The Great Engine Oil Debate
Question for any oil geeks: Any thoughts on the new ACEA C6 oils? I have little knowledge about what all these specs mean, but the new C6 spec is supposed to reduce risk of low speed pre-ingition in boosted engines. LR has apparently moved to a new spec for 2018 onward cars (STJLR.51.5122... -
TuffAnt ET27
Ended up with compos, 265/60’s. Obviously no rubbing with the slightly smaller tire, and tire fits underneath fully inflated. Accommodates stock TPMS. -
Need some help/advice on my washer fluid pump...I think
Not sure - might try to detect a clogged (frozen) line (i.e., maybe pump drawing more power) and turn it off to prevent burning the pump out. I see a code in the manual (B1051-23) relating to the washer switch (signal stuck-low, whatever that means). Maybe there are others as well. -
Need some help/advice on my washer fluid pump...I think
I think the situation would be a DTC starting with a “B”. Some of the codes are protective - they seem to shut the circuit off until they are cleared. We’ve seen reports of that for the tailgate actuator in some instances, and from jlach993’s post above it seems like it might be the same deal... -
Need some help/advice on my washer fluid pump...I think
Might be able clear the code with a cheap generic reader. And she can just pair your iid with her phone I think. The iid can pair with other phones, just not other vehicles. -
engine stalling
Seems like quite a coincidence that the hp fuel pump dies right after they are working on the valve cover, but maybe that’s it. Valve cover removal requires removal of the fuel rails and injectors. Wonder if an injector got damaged or is maybe leaking (they’re supposed to replace the seals... -
Really Stupid Question - Time required to reach operating temperature (V6)?
Warms up in about 5 minutes in CA. I guess it would take a little longer at those temps, but doesn’t seem like it would take more than 10 min. Could be thermostat. Could also be that rear temp sensor (which I assume gives you the engine temp for the dash gauge). That temp sensor might also... -
P0128 code - thermostat?
I just checked an old log, and had 95F/219F at the two sensors, so 124 degree spread. Your spread (158F/194F) is only about 36 degrees. I’ll try to check it again later today with the engine hot and see what I find. However, I have the V6, and they do run at different temperatures compared to... -
P0128 code - thermostat?
Seems like that new temp sensor might be off. As I recall the temp sensor on the heater manifold at the back of the engine is the hot side sensor, and is where your temp gauge reads. Temp sensor below the t-stat is the cold side. It’s been a while since I checked my own temps, but I recall a... -
Stripped bolt hole for 5.0L water pump
Certainly looks like a leak from the pump itself to me. The gaskets on the intake/outlet look like they’re degrading, at least from the pic. If so, I’ll bet the same thing is happening to the gasket between the two halves of the pump. I’d send those picks to Lucky8 and ask for your money back. -
Identify this engine noise
I haven’t accessed it yet myself, but asked another member about it and it’s not easy to get to. You can see the reponse I got here (check post #11): https://www.landroverworld.org/threads/maf-sensor-and-o2-sensor-bad.42734/page-2#post-225187. Maybe just start with removing the wheel well... -
Identify this engine noise
Would also make sense as to why it’s louder when standing at drivers door. -
Identify this engine noise
@Localschauss: That last video you posted still reminds me of a manifold leak. We’ve had some reports of the bolts shearing off on the v6’s - not sure about the v8’s. Look up some videos for manifold leak ticking noises and see what you think. Here’s one, but it’s from a Ford F-150, so maybe... -
Identify this engine noise
If it were the timing chain, I think it would definitely be louder with a stethoscope on the timing chain cover. OP said he could not hear it with the imitation stethoscope. That really seems to suggest it is something else. I definitely hear a ticking in the OP’s video, and if you put a... -
"State of Charge" from IID tool
There seems to be a number of outputs missing on the later models. Haven’t check the state of charge, but I know the pulse-width for the fuel injectors is missing. -
Back in Action! Seized Engine Replaced
You could go in through the oil filler hole with a right angle pick or the like and just see if the chain is tight. Should be real tight- I’ve seen it described as tight like a guitar string if that helps. Pretty unscientific method - but if it’s loose, you for sure have a problem. If it’s... -
LR4 Binding Brakes
Never heard of electronically resetting the brakes. When you do the rear brakes, you need to put the e-brake in a "service position." And, if replacing rear rotors or the e-brake pads, you're supposed to follow a bedding-in procedure. But both of these things can be accomplished at home -... -
Another Coolant pass over issue
Here’s a more complete how-to thread:https://www.landroverworld.org/threads/how-to-supercharger-removal-rear-crossover-and-passenger-valve-cover.42135/ To answer your question, yes supercharger needs to come off. I’ve heard some reports of just lifting the front, but that doesn’t really save... -
Crazy I know but any 19" wheel suggestions?
As for mpg - I went from 20” OEM rims to 18” compos with KO2s (E-rated, heavy). I think I lost about 2 mpg. -
Crazy I know but any 19" wheel suggestions?
Doesn’t seem to make sense to me to shell out for new OEM 19” rims. If you already had 19s, that would make sense, but I imagine the price on new 19’s is pretty high (though I haven’t priced them myself). Maybe you can find used? 19” defender alloys are probably the most expensive option of... -
Just Bought 2011 LR4 Driving Cross Country
For your cross country trip, make sure the battery and alternator are strong. These cars are sensitive to low voltage. If you get into much rain, check the front footwells frequently. The roof drains can leak into the footwells and wet out some of the electronics. The other main... -
LR4 Binding Brakes
Sounds like that should do it. I wouldn’t go back to that same shop though - I’ll bet that caliper was sticking before (when they installed new rotors) and they missed it or just didn’t fix it properly. I would expect something other than a single stuck caliper if the master cylinder was... -
Considering an LR4. Would you buy one at 100k mileage?
That’s true - probably no 5.0 V8’s around there. Loan or lien reported is really nothing - just means someone financed the purchase. Not a reason to put it on copart for auction. As for Km/h, that’s a setting built right in - just select it in the menu options. All the EU standard metrics... -
Considering an LR4. Would you buy one at 100k mileage?
I cannot imagine why it was in an auction with no major issues. The LR4 is still very popular here on the used market. The major problems we see most often are timing chains (usually pre-2013 models) and overheating due to the plastic coolant pipes bursting. Word of caution there: when these... -
Considering an LR4. Would you buy one at 100k mileage?
Hello iSheez. Welcome to the forum. To answer your question, two main companies for checking vehicle history in the US are Autocheck.com and Carfax.com. You just enter the vin and pay a fee to get the report. The reports will normally show accident history and service that was done at car...
