Skoda Citigo Overheating Problem

I had a similar issue with my Citigo some time ago. The engine was also overheating, especially in slow traffic. It turned out to be related to the radiator fan. Have you checked if the fan motor is actually running when the engine temperature rises? It could be a faulty electric motor, or even something simpler like the fan clutch. It's worth investigating before assuming the worst.

Thanks for your input! When you say 'radiator fan', are you referring to the electric fan that's supposed to kick in when the engine gets hot? And how did you diagnose the problem on your vehicle?

Yes, I meant the electric fan. In my case, the electric motor was failing intermittently. Sometimes it would work, sometimes not, which caused the vehicle overheating. I'd recommend getting it checked by a professional. They can properly diagnose the issue and check the wiring and the fan motor itself. It's better to be safe than sorry when it comes to overheating.

Just to let you know, I took my Citigo to a workshop. They confirmed it was indeed a faulty connection to the fan motor. They repaired the wiring, and the total cost was 95€. Now the overheating issue is resolved. Thanks a lot for pointing me in the right direction!
