    TD4 Fuel Rail problem anyone?

    Errrm, they didnt say which part was corroded. They used the sentence "The fuel rail connector is corroded". They then cleaned it up. So, if I was going to try and figure this bit out myself where should I start looking....? Your symptoms seem to hit the nail on the head. Although it is...

    TD4 Fuel Rail problem anyone?

    Thanks for the reply Clutchdust. I'm not technical, so unfortunately I have to listen to the sh*t they spout. Which is why I go on the internet to find out what is actually going wrong... So they say the fuel rail connector is corroded, and the whole thing needs changing. But I can just...

    TD4 Fuel Rail problem anyone?

    Hello, Having had my TD4 in a garage for 15 days with them looking at potential turbo problems, it was decided that it was carbon build up on the wastegate vanes. Some kind of engine cleaner was added to the engine and for about 8days the car ran sweetly. A couple of days ago it started...

    02 TD4 engine problems - black smoke etc

    Hmmmmm, maybe not then.... still loads of black smoke. ...and to add insult to injury, a nice whining noise when I get over 15mph. I think this is coming from the back end, and is possibly the rear diff. Brother in law had a quick look, and we dont think its a wheel bearing. Another trip...

    02 TD4 engine problems - black smoke etc

    Went back to the LR garage this morning. They plugged the car in to the computer and found there was a problem with the fuel rail something or other. The connector was found to be corroded and dealt with by the mechanic. They spent an hour on it, and did not charge - which was great service...

    02 TD4 engine problems - black smoke etc

    Oh no, I here you all say - not another one (have spent 20mins reading every other Td4 owners tales of woe!!) I gave my TD4 steptronic auto hippo the luxury of a full main dealer service at 84k, and amongst other things it had 2 turbo pipes changed (dont ask me which ones...) I wanted LR to...
