    sucking air between engine and transmission

    PROBLEM SLOVED! REAR PCV VALVE I replaced 1 of the 2 PCV valves and the issues continued. The one I replaced looked fine, spring was in order and no ripped rubber gasket so I didn’t bother replacing the 2nd( the one closer to the back of the motor) this morning I saw the second valve sitting on...

    sucking air between engine and transmission

    I don’t have the iiD tool but I’ll get one ordered and try it. I’ve driven the car several hundred miles( 100 per day for the past 2 weeks) does it only learn after it’s been reset. Would the reset affect the vacuum issue as well? I’ve been searching for some sort of vent but have come up empty...

    sucking air between engine and transmission

    Could it be a damaged intake valve and it’s sucking air through the rings creating suction in the crank case. Don’t even know if that would be possible.( doesn’t seem likely) it’s one of those nights you lay starring at the ceiling running any possible idea through your head and dreaming of...

    sucking air between engine and transmission

    One guy at the shop was talking about a “washed out cylinder” from the fuel being compressed past the rings but the owner of the shop said that would be a constant issue not just idling and create pressure in the crank case not suction( accompanied with check engine lights for sure) he said. Not...

    sucking air between engine and transmission

    What is excessive suction? I’ll take a video in the morning if me opening the oil cap while it’s running. I agree sealing the hole is a pretty dumb idea....as is spending another 3500 to get a seal replaced:( that’s a good idea trying to get a camera in there to see the seal. As of now there is...

    sucking air between engine and transmission

    I have an aviation fuel tank sealer called Pro Seal that would work on it but if its an issue id like to fix it instead of put a bandage on it. just don't understand what is creating such a vacuum. if I open the oil fill cap it sucks a huge gulp of air in and stops sucking from the bottom. is it...

    sucking air between engine and transmission

    If I knew it wouldn’t damage anything I’d seal that hole so no water or mud got sucked up while driving

    sucking air between engine and transmission

    Yes but vacuum leak through the rear main seal or what? No oil leaks( car sat for 3 weeks while I was on vacation and not a single drip on the floor) could it be something as simple as replacing the Pcv intake valves on the passenger valve cover?

    sucking air between engine and transmission

    after having injectors replaced my 2011 LR4 with 195,000 miles is having issues idling with the A/C off. if A/C is on it idles fine. I found that the car is sucking air from that little drain hole/vent between where the engine and transmission meet up. anyone ever had an issue like this or can...

    200,000 mile service advice

    also using a code reader I can view live data and my cat temps hover around 1700 degrees( if I park on grass even in off-road height it will kill and burn the grass in a matter of 10-15 minutes) never remember it doing that before. Anyone ever looked at the temps on their LR4 idling

    200,000 mile service advice

    Recently had an injector stick open( which was a nightmare to say the least‍♂️ Fuel filled the #8 cylinder and hydro locked the engine) so all8 injectors got replaced. All sparks plugs and coils I’ve done all the fluids( diffs transfer case and coolant) only thing on the coolant system I...

    200,000 mile service advice

    I’ve read through the threads of how many miles people have and the common issues associated with high mileage but does anyone have a good “list of service items” to check over and do? Currently have 195k on my 2011 LR4. I’ve recently done quite a bit of stuff to it but was curious what other...

    2011 LR4 Misfire/rough idle

    So I read through this thread and agree I’ve got an injector issue but just want to see if y’all agree. Few days ago tried to pass someone in traffic, car downshifted and felt rough upon acceleration. Immediately the “reduced performance” and check engine light came on. Limped home with a cloud...

    Crossover Pipe - Replace Pre-Emptively?

    Is this normal!?! I’ve got my 2011 LR 4 apart replacing the water pump, oil cooler tube, crossover pipe, thermostat etc... anything related to cooling. When I pulled the intake I noticed the carbon build up. is this normal? Is there anything I can do to clean them or just let it be? 180,000 on...

    Compressor Identification

    If you take the cover off the compressor the two look very different.( mounting set up) Odds are you have a hitachi compressor but there is a label on the compressor that will say the brand name. Unless it’s been replaced before you will have a hitachi

    Suspension Position Long Time Parking

    It will kill the key fob battery within 4or 5 days( brand new battery lasted 4 days when I was leaving it in the truck all day and overnight) and I was told by a tech that it actually communicates with the car while it’s inside so it also puts a drain on the car battery( because it keeps some of...

    Suspension Position Long Time Parking

    Hmm well shoot, good to know. Guess I’ve been doing it wrong. I think somewhere in the owners manual it also talks about long term parking. Something about adding air to the tires to prevent flat spots. I’ll see if I can find it.

    Suspension Position Long Time Parking

    I use to park my Range Rover and my current 2011 LR 4 for 6-7 months at a time in a hangar while I traveled for work. I Always had it in access mode. I don’t think it really matters( I just didn’t want to come home to the front on the bump stops and the ass up in the air) throw a good battery...

    2010 LR4 brake bleed question

    I do it with it running, have done it in the past with it off don’t really think it makes a difference( unless you’ve got your girlfriend pumping the pedal....then do it with it running so it’s easier to push)

    Front diff making metal

    Yup...exactly what I had to do. Very nerve racking taking a grinder to a 2500 screw up but I had no other way to do it. Getting the diff out is pretty straightforward. - remove the frame cross member -remove rim hub center cap and break axel nut lose -remove tire -remove upper control ark and...

    Front diff making metal

    Yeah finished and all back together. Put about 1000 miles on so far and seems fixed. No more grind whine or vibration. Occasionally I feel like I hear it making noise.. but odd are I’m just over analyzing the noises. To get the drive shaft out I gave it a few good whacks with a heavy rubber...

    Front diff making metal

    Yes it’s a ***** to undo but I unscrewed the mounts from the frame and just pushed it up out of the way. Didn’t want to unplug anything. I actually had to cut that front diff mounting bolt to get it out because the nut side was just spinning and I couldn’t get anything to hold it but putting a...
