the heat works and it's stay fine too...

The radiator fan start but it's starts to high (at 125) in red section
theres no oil in prestone, no prestone in the oil, i changed the
prestone for new one, no leaking from the engine....
Can anyone help me to find my probleme????

Start with the thermostat, go from there.

This is your problem... fix that.

Do the fans come on low when you turn on your A/C?

FYI guys, montreal is in canada which means that is 125* C not F... which is 257* F.

I'd say check the Thermostat first the water pump is a real pain to replace.
