Hot-running Citroen Ccrosser: experience and suggested solutions wanted

Coolant level low

Overheating

Hey guys, I urgently need to get something off my chest. My Citroen Ccrosser, built in 2009, gasoline engine, with a proud 179070 kilometers on the clock is spinning around. It gets too hot, the coolant level is constantly low. I think the problem has something to do with the radiator shutter. I first tried to sort it out with my last mechanic, but I really fell flat on my face and wasn't satisfied. Have you ever had similar problems? How did your mechanic solve it? I'm grateful for any advice and your experiences! Thanks in advance. Best regards!

Hi, I had a similar problem with my 2012 Citroen Berlingo. In my case, it was actually the wiring harness to the sensor that was defective and corroded, and because it wasn't working properly, my car displayed incorrect temperatures and kept the coolant level constantly low. At the garage, they replaced the faulty wiring harness, cleaned everything and removed corroded parts. It wasn't a "small job" as it took a bit of time, but it was definitely manageable and got my car back in good shape. So my recommendation is that you go to a trustworthy garage and address the problem. It could well be something similar to what I had. Good luck with it! Regards.

Moin Moin, thanks for your quick reply. Sounds like my problem indeed! I guess I'll take your advice and visit another garage. Do you happen to remember how much the whole thing cost you? And did any other problems occur after the repair? Thanks again for your help! Greetings!

Hey, you're welcome! It cost me €155 to do it. Of course, it wasn't exactly a bargain, but since then the car has been running like clockwork again! And you said it, after the repair the radiator blind stopped being so bitchy - the functional restriction was fixed - and bang, issue solved. Since then, no further problems have arisen with the car. If it's similar for you, I think it's a reasonable price to pay to finally get rid of this annoying problem! Greetings and good luck!

Thank you! The cost does seem worth it considering the problem will finally be solved. I think I'll take your recommendation and go for repairs. Hopefully there won't be any more problems with my Ccrosser. Your help was really great, thanks again! Bye and take care!
