Not had my freelander long so hope someone can help me confirm if the diesel pre heater is working as expected.
Today when I got back from work I heard a noise from the front of the car after turning the engine off, this did not sound like the cooling fan still running, on investigation the exhaust for the pre heater was letting gasses out. Is this normal?
My understanding is the that the pre heater is just that and only runs when the engine is still getting up the temp. My journey is just under an hour and I didn't even have the heater set to hot for the last half hour so there was no need for the heater to be pushing out hot air. One thing I did notice during my journey was that the temp gauge fluctuated from bang on in the middle to just under a few times (not something I would expect)
Any advice anyone has will be very welcome, cheers.
