Hey there, Sounds familiar! I've got some experience with cars, but I'm no mechanic. I had a similar issue with my 2014 Volvo XC90. The problem turned out to be damage to the wiring harness which was a bit unexpected. Took my car to the local workshop and they got it all sorted. It set me back about 170 Euro, but the car's been running like a dream ever since. Just to be sure though, could you tell me a bit more about your vehicle? How's the mileage and when was your last service? It'd help me compare our situations better. Hope this helps a bit!

Hey, thanks a lot for your quick response! Mine is a bit on the high side regarding mileage, sitting at 141,641 KM. The last service was done quite recently, but maybe they missed something. I'll try bringing up the wiring harness with my mechanic, see if that's the piece of the puzzle. While I hope it's not as complicated, it's better to rule out all possibilities. Cheers!

Hey, No problem! With that kind of mileage, it's pretty reasonable to expect some wear and tear on your Volvo. I still think your hunch about the coolant thermostat might be correct given the overheating issue. It's also worth checking the coolant level and quality. But yes, the wiring harness could be a suspect too! It's always good to explore all possibilities. Even a simple thing like a faulty sensor can trigger the check engine light. Don't worry too much though, your mechanic should be able to diagnose the issue with a proper scan tool. Sometimes it's a trial-and-error process, so be patient. Keep us posted on how it goes. Cheers!

Hey again, That's some sound advice there. I'll make sure to cover all those bases the next time I see my mechanic — coolant thermostat, coolant level, wiring harness, and even the sensors. Nothing but thorough, right? Thank you for your guidance. It's been really helpful. I'll let you know what the final diagnosis is. Fingers crossed it's a fairly simple and affordable fix. Appreciate your help, cheers!

Hola chicos, tengo un poco de una situación con mi 2016 Volvo XC60 Hybrid. Está empezando a sobrecalentarse y la luz de check engine está encendida. Sospecho que podría haber un problema con el termostato del refrigerante, pero quería comprobar si alguno de vosotros ha experimentado algo similar o sabe qué podría estar causando el problema. Si es así, ¿cómo lo solucionó su taller? Cualquier consejo o experiencia compartida será muy apreciada.
