Hi there. I have a freelander2, 2011 model, while climbing a steep hill (normal road) engine overheats very quickly without any warning and the coolant spills over fully. I Have changed the sensor of the FAN UNIT, still the problem persists. Request for some help in this area to solve the problem.

What engine?
The fan doesn't have a dedicated sensor. The ECM controls the fans, based on engine temperature and current load. Also the fans come on if the AC is active.
Have you checked the fuse for the fans? Hyundai Ioniq 5 Ultimate. The family car.
2009 Rimini Red SE TD4. Gone.
2006 Tonga Green i6 HSE. Gone.
Audi A5 convertible, my daily driver.
1972 Hillman Avenger GT, the project.

Are the fans working? Jules
