Seat Formentor Overheating Issue

Need some help! My 2022 Seat Formentor with a gasoline engine is giving me grief. The engine's overheating, check engine light's on. Suspect it's the radiator fan. Maybe a defective fan blade? Any ideas?

I own a Formentor as well and think I may have had a similar experience. Was there any strange fan noise beforehand, like a whirring sound, and was the car overheating frequently? Could it also be the thermal switch?

Fan noise, yeah, I think I noticed something like that a while back, but didn't pay it much attention. Where is the thermal switch located? Is it easy to check?

If there was fan noise and the car overheating, it does sound like the same issue I had. I'm no expert, but it's probably best to get it checked by a workshop. Car overheating is never good.

Cheers for the advice! Turns out it was the speed sensor. New one fitted, bill came to about 250€. Car's running cool as a cucumber now.
