Hi all! I’d be very glad for any advice you may be able to provide!
My Land Rover Freelander 2 (L359) 2008, 2.2L TD4, goes into limp mode, restricting rpm at 3,000. The check engine light goes on (although the problem can occur for a while before that happens) and the dashboard displays the messages: “restricted engine performance” and “engine system failure”. My mechanic told me that the fault code is P2562 - “Turbocharger Boost Control Position Sensor Circuit”. The issue normally occurs when the car has “warmed up”, or been driven for more than 30 minutes (or less in hot weather), and once it occurs it gets progressively worse (i.e. happening more frequently) and eventually the car goes into a constant state of restricted mode; until the fault is erased by a diagnostic tool.
My mechanic has tried the following so far: changed fuel filter, oil filter, and air filter; changed the turbo sensor; changed the mechanic part of the actuator; cleaned the DPF and the catalyst; checked and cleaned the EGR valve.
We were advised, by a mechanic who works in the official Land Rover service, and who has dealt with a similar problem before, to check the swirl valves of the suction collectors, which my mechanic did, saying that they had some breaks. He glued them together but that didn’t help. Could it be that they have to be replaced altogether? He’s also saying that there’s some valve which should be making a vacuum, but instead of staying open when it should, it closes without a trigger. Could that be the culprit?
Subsequently we took the car to the official Land Rover service for diagnosis. They’re saying that the problem is in the turbo actuator and they’re saying that the turbo needs to be replaced. They also said that it had been replaced once already. The quote they’ve given me is in excess of £2,500 and as this is an extremely expensive repair, I’d like to be certain that the problem will be eliminated by replacing the turbo.
I’ve read on various forums that a few people who had the same problem have had their turbo replaced, which didn’t resolve the problem.
Do you have any advice on what could be the cause of the problem? Could the P2562 fault code really mean that the turbo needs replacing, or is there elsewhere we should be looking at?
I’d appreciate any thoughts and advice you may have!
