    high pitched noise - Posting new thread due to other being moderated

    There should be vacuum through the oil cap when you remove the cap while the engine is running. I would replace the whole assembly.

    Are these air struts bad?

    this is overkill. I have 157k on the original rear airstruts right now. If it ain’t broke don’t fix

    high pitched noise - Posting new thread due to other being moderated

    This is the exact sound my LR4 made when the PCV went bad. I’ll drop a YouTube video of it. Go plug the little pinhole on your PCV valve and see if the car starts freaking out and running weirdly and making a whining noise.

    Showoff Your LR4

    https://www.landroverworld.org/threads/dtc-p026a-intercooler-outlet-temp-aux-pump-velocity-ap.45073/ Might help out with the charge cooler code. Seems like the symptoms are pretty similar.

    Loud wailing noise when hot after injector swap

    Where do you hear the whine? If it’s on the passenger side toward the back of the engine it could be PCV valves. When my PCV valves went bad it would make a squeaking noise right after I shut it off. Take a video of the noise.

    oil leak onto exhaust manifold

    Your correct. I need to change mine and have all the parts for it. Only thing holding me back is the fear of breaking an injector while pulling them. If you mess it up the head has to come off… @powershift is correct too, engine bay is pretty narrow and I’m sure some of those valve cover bolts...

    Stalling

    mine runs 416 and above at idle. it can be higher if its above 87 degrees and the car idles high at 1000-1100 RPM to boost the compressor and the viscus fan. Might have a bad fuel pump, low pressure pump can cause the high pressure pumps to run low PSI. Do you have the SCV6 or the 5.0L

    Lr4 coolant bleed valve screw

    LR055301 if you are using the 3.0L SCV6 I believe this should be it. Ill link the FCP Euro image of it below, just make sure it looks the same. https://www.fcpeuro.com/products/land-rover-engine-coolant-bleeder-screw-genuine-land-rover-lr055301#fitment

    Paint Cost

    Agreed, the plastics are a pain. Mine has a bit of haze over the top of the fender flares. It has a bit on the top of the rear bumper but my detailer did a great job of making it better. It has some cracking on the roof unfortunately and despite the ceramic coating and one wash a week it still...

    Paint Cost

    reading this gives me PTSD of those noises. was wheeling with a friend at night a couple of years ago and he took a wrong turn on a trail that was closed. the trail was completely washed out and overgrown. By the time it got super over grown we had passed the point of no return, the trail was so...

    Paint Cost

    paint on these cars is rough. I care a lot about my paint and I have to remind myself that this car is 15 years old to get myself to stop obsessing sometimes. I lost my garage space when I moved so for the past 6 months I've had to park the LR4 outside. at the beginning of this whole experience...

    Blown Engine 2011 w/126K miles

    agreed, I think we talked about this a couple of years ago in a different thread but I've got a 400 watt JL ACP110LG-TW1 paired with the old factory 480w Logic7 system and i have the input level on the sub cranked to the minimum and even the factory amp sub level turned down to 3 from minimum...

    Blown Engine 2011 w/126K miles

    I do 5k oil intervals. Pulled out about a liter less on this oil change, around 7.5 liters at 154k. My car leaks it, doesn’t burn it. My rear main and upper timing cover and valve covers leak. I’ve been lazy abt the upper timing cover because if I have to pull the valve covers then I might as...

    Blown Engine 2011 w/126K miles

    My money is on rods. Seems like most of the damage remains in the combustion chambers and usually doesn’t leave the block from the the chain horror stories I’ve heard. Additionally I don’t think I’ve ever heard of the bottom of the block opening up from a timing issue. Doesn’t mean it couldn’t...

    2012 LR4 Speaker Replacement

    I know the Logic 7 system became more powerful I think post 2011. if I remember correctly they went from a 14 speaker 480w system pre 2012 and to a 17 speaker (added tweeters to the mid range center speaker in the front and the 2 surround mid ranges in the back) and to an 825w system. I would...

    2011 LR4 HSE oil question

    15 quarts is insane… my guess is he either did an oil change and forgot to drain the oil (weird) or broken oil level sensor causing him to add absurd amounts and most likely bringing him to sell the car because he thought he was burning it. Get an oil analysis to make sure the engine is...

    Persistent misfire under load only

    Was about to hang it up and take it into the shop but decided to swap out cylinder 5 coil and plug before I did. To my surprise that was the answer. However the fuel trims still behave the same but the misfire is completely gone.

    AC not cooling - B11FF-85 (2E) code

    The module that runs the HVAC system. Tells the AC clutch when to kick in and other things like that. If you were trying to ask where it is I couldn’t tell you.

    Persistent misfire under load only

    ok, after a slight bit of more research the charcoal canister on the discovery is different... and oh is it expensive. but now that i know its different, does anyone know if i should be able to blow down it freely or if it should be sealed off?

    Persistent misfire under load only

    so i dropped the spare tire in my LR4 and found that the pipe going up to the engine is vacuum tight when i blow from the charcoal canister towards the engine. at that point i figured that the rich condition was most likely caused by the smoke test i did and was probably the residue from the...
