

if you have done a clutch change prior to this happening then maybe you forgot to connect the ground wire between the firewall and the engine.

If the car really is overheating its not a good idea to keep driving it.

Connect it to a scanner and see if its really overheating or maybe a wire ground problem like mentioned above.

I always recommend this to everyone that have tried most of the common solutions, get peace of mind and a definitive answer of whether or not your head gasket needs to be replaced, pick up a block tester at Napa, it's quick and easy.
Check out some videos on YouTube if you're interested.

Have you bled your cooling system using Billman's improved bleeding method?

Does it overheat while driving or when you stop?
