Seat Exeo Overheating Issue

I'm having some trouble with my 2012 Seat Exeo, gasoline engine. The engine seems to be overheating, especially in traffic. I've noticed the electric fan isn't always running when it should be. I suspect it might be a faulty cable or plug connection to the fan's electric motor, affecting the engine cooling. Has anyone else experienced vehicle overheating on their Exeo?

Sounds familiar. I had a similar problem with my Exeo. Is the electric fan not kicking in at all, or is it intermittent? Could be a simple fix.

Intermittent to be honest. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. When it doesn't, the engine temperature rises pretty quickly. What was the actual issue with yours, if you don't mind me asking?

Yep, mine was doing the same thing. Intermittent fan operation leading to vehicle overheating. Turned out to be a corroded connector. I'd suggest getting it checked out by a professional. They'll be able to test the electric fan motor and wiring properly.

Took it to a local garage. It was a dodgy connection to the electric fan. 95€ later and the cooling system is back to normal. Thanks for the advice!
