Temperature gauge and fan

Hi im having problems with my citreon picasso xsara 1.6 petrol no a/c. when i start the car it goes to overheating on the gauge with a message on dash saying stop. also fan cuts in straight away i have installed new rad,cooling fan and temperature sensor,but still the same ive been reading on other forums regarding this and some people have stated that it cant be a relay as it goes straight through ecu but mine has got a relay switch built into the fan housing, so im abit confused and concerned please if you can help out at all it will be much appreciated.

i would look at the thermostat as well.

did you overheat this prior to this repair?? i would get a leak down test to verify the head gasket is ok.

Hi roy thanks for getting back to me. i had a leak in rad that i guess had something to do with it and when i checked the water bottle it was empty so may well of overheated i have taken it to a couple of garages and they have said could be relay could be sensor or wireing fault but they are abit reluctant to give me more info.
