Hi brothers,
I have a Defender 300Tdi, normally runs fine but lately it's overheating during Colombo traffic, especially when stuck in one place for long. Once I hit open road it's okay.
I checked coolant, looks full. No leak also.
Anyone faced this? What should I check? Is it radiator or fan clutch or something?
Let me know if you've sorted this before.
Machan yes, this is a very common issue with 300Tdi Defenders, especially in our Lankan hot traffic. I had the same issue in my 110
Most of the time, the fan clutch gets weak with age. When the engine heats up, it doesn't spin fast enough. I replaced mine with a Behr OEM clutch fan, problem solved.
