I bought 2022 Defender Max HD10 Limited brand new. It only has 58 hours on it but am experiencing overheating issues. It has overheated once to the point of putting the machine into de-rate. Climbing grades the fans will turn on at 205* but the digital gauge shows the temp continuing to climb. It is still on warranty but there is a long wait at the local dealership for service. Haven’t driven it in over a month. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks! Edited October 31, 2022 by Bax Listed twice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I cracked the bleed screws and fluid came out. Tried to find the proper bleeding procedure on the inter web with no luck. Thanks for taking the time to help Steve!
