Hi everyone. Great forum! very inforative
Wonder if you can help me with a fault i have on a friends freelander 04 td4. Ive had a search and cant really find the same problem i have.
He came to me last week, complaining of power loss and a pinking kind of noise on acceleration. I had a quick drive round the block and it appears to missfire on pull away. Other than that it seemed ok. I was a bit busy so i told him to bring it back to me after the weekend.
Well, over the weekend his wife was driving it and all of a sudden it started to smoke REAL bad. So bad she thought it was on fire and bailed out with all the kids lol!
I towed it to my workshop and discovered the turbo bearings had given up the ghost and dumped all the engine oil down the exhaust and some obviously into the inlet!
1 new turbo and complete exhaust later ( i tried to tip it out but it was absolutely jam packed and would of smoked forever!) and the smoking has stopped.
Ticking over it is fine but I still have a definate missfire on acceleration, and if i hold the revs at about 2500rpm. The miss goes on acceleration if i disconnect the maf sensor but is still there if i hold the revs up, but you can accelerate through it. No fault codes were on the ecu untill i diconnected the maf and the eml light was not illuminated. I have purchased a new maf but i appear to have been given a faulty one as it brings the maf code up when i connect it. Which the old one doesnt.
Today a new code is showing its face, intake air temp sensor which might be because it got covered in oil and i cleaned it with carb cleaner . Not too woried about this though.
Ill try the replacement maf tommorow when it turns up but does anybody have any other ideas?
I have also changed the fuel filter which looked origonal. The car has done 78000 miles.
Any tips would be very much appreciated.
Thanks guys (and gals!)
