Do you have a picture of the part and a location diagram for it ? Thanks! Have cancelled the trip for today - we're nervous about it . I'm 50 today but its not worth risking the car just to fan my vanity.
Thanks! I still have the fan malfunction code though - P0480 - they will never come on till that is fixed... Is it normal for the oil temp to reach 123 degrees c ? Cheers!I wouldn't do that.
You're only 50 once, I know, I've had that one.
Right in the beginning of this thread, was it the inlet template that was high, and not the coolant?
That would explain why the fans aren't running, as they're not needed for high intake temperatures.
I'll look out an inlet temperature sensor picture.
P0480 is a red herring, as in this installation. I've loonked into this issue, determining that the fan controller module isn't in data communication with the ECM, so it can't know there's actually a problem with it. The ECM simply flags a code, because it's not getting fan module data, which of course it can't, as the fan module used it a dumb module, simply responding to a PWM signal from the ECM.
The oil temp does go up as the engine is used then goes down when off. This is still a default thing ? Isn't there a sensor in the top head gasket? So its not for oil ?
I'm not that up on the later FL1 1.8, the early 1.8 didn't have an oil temperature sensor.
Ok - cheers! When i replaces the spark plugs i saw and cleaned a sensor on the front top left if facing the engine - thought it was the oil - taking it off to clean it, you could see down in..... its a puzzle aright!
Ha ha ha ! Oops !That's the cam position sensor.
Hi again Nodge ! Advice needed and appreciated! Freelander 1 1.8L k-series Facelift 2005. Starts up with start gas sprayed in air intake then dies - otherwise turns over but won't start! New sparks last summer. Full power in battery.That's the cam position sensor.
Didn't replace the coils. Can hear whirring in the back but its from the charcoal/gas petrol cylinder under the right back wheel - gonna have help to listen to fuel pump tonight - shouldn't i get a code or engine light for fuel pump though ? There is no fuse anywhere to check right ? Regards, arnodafe72
Ok - thanks man ! Can the inertia switch only be pressed when the key is 'on' or first position ? Mine is very hard and doesn't seem to move there's no reason why it should be tripped but it is solid and worth investigating....
Ok - so it should be down then, thanks !
Think if there was a 2% snowscooter oil mix in the 2L i added to the 40L petrol in the tank that it could blockbthe fuel lines or injectors ?
Oil is soluble in petrol, so unlikely to cause a blockage, unless it's gone off and begun to gell. Even then it would be stopped by the strainer or filter.
Couldn't get to the car last night after work - going tonight hopefully, but n the morning i will definitely get to it. Just thought i would mention it as snowscooter oil might be thicker....its -20C here again so i need to warm the engine aswell before i begin. Is it worth siphoning out the petrol and putting new fresh petrol in ?
