3 The plastic pipe were go the radiator cap and thermostat
4-Thermoswicht
5- The high & Low speed fan module.
6- Fan
7- Piston compression ok (175 in the four)

Have you tried to flush the radiator? Also, check the radiator hoses to make sure they are not collapsed when it overheats.

Let me know what you find.

If everything is replaced, then the last thing I can think of is timing. Even though it is controled by the computer, a crank or cam sensor could cause a timing problem.
