Seat Arona Overheating Issue

I'm experiencing a problem with my 2017 Seat Arona, gasoline engine. The engine is overheating, and I suspect the electric fan is not working correctly. I've checked the basics, but I believe the issue may be a defective cable or plug connection to the component. Has anyone encountered something similar?

I had a similar issue with my Arona, although it wasn't quite as obvious at first. Overheating can be tricky. Have you checked the fan clutch itself? Sometimes it's not the fan motor but the clutch mechanism that's failing. It's like a dimmer switch that's stuck. Is the fan running at all, or is it just running slowly?

Thanks for the reply. I'm not very familiar with the fan clutch. Where is it located, and is there a way to test it myself?

Yes, the faulty connection was exactly my problem. It's worth getting it checked professionally, as messing with the cooling system can lead to more problems. In my case, it was a relatively simple fix, but I'd still recommend a workshop to diagnose it properly. Better safe than sorry with overheating!

Thanks for the help. I took it to the workshop, and they confirmed it was a defective cable connection to the electric fan. The repair cost me 95€, and the Arona is running smoothly again.
