As the temperature went down in the North East, I noticed that I could hear a really loud noise accompanied by a strong vibration.
Being aware that the LR4 doesn't come fitted witha Diesel engine I was pretty surprised.
A few seconds later, I started thinking that it might be the air compressor for the suspension. Stepped out of the car and got closer to it to listen.
It was indeed the compressor making this very particular sound.
I drove to Quebec where the temperatures reached record lows (-30F before windchill) and the sound and vibration was very present any time the compressor worked. I did check the faults with the IIDTool but nothing regarding the BCM. Patrick from Gap Diagnostic sat in my truck and was pretty surprised by the sound as well.
As I came back to Boston, the sound disapeared because the temperature was in the high 40s. But as soon as we were hit by the artic cold I drove to the dealership so they could get a good listen to it.
The mechanic heard right away and joked that he couldn't blame it on the bigger tires. They set me up with an appointment to replace the compressor which should be taken care off in the next couple days.
In the meantime I drive a loaner LR3 which is a world apart from the LR4.
Are there anything I should double check when I get my truck back?
