I've had the same problem with my 2.0 CDTI auto - Stop Immediately Engine Has Overheated - had to be recovered home when it first happened as the car is un driveable. It only happens rarely, and seems to be during warmer temperatures. Funnily enough it just happened yesterday while driving at 60 mph on an A road.
It is related to the exhaust gas temperature sensor, and occurs when the car is doing a diesel particulate filter regen.
I had a new exhaust gas temperature sensor fitted last year, and it's still happened twice since then.
I bought a cheapish OBD code reader from Amazon and keep it in the car in case this happens - had to use it yesterday in fact - just plug it into the OBD socket under the dash (driver's side) and read and clear the fault codes - simple to use, when it's done, the car is back to normal and you can drive away. It'll get you home rather than having to wait for the recovery services.
