Are these two options available with the Gap tool?
I can only add that my cameras do stay active regardless of speed. I was surprised by that myself - I think most cars disable the cameras at speed so people to try to watch them when driving too fast. But I don’t know how that feature is turned on/off (or if its even a setting that can be... -
Intermittent burning smell?
That‘s a new one to me. Did he suggest how the cabin air filter could possibly be burning? The only thing I’ve ever heard of burning up in the hvac is the blower motor, more specifically, the bearings in the motor. That can cause a terrible smell. -
2013 LR4 Transmission Gremlin
I don’t see why anyone would suggesting a transmission tear down for this. Seems like it would need to be somewhere between the software control and the mechatronic unit. With that strange dash display, I’d be thinking a software/programming problem. With regard to no power to the gap tool... -
Intermittent burning smell?
Since you smell it outside sometimes, my guess is that it is not the HVAC and it’s something under the hood. The HVAC draws air from just below the windshield, so if you have some fumes coming up from under the hood, they can get sucked into the cabin when the HVAC is on, but the smell will be... -
Intermittent burning smell?
Does it smell like oil? Maybe valve cover leak dripping onto manifold? Do you smell it outside the car, or only inside? -
Steal of a deal on an LR4 with issues
Can’t think of how it would be getting into the valley. You mentioned the possibility of a valve cover leak before, and that seems more likely - rear valve cover dripping down the back. Otherwise, maybe oil pan gasket. You’re sure its motor oil and not transmission fluid or gear box? -
Check engine light-low pressure fuel module
Or the LP fuel pump itself, which many have had issues with. -
Check engine light-low pressure fuel module
What is the exact code, and what diagnostics were done? Can’t tell much based on info provided. -
New Recall Alert : Fuel System
According to the recall notice, the cracked flange might cause the MIL to light up. I’m guessing it would be an evap leak detection code. From what I’ve read, however, most people just start smelling fuel. -

FYI: SCV6 cylinder numbering
What was the cause of the misfire (or are you still figuring it out)? -
Start/Stop ECO question
More than likely it’s just the battery dying. My eco has never worked, but my light came on last year. Mine did the same as yours - came and went occasionally, then just stayed on. I checked the battery and it was very dead - down to something like 10V. Replaced it and the light went off... -
Gas smell after driving. No error codes. No visible leaks.
Anyone know if the NHTSA has any rules about how quickly they need to role out the repairs? I know they have to notify owners within a certain period of time, which they did, but seems like they would also have rules about how long the manufacturer can wait to start repairs. -
Need some help with an engine squeak/squeal...
The other thing to keep in mind is that extended warranties (including LR “branded” extended warranties) generally exclude consequential damages from a failed part. So, when you talk about “catastrophic water pump failure” - the warranty might cover the pump, but it probably won’t cover damage... -
Question for LR4 owners that switched to 18" wheels
Email Tuffant. They’re pretty responsive, and they might give you some idea offhand of whether it is likely to rub. They won’t guarantee it, off course. -
LR4 front fuel pumps
Lock the cams to remove the HP fuel pumps? I haven't done this repair myself yet, but I don't see why you'd need to lock the cams unless you're removing the chain from the fuel pump cam. The pumps just run off some kind of tappet, right? So removing the pump shouldn't mess up the timing -... -
2012 LR4 - Amber brake warning and special systems unavailable,
Can you get the codes? Did the faults/suspension drop happen immediately after driving through the snowbank, or only after you were working on it to replace the tie rods and brake wear indicator? Maybe check your wheel speed sensor and suspension height sensor on that side. -
2016 LR4 Coolant Crossover, Water Pump, Thermostat Replacement
By the “rear coolant pipe” I assume you mean the rear crossover (heater manifold) at the back of the engine. I don’t know how likely it is you could have damaged the rear crossover, but there are heater tubes attached to the crossover, and a bunch of stuff tied to the bracket at the back. If... -
Engine gone
You might get some idea for how tight the chain is using a pick through the oil filler hole. Aside from the chain, I wonder if a failing VVT solenoid (or associated wiring harness) could cause these issues. I think it might trigger the P0018 code, but not sure about limp mode. -
Need some help with an engine squeak/squeal...
Water pump is at the front of the engine. Supercharger sits on top of the engine and the pulley/snout is top front and just to the passenger side of center. Just about anything I can imaging squeaking like that is at the front of the engine - anything on a belt/pulley. How did you rule out... -
2016 LR4 Coolant Crossover, Water Pump, Thermostat Replacement
You should replace the gaskets between the supercharger and the engine. You do not need to replace the gasket between the intercooler and the supercharger. That’s per the manual. I haven’t heard of the supercharger bearings being a problem, but more power to you. -
Rear hatch issue
Good lord, the prices they charge. You’d think they’re replacing the entire tailgate for that price, not just the handle. For reference, the actuator cost me $70 at my local dealer and took me well under an hour (more like 30 minutes) to replace, with no prior knowledge of how that tailgate... -
Intermittent rear hatch issues
Classic symptoms of a failing actuator. There is lots written on this subject, including replacement videos on youtube as I recall. Scenario 1: you can get the tailgate open, and you access and replace the actuator in the rear tailgate section. Scenario 2: you cannot get the tailgate open... -
Prolonged engine choke operation when starting from cold
Not sure about carbon footprint angle, but I think the concern is valid if the car is high-idling longer than it used to. I’m not sure how the system works - mine idles high for 30 seconds, and I assumed that was just timed (in which case it would not vary with temp), but maybe there is some... -
Wheels and Tires?
The Tuffants seem to be a good wheel and have a pretty strong following. Company was very responsive when I was asking questions about them. I went with compos and BFG KO2s mainly because I couldn’t wait for the Tuffants to come back in stock at the time I needed them. On the lift rods, not...
