All is lost?
I’m wondering why the antifreeze was low by two quarts. I think the whole expansion tank is only about 2 qts, so the expansion tank must have been nearly empty. If you filled previously with a vacuum fill, shouldn’t have been any air left, so where did it go? Any signs of leaks? I guess... -
All is lost?
I think you first need to figure out if there is oil in the coolant. I’d also suck a little oil out or take a look into the oil filler cap to see if the oil looks normal,i.e, no blown headgasket. That aside, I guess the oil cooler seal could fail and get oil in your coolant and dump oil into... -
Disable Eco start/stop action permanently
Very interesting. I had heard there was a way some shops could turn it off - maybe this is it. Mine never worked (bought used), so maybe the prior owner did this mod. As a related matter, I believe the start/stop battery once it dies will drag down the main battery. I was getting a few... -
Serpentine/Accessory belt failure on a very wet, dark MI road in the middle of nowhere...
Are you sure the new ECT is giving you the reading on the left? That appears to be the hot side coolant temp sensor (coming out of the block), which should be at the back of the engine on the rear crossover. The ECT at the front of the engine (which I think is the one you replaced) is... -
Maf Sensors...
FCPeuro lists Bosch as the original equipment, for whatever that’s worth. I haven’t had to replace mine, but I seem to recall that others on here have reported using Bosch as well. -
Serpentine/Accessory belt failure on a very wet, dark MI road in the middle of nowhere...
I actually used to find the best prices at dealers by shopping around various dealer sites online. It’s been a while since I’ve needed anything, but I was astounded at some of the price differences I’d see. My dealer (Livermore CA) used to have great online prices, but then shut their online... -
Serpentine/Accessory belt failure on a very wet, dark MI road in the middle of nowhere...
Ah…not sure why that didn’t occur to me. So strange to see them just sitting there. That seems like good evidence of a pulley failure as Rover Range points out. -
Serpentine/Accessory belt failure on a very wet, dark MI road in the middle of nowhere...
That’s the vacuum pump, but I’m not sure what those little copper colored beads are in the photo. -
Serpentine/Accessory belt failure on a very wet, dark MI road in the middle of nowhere...
Depends how long you were running hot, but your temp shot up because the water pump stopped circulating which is very different from losing all your coolant and running dry (as happens with the crossover failure scenario). In your case, I expect your temps were not near as high, so if you kept... -
2012 LR4 Electrical power loss
There have been a couple of reports on these forums of the ignition relay going bad. That could definitely give you the power loss while driving. I’m not sure if it would cause the ECU reset. A bad ground strap or a bad ground to the ECU (or a short in the power side) would probably cause... -
Overheating issue! LR4 2016 SCV6
For sure, we’ve seen reports of bad motor mounts causing the fan to hit the shroud/brush guard, and that certainly might be the cause of the overheating. But, personally, I would bleed the system and probably replace the t-stat before I drove the car anymore. The heads on these cars seem to... -
Does anyone have an idea of what this rumble/knocking sound might be?
Just listened to the last video and i’m 99% sure that’s the heat shield. -
Does anyone have an idea of what this rumble/knocking sound might be?
Pretty sure its the transmission heat shield. Known issue - the steel bracket holding the heat shield cracks and it will vibrate right at like 1280 rpms under load. I replaced one, then welded a second. If you get under the car and bang on it with your hand or a mallet, you’ll probably hear... -
System too lean at idle - Bank 1 and 2
Sounds like one fantastic mechanic you’ve got there. MAF code would suggest the MAF as the other say here. Try cleaning. If the code persists, try swapping. If it follows - replace that MAF. If it doesn’t follow but persists on that same bank. Might be wiring harness to the MAF. Also... -
Can't seem to be able to program homelink
I installed new garage door openers a few years ago and found out the 2016 LR4 homelink isn’t compatible with the rolling code garage door openers. Chamberlain’s literature said it was compatible, but that was apparently incorrect. They sent me this thing that intercepts the homelink signal and... -
Crossover pipe work
There generally are no symptoms until it leaks (or bursts if unlucky). Many of us did it as preventative maintenance somewhere in the 60k-80k mileage range. -
Dash lit up like a Christmas tree out in BFE
With that many codes, I think I’d check for rodent damage right behind/below the battery box. As I recall, there is a fat sheath of wires that goes though the firewall into the junction boxes just below that battery box. Seems to be a hotspot for rodents. Rodents do seem to love these vehicles. -
Noise? Rod Knock
That sounds terrible, but it’s not the typical supercharger noise when the coupler goes bad. Your noise sounds more like a pulley to me. As mentioned above, the idler pulley is a known problem, and it will shred your belt if you don’t fix it. I’d start by just pulling the accessory belt and... -
MAF issues, reduced performance
MAF sensors, O2 sensors, fuel pressure sensor, and purge valve/evap canister, all come to mind as possible causes of rich condition. -
My 2012 LR4 is not starting anymore, help please
Could be brake pedal switch or starter relay. -
2015 Land Rover LR4 HSE- Thinking about buying, does the engine sound right? https://youtu.be/wqjUb-qWbxE
If a Land Rover is not leaking oil, there something wrong with it. That’s how we know they’re still alive. Just FYI, minor oil leaks from the valve cover or timing cover are pretty common on these trucks. Pulling the valve cover requires pulling the injectors, so a lot of folks let minor... -
Suspension Fault When Parked on Incline
I've read that degraded silica desiccant from the drier can start to clog the exhaust vent giving rise to this code. I wonder if being on a hill is causing loose desiccant to pile up in a way that blocks the vent. -
Back Crossover/Heater Manifold Repair
I think you should be able to reach that back coolant temp sensor without taking the intake off, but you might need to remove the windshield cowling if you aren't taking off the intake. I have an SCV6 and did the whole job with the intake off, but I was thinking at the time that removing the... -
Looking for thoughts on leak under engine block
Ha…my censored word was m-u-r-d-e-r …. should have known that would get censored.
