Wondering if anyone has any advice? Freelander 2, no power when pulling away and when accellerating i can feel the drag. Other symptoms are shuddering when turning the engine off.
I was driving on the motorway with foot to the floor, 3000rpm but could only get upto 50mph.
Recently had a new reconditioned engine and battery. So trying to avoid spending more than necessary.
Diagnostic test brought up 3 codes..
PO238
PO2E0
PO2E1
After researching I can see that the last 2 are the throttle body, but worried about the first one. As that could be the turbo actuator? But no other codes Associate with this.
Garage plans to do a smoke tests followed by further tests, but cant fit the car in until next week. But I have a 4 hour round trip on Sunday!!!
I have a mobile mechanic that can fit a new throttle body this week, he will do a smoke test first to check for leaks.
My concern is that if the smoke test shows nothing, and then I pay for the throttle body to be changed, it may not actually be the throttle body?
The garage that it is booked in next week have said that it could anything from an air leak to the turbo, but surely the turbo would have throw a few more faults?
Anyone been in situation or have any advice? I don't really feel like a 4 hr round trip in limp mode.
FYI, I have no clue about cars, and this has all been found on Google. I just don't want to be taken advantage of
