I had this problem to matey!
Check (this is what I did) the water pump for any leaks and check to see if the thermostat is working proberly. check that the radiator cap is working proberly to, if the seal has gone your coolant will leak via steam so check your coolant level too.
In the end for me it tured out to be the circuit board on the dash had burnt out so is was constanty reading boiling point lol.
Hope thats any help?
