already done. I only have it on the air setting at the moment. When I put the map on it smokes even more. Probably compounding the underlying problem.
just been speaking to Rover Ron, great bloke and very helpful. He suggested that it is not a fuel issue i.e over fueling but an air issue i.e lack of air to burn the fuel. He suggested that I check the turbo boost actuator wires(where is this) and check the turbo boost pressure. Any idea how to do this and where on the engine am i looking?
Cheers.
Hi Dan,
cheers for the offer, I might just take you up on that as I am only 1/2 hour from you. Thanks for letting me know where the actuator is, I will have a poke around tomorrow. This problem is really annoying me now, I cannot believe that a Landrover specialist cannot find the issue.
There is a turbo hose off the turbo too, has that been checked for splits or collapse internally? You can see the actuator rod from drivers side wheel arch. Put wheels in full left lock look through a rear side of the arch with a torch. You will see the solenoid valve then the top of the rod just above that. Get someone to start the car and it should move slightly. Then get them to blip the throttle and the rod should move. They only move circa 10mm travel when working properly.
Your truck looks smart by the way.
did you install the fuel pressure sensor ???
maybe you should check the boost pressure - if you are short of air this will show it up - any simple OBD ready should let you monitor boost pressure.
you will have to do it on the road though - full right foot in 2nd or 3rd should give max boost
forget now what is max boost pressure but somebody here will know or maybe its in RAVE ????
