Xantia II running hot

Hello guys,

My citroen xantia 98 reg is running hot, around 90 to 100 c° while driving..

I have changed the coolant temp sensor, the tstat & bled the cooling system so far..

Anybody have any ideas?

Are the radiator fans actually running?

Conceivably, could be the water pump impellor spinning on the shaft... That'd give you reduced coolant flow and hence higher coolant temperatures. Difficult to check without removing it though, so as they're not expensive it may be time for some swapagnostics.

Yup, the fan kicks in

Right I see, have a full t belt kit there ready for it, hasn't been changed for a long time

If its done a high mileage could be the radiator is clogged.

Or following Peter's theme, could be rubbish caught between the air con condenser and the radiator which would reduce the air flow.
