    2016 LR4 Coolant Crossover, Water Pump, Thermostat Replacement

    Please tell me more about the isolator inside the SC. Location, Part Number? Also, I continue to be confused by "snout", do you mean throttle body? And why does it need to come off? Thanks, Dan

    2016 LR4 Coolant Crossover, Water Pump, Thermostat Replacement

    Is there a way to validate that this is the SC in my particular vehicle or do I wait until it's apart and look for the identification info? Will change the oil (if i can get it..)

    How to: Supercharger Removal, Rear Crossover, and Passenger Valve Cover

    SO... regarding order of operations... On the 2013, I unbolted the intake manifold - kept the throttle body attached, supported on bungie cords and disconnected the throttle body coolant line at the rear manifold (rear crossover), then removed intake manifold and throttle body as a unit. (Never...

    How to: Supercharger Removal, Rear Crossover, and Passenger Valve Cover

    I was wondering what the big deal was about the pins, holding gaskets is just tooo obvious, I guess. With that insight, I have had a bang up idea for making my own pins - thanks!

    2016 LR4 Coolant Crossover, Water Pump, Thermostat Replacement

    Part Number? Up on page 9 of this thread, we are referring to part #7. I have this in the 2016 manual shown as "Bleed pipe connection (containing check valve) and as a separate part. But does anyone know the part number? Or does that actually only come with the new hose? Thanks.

    How to: Supercharger Removal, Rear Crossover, and Passenger Valve Cover

    Sorry, just want to make sure I can do it right.... OK, so lets talk about alignment pins. I'm saving several grand doing this myself so I don't mind (too much) buying the pins vs making them myself. This is what I find in the manual for the 2016. I just want to make sure I am reading this...

    How to: Supercharger Removal, Rear Crossover, and Passenger Valve Cover

    Supercharger torque order - just double checking my interpretation... The manual (pg 2464 in my copy) is even more obtuse on this than usual, but I interpret the torque order (using cylinder numbering as per the manual). Cylinder Numbering Firewall 3 6 2 5 1 4 Front Torque order is...

    How to: Supercharger Removal, Rear Crossover, and Passenger Valve Cover

    Ending my day "reading" the mechanics manual, still plenty more to study - really not looking forward to this, but it must be done.... Question for today - having done this on the 2013 a few months ago, and not having done it this way (!), I now very clearly understand the benefits of...

    How to: Supercharger Removal, Rear Crossover, and Passenger Valve Cover

    . I am exhausted from using pliers and vice grips, but can't seem to find a decent specialty tool. Can you specify a reasonably good tool?

    2016 LR4 Coolant Crossover, Water Pump, Thermostat Replacement

    Buy a vaccuum fill setup - you will need a small air compressor if you don't already have one. It's a whole lot easier than trying to bleed from the various bleed ports. Just make sure that whatever you get has the adapter to attach to the reservoir. My vaccuum setup is Astro 78585 -...

    2016 LR4 Coolant Crossover, Water Pump, Thermostat Replacement

    Getting ready to do all this on the 2016. (I did the 2013 back in Dec.) So just to be sure, I don't see intake manifold gaskets on the parts lists, so I do ?NOT? need to remove the intake manifold on the 2016? If it's coming off it's getting new gaskets! Or do I not understand this project...

    Quick Compressor Replacement Question

    Thanks! So any input on going from the AMK to the Hitachi? Re-programming? Looks like that K&N Breather filter will save a few $ with no downside! Yup, I learned very early on, way back in the '70's that my work on a vehicle is always superior to the dealership. And although expensive, I...

    Quick Compressor Replacement Question

    Hey everyone! Getting ready to do the compressor on the 2016 and there are a few questions. Rover cannot tell me definitively which compressor was originally installed, they can only tell me that because it's a newer model that it probably came with the AMK. Does anyone know for sure that this...

    2010 V8 serpentine and accessory belt replacement

    I have these and they work on the 2013 V8 - left hand thread. Watch which way you turn - depends on your year of course... NO supercharger it's a left hand thread, with supercharger it's a standard thread. These are the tools as specified in the mechanics manual. Amazon: DPTOOL Viscous Fan...

    Heated windshields

    Is it a factory window or has it been replaced? it might just be a bad connection on the passengers side. On the interior pillar about 2/3 of the way up, pop off that piece of plastic, it's been a while but I believe that the connector is there. If not, then loosen that torqx and remove the...

    Snow chains recommendations

    I grew up in Wisconsin (but real mountain terrain and snow not so much), we used chains probably all of 2 times my entire growing up years. Always a pain, hopefully better technology nowadays. But then came studded snow tires - remember those? And then actual real snow tires. Now I am in...

    Steal of a deal on an LR4 with issues

    I have the mechanics manuals for 2009-2012, 2014 and 2016. They are widely available on-line and they are inexpensive. As I recall I got them from Craigs Manuals, good service and immediate downloads. Inexpensive as well. I use Palm Beach Rover for my parts. Seldom the least expensive, but...

    Intake Valve Cleaner Chemicals - Your Opinion on Immediate Change of Oil

    Just cleaned the MAF sensors and the throttle body. Ready to clean the valves with a can of spray (CRC if it matters). Any thoughts on the need to change the oil after this? Some concern about unburned chemicals making their way into the oil, and compatibility of the chemicals with engine...

    IID Tool Recommendation

    Finally had a few minutes to get to this. Thanks for the menu help. It has been quite a while since I first attempted this reset, but this looks familiar. Anyway, new phone, so downloaded all new files. It worked this time and the "Maintenance Required" message is now gone.

    IID Tool Recommendation

    No, I have not updated the software since the initial "install", and I do need to do that. The message that will not clear is the "Maintenance Required" that flashes up at startup for 5 or 6 seconds. As I recall that was an "irritation reminder" to get the vehicle to the dealership and not...
