have scanned the car. it is the needle lift sensor- (injector 1)...

also if are curious about my troubles and symptoms- I have previously put up a thread on here called '98 Land rover Freelander 2.0 diesel engine light on, blowing blue smoke when cold'... thanks

have read that 98 and 99 model diesels are not obd compliant or something and need a hawkeye... they are pricey but I am going to get one- is there any particular one/model or something I need? and if it is my ecu, will it pick that up?

mine is hard to get in , but i still manage to get it in....

have given up on trying to sort the problem myself, am taking it to landrover! i called the up and they said a scan will cost me $132 and that if the car is still allowing me to drive it then it is fine to drive- but do not drive it like a race car....

ok, i am going to outline what I have done. -replaced maf sensor -cleaned intake that bolts on to manifold (full of sludge- enough to pile an inch of sludge in one swipe of a finger) -cleaned egr valve (was full of soot) -cleaned egr pipe to intake (full of sludge also) -attempted to clean...

pulled the intake off and it is full of sludge, all the way through as well as the egr hose to the intake. am pulling the egr valve out to see if clogged etc., as well as clean everything out. what should I use to clean it all out with?

oil has also worked its way to the engine intake from top inter cooler hose- explains blue smoking and rough/heavy running when cold and the loss of power also... what would cause this? and has anyone had this issue?

hi guys, mechanic has not come out yet, he is still busy. had another look today under the bonnet and found large split in hose from top of the engine to back the air intake pipe. i pulled it off to repair it and notice it was a bit oily, so I started the engine with it off and revved it to...

update- had another look today under the bonnet. i pulled the return hose off as it was loose on the injector on right side of car and putit back on with zippy tie to tighten. little diesel leaked out but diddnt worry about it as it wasnt much. started the car and looked back under the bonnet...

yes it is lumpy when first start from cold only. and not sure what the mech. is planning to plug in- hopefully hawkeye :) and not enough air boost? would that be map sensor?

also have a mechanic coming out to try and do scan sometime soon, but he not sure if his scanning tool will be compatible with the model. also going to do a compression test.

what were the symptoms? also, prop shaft is off- just a front wheel drive freelander at the moment. also battery was replaced about a week ago. not sure what power washing is, but when we bought it we started it a couple of times and still ran well. once brought it home problem came up...

nah, dont mind at all. bought it off a fellow about 6 months ago maybe with broken ird, broken tailgate lever, tailgate wouldnt open, and siezed vcu. ird was replaced about month ago, along with tailgate lever, then came service replacing oil, air and fuel filters- also running two new oil...

well seems to run fine once warmed up a little- minus the slight lack of power. was also advised by someone to maybe just give it a little bit of a run as it was sitting for a while with buggered IRD... problem did improve but still remains. I take it there are 2 coloured warning lights?

update- also gives a little hiccup when put foot down a fair bit on accelerator when driving...
