Have you checked the radiator to make sure it's not full of trash? C5's are bottom breathers and can suck up all kinds of junk into the condenser/radiator. There are several threads on here that show various methods to clean the radiator.
Good luck!

Sounds like your fans aren't coming on. Could be as simple as replacing a relay. See this thread for a discussion on how they work.

This is right from the tech manual.
To the op
Do a search on overheating or bleed the air from teh heads. Search my username if you can't find it.
