Recently we have seen a few very young Pajeros having the transmission overheating sign coming up, even from light duty off-roading in this time of year, which sounds suspicious as I have noticed “older” pajeros of this generation do not seem to have this issue.
The aim of this topic is to collect users who are in the same situation, what you have done so far, and to see if we need to bring this up with the main UAE Distributor.
The first two people who I am tagging is @Tamas Hoffmann and @bassel el rafei , who both seem to face this issue on a Pajero with less than 30,000kms. Before going into the discussion if a transmission cooling fan would help i suggest to first start with the basics:
1) Pajero model (3.5 or 3.8)
2) KMs done so far
3) Has the transmission oil already been replaced ? If so when ?
4) Do you drive in tiptronic or normal “D” ?
5) Tyre pressure when off-roading?
@asifk from what i remember you have faced the same issues. Any update ?
