p003c

2011 LR4 NA v8 just popped up MIL with P003c. I figured it was one of the cam solenoids but have not dealt with this on the land rover before. Anyone recently replaced the solenoid(s)? How big a job is it? TIA

Usually caused by low oil levels.
Change the two cam phaser solenoids- rear of cylinder heads.
And do an oil and filter change.

thanks RR. oil and filter just changed 1k miles ago. I will look for the solenoids and change them out.

Check your oil level. There's a live value for it that you can access with the GAP tool. Not super accurate on a cold motor, but sure is a lot more convenient than the dipstick in dash system.

oil level is at max on dash indicator. Bank 1 is the RH bank, correct? [passenger side in US]

 

[Rover Range]

Bank one is the right side.

thanks.
I stopped by the main dealer here, no stock anywhere closer than Boston. ordered the solenoid for bank1 [actually they are both the same]it..should be here by thurs or friday. The jag part number [same solenoid] was about $15 cheaper.

ok, replaced the RH bank solenoid last night..what a pig of a job! Pretty easy except that torx securing bolt that is in a place that you cannot get your fingers on it. spent a lot of time trying to figure out how to keep it from dropping when loosened then it dropped down into never never land anyhow. had to get the remote camera out and a magnet to find it. all is blind work back there.

I super glue the torx bolt to the torx bit. Makes installing the bolt way easier.

thanks RR. yeah should have glued the bit to the bolt berfore removing. i used a little duct tape to hold the bolt to the bit for reinstallation.
