As noted in another thread, I've still not solved my starting problem after the engine is driven for 12 km and then parked for 15 minutes. I ordered a crankshaft sensor, but the only videos I find are for diesel motors which has a very easy access. I've found images showing where it is, but...

NOT SOLVED :(: Today is a lovely warm dry day - early Spring. Drove 12 km to the quarry, parked about 15 minutes. Back in the car, no start. After quite a few tries, and several almost-caught, I got out, opened the bonnet (hood) and took off the engine cowling (the black plastic cover) and let...

SOLVED! You were right. I replaced both cam sensors, repeated the same drive where it failed each time before and it fired right up. No fault codes. Thanks!

The Fuel Rail Sensor on a petrol Freelanders 2 (3.2 I6), part number LR015294 or LR005493, is located in an easily accessible location, but the single torx bolt is almost impossible to access without unbolting and partially lifting the fuel rail. Here is what I encountered: First, I left the...

Today I removed/replaced fuel rail sensor and got a new error code P0183-00. Fuel temperature sensor A circuit input high. Once it generated a check engine light, but not each time. The fault code comes almost immediately on driving. Odds are the new sensor is bad. But I would like to actually...

I appreciate your reply, which helps me make sense of the SDD information overload. Some forums seem to suggest if one obtains a current version (or newer than v150) they are intended to be run "officially" with a subscription and not "cracked" for offline use. The VDF and SPA files now...

Thanks for that advice. I've had a look at the thread, but at 32 pages and 638 posts finding the key information is a challenge - it's information overload. I dug out an old IBM Thinkpad Z60t that runs XP Pro and amazingly it still runs. I also have a cable for my Autel MP808 that has OBD on...

The problem with "Everything..." in this thread is 32 pages of posts, 638 threads, where the person new to SDD just needs to know what to buy. Would it be possible for someone to recap the essential information for a newbie - perhaps in a new sticky that does not encourage 637 replies? Here...

I am in New Zealand, so this is of limited help, but will give you an idea. I bought a FL2 that failed WOF (MOT) on steering. Price reflected fail. I took it to a power steering specialist. That is all he does. He told me FL2 racks are perhaps the poorest quality on the market because the...

Sometimes too much information can be overwhelming. With posts like this, I read comments that say "there is plenty on the net", but that's the problem. Too much to get a simple Newbie answer - What is this stuff and what do I need to buy? I have an Autel MP808 OBD reader, but it does not let...

For a newbie (like me when it comes to the FL2), finding where sensors are located is a challenge. This thread is about finding the cam sensors. The inlet cam sensor is toward the front of the car. The exhaust cam sensor is toward the rear. Both are held by a single Torx screw that can be...

After reading forums and watching YouTubes, I first removed the Camshaft Sensors and ran voltage tests. Before reporting them, I have some questions because I got some odd results, but think it may be me, not the testing. This is a learning curve for me. The G-Wagon (W460) is analogue and the...

Looks like I'm about to learn how to test a sensor

NOT SOLVED: I thought it was the cam sensor but today the same problem re-occured. 2008 FL2, petrol 3.2, battery 13.6V (fully charged), ambient temperature 60°F/15.5°C., sunny dry day * Cold start fine * Drive 8km at 40-50 km/h * Shut off engine, immediate restart is fine * Shop for 15...
