VX overheating slightly

[Maxseverity]

anyone got any ideas as to why my V6 VX would heat an extra ten degrees to what it normally should be? when idling the fan never used to come on, now it takes a minute and its pumping. no radiator leaks so that rules that out.

Also i think i've noticed a slight decrease in performance but that might just be summer coming along.

any ideas?
