Problems with overheating and low coolant level in a diesel Seat Altea XL

Hi, I have a problem with my diesel Seat Altea XL. The car gets too hot and the coolant level is low. I think it might have something to do with the radiator shutter. Do any of you have experience with this? How did you get the problem fixed in the workshop? I'm looking forward to your tips and experiences. Thanks in advance!

Hi, I had a similar problem with my Seat Leon, but two years older. I'm not an automotive expert, but I know a bit about it. I had it fixed at my garage and they found that the connector on the sensor was faulty. It cost 222 euros to fix it. Could you give more details about your car? Maybe then I can help better.

Hey, thanks for the answer. My Altea has ga kilometers on it and the last service was only recently. I'm at a loss because it's actually a reliable car. Maybe you're right and it's a sensor problem. I will have it checked at the garage and hopefully it won't be too expensive. Thanks for your help!

Hey, no problem, always happy to help! Yes, that really sounds like it could be a problem with the sensor. I also noticed recently that the radiator shutter on my Leon wasn't working properly, but after changing the sensor everything is now working perfectly. Maybe it's the same story with your Altea. In any case, have it checked at the garage! I hope it won't be too expensive. Keep us up to date. All the best!
