Hello
My name is Paulo, I am from Portugal and recently bought a Freelander TD4 from year 2000.
When I travel with more speed sometimes the car loses power for a few seconds then back to normal. Usually happens at around 120km/h in fifth gear.
There is a error recorded P1470 (variable intake balance valve) and P0100 (caliber air flow)
The mechanic told me yesterday there was a breathing tube (A) from a vacuum box connected to a transmission breather (B)...that's very wrong correct?
I will go to the mechanic today, what would you advise me to do?
Test the car without with this tube (1) disconnected?
The "vacuum box" should be repaired or cleaned because the the tube was connected to the transmission breather?
I do not know if I understand, can I test the MAF by simply turn it off or unplugging any tube?
Thanks,
Paulo
Hello thank you very much for these forums as illustrative.
my name is fran and a month to buy me a freelander Td4 and had the same problem of lack of power and great highway speeds and RPM ago
I have reviewed the solenoid and a pressure gauge is fine, I checked the turbo actuator using a vacuum pump and is well though with little tour of their lack of use because it always worked in a position
the fault was in the elimination of vacuum hose and when I dropped and picked ambient air releasing the power vacuum the problem is resolved
a gauge I checked the solenoid acts above 3000 rpm and releasing vacuum acting on the turbocharger
follow the hose release I've come to the rigid tube with a spiral that is the relief of the transmission that goes free
finding was doing vacuum to IDR
not freeing it right through an air filter .......
Hi Guys
Yet another Freelander with lack of power question. A two weeks ago my 03 plate ems light came on, on the dash board and then at roughly 2750 rpm the fuel cut off to engine. So took the car to local indie Landy Garage to get diagnostics run came back as low fuel pressure garage had the car 3 days and couldn't find a fuel pressure problem. Found a small cut in the intercooler pipe which was replaced still same problem. Garage ordered a pressure sensor which was replaced and turbo solenoid at my request after reading about other cars but the problem is still there and has gotten worse now no power from around 1500rpm garage confused and so am I. Am I going to get car back home tomorrow and start one at a time removing tubes and hoses from MAF and turbo solenoid, therefore my questions are which one first and what should happen when tube pipe is removed I am used to A series engines Please can you help I have no hair to pull out lol
Well my problem is very similar. If I go up any steep hill the amber warning light comes on and engine feels sluggish thereafter. However come the next morning the warning light has disappeared. However this problem is not just occuring on hills o.k. If I put my foot down too hard to get up any incline (even on a motorway) then the warning light again appears. I spend a lot of time on motorways so I now gently drive the car along while it engages the gears naturally and by the time I get up to 70 all is good with the world. However if I hit a incline its a case of easing off on the pedal until hitting the flat again. In my case its definitely only occuring when I overwork the engine and what I do if going up hills now is choose manual gears ! I can fly up the hill nicely now and no warning light ! Before anyone asks I have had a diagnostic test that set me back a wad only for no problem to be found ! So I am still none the wiser.... though this lack of power on occasions is a pain... If anyone does have an idea of likely cause I am all ears..
I should add that the car is a real mover from traffic lights. Impressive acceleration for a large vehicle (but the warning light does not come on when hitting the pedal hard from a standing start on the flat ok)
Cheers
John p.s. My motor is a 05 Sports version with 70k on the clock
Sounds like the low pressure fuel pump in the offside rear wheel arch is on its way out. Replace the filter at the same time. Only buy an OEM pump. The cheap ones are just that and don't last.
Looks like the right ones from the description. I personally wouldn't buy them, but that is a personal thing.
I bought a genuine one which cost double that and my genuine LR fuel filter cost around £22.
I don't need a ramp to get to mine as my Freelander is about 70mm higher than normal. But you may need to.

Hi john - where are you located?
And what diagnostic to did they use?
Low pressure pump failing generally doesn't set a fault code on a Td4 but with the right kit you can display the readings the ecu is seeing for fuel pressure, boost pressure etc
It's a sticky.........
