Have you tried reading live data to see what the coolant temperature is?

Looks like more of an electrical fault. Repair by changing everything until the fault goes away shows a lack of diagnostic skils. Not unusual thes days .

Remove the engine control module multi pin connector blocks and check for any water ingress/ corrosion.

If this car is fitted with a 2 speed cooling radiator fan , make sure it works on both speeds .

Only with suitable diagnostic kit that can activate various functions through the engine Ecu .

Only with suitable diagnostic kit that can activate various functions through the engine Ecu .

Or let it tickover for a considerable time with the bonnet closed and the A/C switched on?

The fan is working, as you say , but if it’s a 2 speed type , you don’t really know which speed is operating. Can you post up the engine type fitted and it’s code designation? It’s in the Vin number .

Looks like we have a 2.0 petrol motor . This has a multi function control module for the cooling fan speeds activated from the engine Ecu . Can’t see any other way of testing other than via the diagnostic system .

Sensors don’t fail with this regularity. What’s the condition of the connector attached to it ? Pins probably need tightening or if they are corroded , new plug needed .

Faulty temperature sensor. Common fail part on the 307. If its still happening then check the wiring.
