what makes u think that? had one done few years back 3.6 v8 same lr specialist, still going today was a complete rebuild, also got the same years warranty with it and not worried about it blowing up at all, just wondering if anyone is doing anything different on the breaking in
Totally different engines.
well yes i know that, guessing ur talking about the crank issues with the 3.0 tdv6 funnily enuff it was turbo failure that took the 3.6 and 3.0 out
yeah got that also dpf was removed a long while back egrs blanked, turbo drain pipe updated and remapped, 1000 mile service will be next week so hopefully my local lr specialist will know what there doing…… hopefully
Actually, they're not - both were developed at the same time with a common architecture as part of the Gemini JDPA between Ford & PSA, they were further refined into the 3.0l TDV6 & the 4.4 TDV8 variants.
Somehow I doubt any remappers have the same know-how and skills as an entire powertrain development and test department - or the static & dynamic testbeds to confirm their changes... Not withstanding any emissions changes, it can put a lot of stress on the bottom end of any engine, let alone one with known issues. Good luck!yeah got that also dpf was removed a long while back egrs blanked, turbo drain pipe updated and remapped, 1000 mile service will be next week so hopefully my local lr specialist will know what there doing…… hopefully
was stage 1 eco map
ouch, did you know by getting rid of the egr you in fact make the engine temps higher as the exhaust gas helps to reduce emissions but helps to cool down the intake as there is less oxygen, i used to think it was best to get rid of the egr. but when i read up on it reducing combustion temps i see its not worth removing, and not only that it can cause further issues down the track as its not running as it was designed to. i think you alos increase emissions output with no egr as now it runs hotter you dont want a diesel to have very hot combustion it leads to a whole host of issues. you best bet is dont own a vehicle with egr.yeah got that also dpf was removed a long while back egrs blanked, turbo drain pipe updated and remapped, 1000 mile service will be next week so hopefully my local lr specialist will know what there doing…… hopefully
