I have never touched the cam cover and having into account that it is a cam cover off job I need to become acquainted with this job. Thanks a lot for all your help, our car is running well just because of your advices other wise it was running lean and I was thinking that I can´t solve blow-by...

No, I have neither replaced nor cleaned the oil vapor separator guaze. Do you do it by yourself? Any site or video where to look for this replacement? I can try to see the impact on oil deposition. The guaze is also used in oil catch tanks to improve the oil separation by increasing contact...

You know? I did not feel odour previously with the old duct in the car, I just found the oil while replacing the MAF or air filter, but not odour in the car.

May be you are right. I have been thinking on it. But 3 years ago we had to purchase new VIS motors after getting relevant errors and one of them was really oily. I read this later: "Oil catch tank may help to prevent gumming up as a result of an oily residue deposited on the inside of the...

Hi Guys, I have a have good news, although I don't know how long it will last. After replacing the air flow duct PHD000120 and the MAF (both parts were replaced by new ones) the car is running without errors. The mechanics found some small cracks on the lower part of the duct, but the car still...

The mechanics of the dealer replaced the timing belts yesterday and I asked them to clear the adaptive maps as only the dealer has a T4, I could not found other owners. They found that the big hose from MAF to the throttle body was cracked near the collar that fixes it to the throttle. They...

Dear bukko and Nodge68, Nice news for me, a new idea I will try to realise the soonest possible. And a very good explanation. Pardon for my late response, but I have been out. Be sure I will return with my feedback whatever the results. Thanks a lot.

Mix too lean was all the time before replacing the "T" hose MLH500200, in which mechnics found a leakage, just after replacing it the car began to show the Mix to rich. The replacement of the MAF had no efect on car´s behaviour. Last time we had sometimes lean and sometimes rich mixes and know...

Yes, it has 4 O2 sensors, as you said, 2 before the cats and 2 post cats. The changed sensor were the two before the cats, as they signal on lean or rich mixtures. The two sensors at the cats outputs are more for ecologic issues. Well, that was the explanation I received. Yes, the MAF is not OEM.

I take the decision to change the MAF sensor because las time when the mechanics get the car they cleared the Siemens MAF and after that I feel hesitation on the road.

My car has two cats and two post cat sensors, one per each cat. Unfortunatelly I can refer to the LR Dealer fon any thing else, the masters repeat that the car is not new, and if I do not see something wrong while in move, just go and don´t worry, blow-by gases and that´s all. I will install the...

That's OK. The fuel trim figures are when driving. The time scale for the measurements I wrote are from two years ago and recorded at irregular intervals, but I recorded the values when I took the reader with me, not always, and then I was upset with those errors and stop recording them. I just...

Thanks one more time. Yes, to find the cause is being very hard. I hope you generate an idea. the trims are listed sequentially, but not for every time the SES lighted, as I did not wrote them all of the time, and in between there were different replacements and all the time the hope that the...

I have tried twice, but the format is not the best. I hope you can see the short and long term fuel trims.
