Avantime Overheating

My 2003 Renault Avantime, diesel engine, is hitting nearly 200k km and overheating like crazy. The temp gauge climbs way too fast. I'm thinking it's the electric fan, since it doesn't seem to be kicking on when it should. Anyone else had this? Could it be a dodgy connection somewhere?

Summary of the thread

A 2003 Renault Avantime with a diesel engine is experiencing overheating issues, with the temperature gauge rising rapidly. The suspected cause is the electric fan not activating, possibly due to a faulty connection. A similar issue was resolved by checking the radiator fan cable and plug connection, leading to a workshop repair that confirmed a faulty connection, resolving the overheating problem.

Overheating Avantime, eh? Sounds familiar. I had a similar issue with my Avantime. Check the radiator fan cable and plug connection. Is the fan even trying to spin, or is it completely dead?

Completely dead, as far as I can tell. No sound, no movement. Where exactly should I be looking for the cable and plug? Is it easy to get to, or am I going to be wrestling with a bunch of other stuff to reach it?

Yep, sounds like the same problem I had. Cable or plug connection is likely your culprit. Honestly, I wouldn't mess with it too much. Took it to a workshop. Quick fix.

Cheers for the advice. Workshop it is then. Just got it back – faulty connection indeed. 95€ later and she's running cool again. Thanks!
