So.... I’ve got a Freelander 2 Dynamic 63plate. 2.2 diesel 190bhp.
I’m having a intermittent problem which is driving me mad and is quite a big issue when towing. Reading code P007A on diagnostics, which I’m lead to believe is relating to the boost sensor on the inter cooler pipes.
Problem I’m having. Driving along fine...... get stuck it traffic (or through McDonald’s drive through) then the code above stikes and the car goes into some kind of limp mode but no lights on the dash. Revs very high but moves Very slowly, or a major delay when accelerating. Quite dangerous at times especially when pulling out of a junction or towing.
I’m also getting readings of -36 on ‘air intake temperature’. Here’s the kicker the IAT sensor which is meant to be located on the left side of the throttle body is non existent on my car. It’s blanked off (I’m assuming from factory) So the more I delve the boost sensor has only 2 wires plugged into it but a electrical socket for 4. Which I’m led to believe means this boost sensor is actually been used as an air intake temp sensor pre-intercooler. So again the code and the temp both point to this sensor. Further evidence points this direction as I can wipe the intermittent P007A code after it has occurred, if I unplug the boost sensor the P007A remains and won’t allow me to wipe it whilst unplugged. Again pinning the problem to the sensor.
What I’ve done so far......
Changed MAP sensor, MAP boost sensor, MAF sensor, Thermostat, Coolant sensor & Full Service.
I’ve scrooled the web and can’t find anyone anywhere with the same problem so I’d hugely appreciate anyone with great knowledge on this car and this engine that maybe able to shed light on the problem.
Regards
Gareth
Ps I can add pictures or anything required for anyone to help.
