Hi. I am from South Africa and joined the forum with the hope that someone can give some advice.
I have been struggling for months to fix a gremlin on the wife's Freelander TD4. When the engine is cool, it pulls well and drives like a dream but as soon as it seems to reach normal operating temperature (temperature gage in the middle), the car seems to loose power, especially on up hills.
I have also noticed that on a cool day the car will pull like it should with no problems. The problem only seems to be there on warmer days when the car is at operating temperature.
I took it to a local Landy specialist who replaced the boost solenoid. For about a week or so it seemed fine but then today the problem appeared again. Given that for the week it was fine, we had cooler rainy conditions as well. When it is down on power, the car still starts fine and idles fine. I just does not want to pull and it has to rev very high to get somewhere.
The EGR valve has been blocked off. I have also checked the MAF sensor, injectors ect. I am not sure what it could be. No error codes either.
Any advice?
