    Freelander 1 TD4 Cylinder Balance - P0263

    Hi, Before getting the code, you had certainly some issues before, like smelling exhaust or starting issue. I had a dying injector, with no code, once replaced no more issue.. Changing the dying injector will solve the problem for sure. A leak back test can be done to confirm the issue. Regards

    Freelander 1 Another VCU Fred.

    Hi, The problem with VCU is that you never know when to change it. Some says, if it gets too hot, so it 's problably knacked. Some says to do a torque test. Some says if the u joints don't last, the VCU is too stiff. If you change change the VCU, put new VCU brackets, change all the U joints...

    Sluggish starting after service!

    There is one in the wheel arch, and probably one in the fuel tank. What are the symptoms ? Also if the mechanic doesn't know that car, it will take him a lot of time to fix it. If he don't know how to fix it should not take it in the first place. He should also give you a price, for a starting...

    I had a leaking fuel pump, a bad injector and a leaking return pipe. I hope the 3 remaning will leave me alone for a long time, a new one cost 300 bucks, you also need the high presure pipe.

    Freelander 1 Cold Start up issue

    Hi, According to the last video, I definitely think that is a bad injector. That smoke certaintly smells like unburnt diesel, or bad combustion, very unpleasant to have that odor in the car. Do a fuel flow return test. For the glow plugs, if you see the indicator, and the battery drops around...

    Freelander 1 Cold Start up issue

    Hi, For the turbo : Check if there is no cracked turbo hose. For the fueling : Check first if there is any fuel leak, no cracked fuel pipe ... Then you can check the HP pump and the Low pressure pump values. You can also test the injectors return flow.

    Freelander 1 Cold Start up issue

    Hi, At least 20 minutes at 3000~3500 rpms, it will clean the egr valve and a lot of the Carbon in the engine. But no bottle will fix an injector or leaking pump. The engine should start on the button, even if it has already a lot of miles. No smoke, no fuel or unburn’t diesel smell when...

    Freelander 1 Cold Start up issue

    Hi, You can get a icarsoft reader for about 100 bucks, reads all the live data. For your issue, can be a fuel leak in the fuel line, or the hp fuel pump, or an injector. For the egr valve, never had an issue with it, no need to blank it. Does it start on the button or it takes 2 or 3 seconds ?

    Hi, So it’s pre face lift TD4 from 2001 or 2002 ? You will certainly need a 2 way connector and a 3 way. Unless you can replace the full fuel line.
