Another update. Sadly no good news as yet. Have taken the car to a garage recommended by a friend. Spent an hour or so with the mechanic who checked continuity within the harness Signal from the ECU to actuator. He said that the actuator doesn't seem to be actuating - including the old one...

New results... Nodge, you were right on the EGR blanking issue. I don't think the turbo vanes are damaged as it was recently rebuilt - I do wonder if the actuator arm is getting full motion, however, this turbo passed on the last test I ran so I wonder if it's a fluke? I think I know where...

I can’t believe I overlooked that. I did blank the EGR a while back. Will have to remove it and try the calibration again. Will report back! Cheers

For anyone that doesn't want to download the attached PDF in my previous post... IDLE SPEED TEST RESULT EGR fault please investigate before replacing any components or re-run the application. Possible causes : 1. Mechanical partial or fully stuck open 2. Mechanical partial or fully...

Hi Nodge, Finally got SDD up and running. Tried doing the air path calibration but it failed on the EGR and a few other points to note. I've attached the PDF of the results if you would be kind enough to help me decipher what my next course of action should be. Cheers

Good point Nodge. I’ve just recently installed SDD and was looking through your thread on it - I notice you mentioned that you recalibrated the air sensors using SDD. Do you happen to have a run through? Currently having problems with SDD not picking u my mongoose clone but I think it’s a...

Update for anyone that finds this after encountering the same issue with their Freelander. Still not resolved. To date, I've done the following: 1. All boost hoses replaced 2. Cleaned MAF and MAP sensors 3. Turbo rebuild 4. Intercooler replaced I'm at a loss for where to go next. I'm...

I too was looking for the sticker mentioned in this thread and checked everywhere. Finally found it Posting pictures as I dont' see if OP got to the bottom of it. Hopefully it'll help anyone who stumbled on this thread on Google like I did. Colour code is on the bottom of that sticker...

Hi again. Thought I'd give an update on the car. Took it back with regards to the poor idle. They said that it's likely the exhaust output of the turbo - they didn't have a replacement gasket to add on after rebuilding the turbo (which I find hard to believe as the turbo isn't an LR part) One...

What would be the easiest way to check? I'm assuming spraying water on it isn't a good idea?

Thanks. The crank isn't missing on mine, they just removed the actuator and put a screw in the vacuum line. I ended up reinstalling it again as a broken part is better than just having random hoses flapping around the engine bay. They told me they had tried new sensors and that didn't fix the...

Actually, they did say they replaced the MAF and MAP sensors or they said they tried new ones, not sure if they kept them in or went back with old ones. Good shout though, I'll go back to them and ask the question in the morning. I have a few more videos from just now. It sounds like there's...

I second that. The engine bay was a bit of a bombsite in terms of disconnected hoses etc. I've added a video of the engine at idle, which I hope is an easy solution. Another video of the car while deriving, I appreciate the wind noise but you can faintly hear quite a bit of air escaping...

Thanks for the clarification. I don't know what they've done to the car but now it idles ROUGH. Car door vibrates when open level of rough idle. Has even less power than it did when the codes were cleared before it went in - I think there's a bigger leak somewhere now as it's very noticeable...

Updated again. Just picked the car up, the guys there were pretty decent and didn't charge me labour. They've rebuilt the turbo, replaced the actuator, taken off the DPF, have said the EGR valve is clean. They still can't get to the bottom of it. I did ask if he checked the intercooler for...

Update for anyone interested. Definitely feel scammed right now. Told it was a turbo cassette that needed replaced. They sent off the turbo do be rebuilt. Now, after they've installed the rebuilt turbo, they're telling me that there's something wrong with the "electrics" and that the last...

Nothing yet. Went to the garage as they're not very good at calling with updates. Was told the turbo has been sent off for repair and I could possibly have the car back by Monday but no guarantee. I'll give an update as soon as I find out either way if it fixed the issue

Still keeping my fingers crossed. I've replaced all of my turbo hoses and still have the same issue. Was hoping I could repair the issue myself as it seemed to be a straight forward fix. With that fix not working, I'm wondering if it's a split intercooler or worse if the turbo has chucked it...

I should be hearing back from my garage tomorrow as well. I'll keep my fingers crossed for the both of us. I've replaced all of my charged air hoses and cleaned the MAP and MAF sensors. Ran out of ideas and took it to the garage who initially said it was the turbo and they wanted to order the...

Hi mate. Did you get to the bottom of the P0299 code? I'm having the same issue and am chasing my tail at the minute with it. It's currently in the garage awaiting a turbo rebuild but they're holding off for now so they can review the car one more time.
