I did a google search for the Bosch number on my ECU: 0281001273 I get several hits referring to used parts or someone trying to chip a P38 model -97 and -98. Like this one -97 from a parts recycler in Sweden...

Likely is an understatement. Isn’t a typical charge air temperature with intercooler around 150 degrees C? Does all engine ECU:s have the possibility to read both inlet air temp in the manifold and ambient temp from the MAF? At the moment I have neither. I wonder what will happen to the...

Got a hold of a new fuel filter. Mahle this time. Did the 10s test again and got 200ml after the filter this time. Took the car for a spin and it feels better now. Wanted to try the usual hill on my way home to see if I could accelerate past 140km/h but there was too much traffic. Will test...

Today I’m spending some quality time with my Rover. I did some road testing on my way to work. First I unplugged the MAP sensor. Car ran a lot worse. Reconnected MAP and instead disconnected IAT sensor. That caused no change. Then I removed the lift pump relay. No change there either. So...

I had a spare engine from an Omega where I got the pump from. And by comparing the engines I can tell that the engine in the car has Range Rover spec inlet manifold, covers, hoses and coolant pipes. This morning before I drove to work I looked at the loose plug for MAF. It is a round plug with...

I looked through rave. Maf sensor is called X105. It’s plug is C504. Round plug with six pins. The plot thickens... Let’s say my car sometime before 2004 got it’s engine swapped for some reason for the pre -99 engine. Shouldn’t also the engine ECU been replaced as well? My inlet manifold has...

I don’t know. The thing is with this car is it was exported from Belgium to Norway in 2004. And exported by me from Norway to Sweden when me and my family moved back to Sweden recently. So the info must come from Belgium I guess. You know what? There is a plug hanging loose around that area. A...

Separate gauge temporarily just lying on the dash now that I’m trying to get to the bottom of this.

I went to my computer and checked some photos from when I swapped the pump. They both ended with 994. So I guess I was lucky then. About the engine itself. Is it possible to confirm wether my engine has been swapped? My vin number is secret .

My current FIP comes from an Omega and I’ve been driving with that for two and a half years. About 20.000km. Sooo.... I’m fairly certain that info of yours is a tiny bit incorrect.

I have a hot start fix. It starts ok when hot.

Trust me. It doesn’t have EGR. Aluminum inlet manifold.

Sorry forgot to mention some things. Lift pump was tested according to the test in technical archive in February when the FIP was out. No EGR valve. Boost gauge is connected to a T-piece just below the MAP sensor. I plan on doing some maintenance on Thursday so will double check lift pump and...

Hello gents. I have a 1999 P38 diesel with 380.000km. I’ve been venting my previous issues on rangerovers.net but I’ve come to realize there are far more diesel knowledge on this site so now I’ve registered here to continue my crusade. The car was running fine all things considered. Non...
