ZeroDelta Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 Hi, I have a 53 plate Freelander 1 TD4 with just under 100k on the clock. The problem I have that the fuel economy has dramatically decreased and starting from cold it is slow going from 1000 to 2000 rpm - above 2000rpm all is fine. So far I have replaced the MAS, cleaned the EGR, put injector cleaner through it and taken it to a Land Rover dealer to run diagnostic on it - still no difference. The dealer cannot find a problem via the computer and my local garage suggested that it may be a glow plug problem, but they were not totally sure. Prior to the problem a turbo hose split which caused a massive power reduction and lots of black smoke out the back... I am at an absolute loss as to what the problem is and so are the garages, can anyone help? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leeh1306 Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 Hi there have you checked the turbo boost hoses and filter? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 My dramatic loss of power was down to split vacuum hoses (they were split at the ends so kept falling off whatever they were connected to) - once they were all replaced, there were no more problems. Cost was a few quid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZeroDelta Posted January 26, 2013 Author Share Posted January 26, 2013 Hi Guys, forgot to say that I had one of the vacuum hoses replaced too, but good call. Also I have changed a split turbo hose, but not checked the filter - will do that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
