is CEL light on
sounds like water temp sensor,,
make sure you have bled the water system correctly as if there is a air pocked in water jacket around water temp sensor, it results in problems you describe

in the morning before you start it up check the water level, at header tank (one infront ov turbo) if its low fill it too the brim, probably keep takin water, just keep topping it up until it stops wanting more...
then start it up with the header tank cap still off, you will find it needs more water, just keep topping it up until header tank is full (with engine running), then put cap back on
