I've extracted the faulty radiator fan and on the way found out my oil filter housing wasn't plugged in.
Could it have an effect over:

the overheating would be a result of the fan not coming on
and it just snowballs from there
im just guessing that its oil temp though
but it would explain the things you're experiencing

so if this plug send oil temp info to to ECM, and mine was disconnected: the oil could overheat and not send a inform to the thermostat for example or the cooling fan...

i believe so
and if you wanted to replace the sensor
you'd have to replace the whole filter housing

and the fan works.. I'm trying now to identify the problem with my fan not reacting to things.

Oh so maybe it was unplugged on purpose. We don't get that kind of weather here
