    Poor MPG, pinging, exhaust smells rich on startup, no codes

    I monitored trims over a longer period of time and generally things rarely seem to go out of normal, but I have edged in on a few things. I also watched fuel rail pressure and trims while trying to reproduce, and it seems that when I go off throttle and pressure drops it’s not recovering very...

    Brake Pad Rattle Advice

    Did you ever get anywhere with is? In 130k miles I’ve yet to find a solution that works well. Pads rattle on abrupt bumps and I think that they tend to stick and cause uneven breaking. No matter what I do my breaks start pulsing before pads are due. What I did for years was use crc brake...

    Poor MPG, pinging, exhaust smells rich on startup, no codes

    That was my thought too, switching the sensors and see if the problem moves. I noticed a light tapping sound today that doesn’t sound like the lifters ticking, its loudest from the bottom passenger side, which might be a high pressure fuel pump. I’ve replaced one about 100k miles ago, but the...

    Poor MPG, pinging, exhaust smells rich on startup, no codes

    This detail is so helpful. The engine was warm for my readings. I cleaned the MAFs on my long trip when I noticed mileage was bad. Never had an early fuel stop issue while filling. The evap system definitely overflowed when the purge valve was bad, I’ve put about 1500 miles on the new valve...

    Poor MPG, pinging, exhaust smells rich on startup, no codes

    Thanks for the reply’s. Still no codes. I captured fuel trims at idle (first image). And at 2k rpms (second image) I’m not sure what to look for but I expected bank 1 and 2 to more closely mapped on the chart and think this means one bank is running more rich than the other

    Poor MPG, pinging, exhaust smells rich on startup, no codes

    2013 LR4 5.0 169k miles Pinging on light acceleration especially under a load like going up a hill. I did a 5 hr highway drive and got about 14mpg, I’m used to 17+. Recently replaced the evap valve because I was getting a fuel smell on hot days when at idle also, that seems to be gone but no...

    Any good aftermarket valve covers?

    Did you end up going the RTV route or find another route other than OEM. I’ve got about 30k miles on a new seal, where I believe I did everything right. Noticed it was weeping around 10k in, retorqued and hoped. Now I’m smelling that it’s dripping on the manifold. I had a rough time with the...

    Lube Guard Instant Shudder fix - works….RPM fluctuation and trans shudder gone

    This is great to know, I was finding mixed opinions and didn’t want to risk it.

    2013 AC not cold - Refrigerant pressure good - Not intermittant

    I took over the LR4 as my daily and leaned quickly it’s a blend door issue, still have not resolved but had to leave heat on high all the time if I wanted guaranteed heat this winter. Now that I'm using it daily I can hear the doors getting unstuck and notice how inconsistent it use side to...

    Front drivetrain slop/slack and vibration

    I’m trying to track down the source of what I perceive to be drivetrain slop or slack and a slight vibration in the front. 2013 LR4 152k miles Every once in a while if I accelerate from a stop I feel a mild clunk and it feels like the drivetrain catching up the rotation of the wheels to me, on...

    2014 Land Rover LR4 SCV6 Hesitation/Shutter While Accelerating

    I had the exact same condition and I validated it was the transmission. Long term I’ll be doing a fluid flush and a zip kit, trying to avoid a rebuild, As an FYI here’s how I validated and “fixed” it in the meantime...

    Driveline Vibration

    Driveline installed, it was time consuming but easy. I struggled getting the crossmember loose. I replaced both drivelines and it turns out what I’m feeling is the transmission, likely the torque converter. I did a bunch of research here and have long term plans but just posted this...

    Lube Guard Instant Shudder fix - works….RPM fluctuation and trans shudder gone

    First thing is I know this is not a long term fix, I just need a few months until I can flush fluids, install new filter and a zip kit, but….. LR4 146k miles on original fluids. Standard 2k rpm fluctuation and a shudder in the transmission on slow acceleration up to about 40mph. I just used...

    Driveline Vibration

    Thanks for the response, I sat on this for a long time. I’m in the same position, I have the front shaft and need to get it installed. I’m struggling to find any write ups on doing the front shaft. Lots on the rear and many YouTube videos of people calling a CV Axle a drive shaft. If you did...
