So guys, today I woke up eager to unplug the MAF and see how it goes (as its a weekend "dry" and not busy)... I took half of the engine covering off... and I was freezing :confused: (as I need to work in the driveway. Well... long story short... i unplug and noticed that the high pressure fuel...

You wrote it supply vacuum. :rolleyes:

Well... thats is clear to me. My question was more specific on what exactly does it do? Because if it was "only" to supply vacuum, why not use a simple T junction? Why does it has an arrow showing the direction of the air/vacuum flow?

Thanks hd3... luckily my brakes always worked well and were never solid or hard... only with the engine off, of course. So it is a "vacuum check" valve? I thought it was some "one-way" valve or so. Why my EGR solenoid was connected there? Besides, there is no other place to connect the EGR...

I did the quick "long stick throttle" test and saw that the VNT actuator on the turbo moves when throttle is pressed. It does move slower than I expected though. I was hoping to see a much quicker movement. When I stop being lazy (and the weather improves), i will try to disconnect MAF (i hate...

Hi Dan and Guinea, you are both right. Td4 reg 53 (just updated the thread). I did the test with the tongue before. Hence I discovered my ERG and Turbo vacuum hoses split. But I read that you need high vacuum for long period of time and the "tongue method" will only tell you about a big hole or...

Thanks Dan, I will scan it again and see what comes out. As i said before, no error or issue, or misreading was shown last time i used diagnostic (even using a professional garage tool in a proper garage £50 for that). Although, my EGR vacuum hose and reservoir-solenoid turbo hose were...

Very interesting tips. I will wait the weather to improve to try those. No rough idle and start first time always. Sticky brakes only in extremely wet/damp weather (as normal for FLs). No dragging at all. The reason I suspect the vacuum-break relation is because the brake servo is vacuum...

Thanks again for the help. I used OBD some time ago... MAF and MAP read ok. (to all of my knowledge) I suspect on the vacuum due to the connection with the brakes. If i don't use brake at all, response is much quicker... issue is... I don't know where the leak is ( I changed most of the hoses...

Sorry, how to use water or carb cleaner to test vacuum? (the hoses suck air, therefore will not produce bubbles). I tried to disconnect MAF months ago... seems stuck. (and i'm afraid to break it)

I will update the thread: turbo filter new, air filter new, there could be an injector dribbling indeed (but I do not want to pay for new or cleaning now) I'm not aware where the fuel filter is or the difficulty to change it. Will have a look.

I haven't checked that because I thought it would only affect power at high speed/high revs. one can clearly hear the turbo "kick-in" at 1850rev. (well... there is a noise of "spinning"/"whistling" at least) without load (in neutral gear). With load, there is the fore-mentioned sluggish. I...

Thanks 4x4Dog. I created a new thread on the case. https://www.landyzone.co.uk/land-rover/throttle-delay-low-power-from-stop.295115/ Answering your question, it is kind of sluggish RPM. Once it reaches 2000+rev it goes like a rocket. Do you think is there anything related to the gearbox...

Hi folks... apologies if its a repost or wrong thread. Basically i have an opposite problem most of people here. I have a huge delay (about 2-3s) from stop to power run... after this delay (and after 2000rev.), everything works fine. It is a sort it is kind of sluggish RPM. Once it reaches...

I'm glad to help. Although I haven't solve my own problem yet. Apparently i have an opposite problem as everyone else. I have a huge delay (about 2-3s) from stop to power run... after this delay, everything works fine. Basically if am in a stop position (foot on break pedal - as I have an...
