2007 vogue tdv8 no power

[Donalddabbotjordan]

Good Morning
Seems to be this time of year again!
My L322 has lost its power while under load,foot to the floor, not much happens,it starts fine,revs fine,when you put it in drive and put your foot down to pull away not much happens(ie not running as she should)she was running perfectly well until yesterday.
Any help in resolving this would be much appreciated.
Thanks

Diagnostics, sounds like the engine may have gone into limp mode.

 

[Donalddabbotjordan]

Thanks for your reply, It has no faults on the dash.Will take into our local Indy tomorrow.

Just hope it's not a turbo

Ah positive thinking!

Ive known egr valves to give the symptoms you have described

True, that should show on diagnostics as they give feedback to the ECU.

 

[Donalddabbotjordan]

Both egr valves where replaced 12 months ago

As datatek said the egr valves will feedback data to the ecu but u need to know how to read it correctly ive seen egr feedback which will show good working valves only upon removal to find the flap has been in the closed position and the arm has snapped at the flap joint. Which wil still enable the arm to move which in return shows the good feedback via datalogger

Thanks guys, I'll keep you posted!
Thanks again!

Loose the EGR's

Loose the EGR's

Not that simple, requires the ECU to be reprogrammed.

Some say that for the td6 but they are fine

Are the later units electronic opposed to a vacuum valve ?

No feedback on the Td6 as far as I'm aware. Closed loop feedback on the V8 which means if the valves do not respond a fault is logged.

She's still at the garage,will give an update when they find out what's wrong.

She's still at the garage,will give an update IF they find out what's wrong.

Edited for accuracy

 

[Donalddabbotjordan]

'IF' was the right word! She's been in the indys garage for two days,they can't find anything wrong.Only thing they have noticed is that in the main dealer service book the last time the fuel filter was changed was 18months ago! It's been serviced by a main dealer in Italy for the last 3 years.
Pick her up tomorrow afternoon or Thursday morning.Will let you know how I get home,rangie or flatbed!

Sadly, they are so darn complicated that faults are very hard to track down especially the mechanics are not electronics experts.
Just noticed you are in Nice?

 

[Donalddabbotjordan]

Yea we have been in Nice for 12 years now,my wife is from Venice,Italy. It's a nice place to be based,close to Italy and 1hr 45 from stansted.

I've been in Poitiers for 14 years, wife is French, great place to live.
I very much doubt an Indy will have the skills to sort your car sadly. My experience of Indies in France is that they are not too hot on LR products, unlike the UK. You may end up having to go main dealer and even then it may prove hard to get an answer.
