Why does my Suzuki Khyber heat up frequently, especially in traffic?

My Khyber’s temperature often rises when I’m stuck in traffic o r driving on hot days. I’ve already changed the radiator cap and filled coolant, but it still overheats after 15–20 minutes in idle o r slow traffic. Some mechanics say the radiator might be choked, while others blame the thermostat o r fan motor. I’m unsure what the actual issue is. What parts should I inspect first to solve this overheating problem?

Frequent overheating in Suzuki Khyber is usually caused by a choked radiator, faulty fan motor, o r a non-functioning thermostat valve. In city traffic, if the radiator fan isn’t switching on properly, the engine will heat up fast. Also, old o r rusted radiators common in Khybers can block coolant flow. First, check if the fan turns on automatically when the temperature rises. Then flush the radiator and inspect the thermostat valve and water body. If the problem continues, consider replacing the radiator.
