Custo Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 Hi, I have a Freelander td4 2006 . It's done 130,000 I bought it about 8 months ago it's in really good order but about 2 weeks ago it started to feel like it was starved of fuel every so often, just missing a beat now and again. Although the garage told me it had been serviced I wasn't sure so a fitter friend of mine changed the fuel filter and for a short time it ran ok but now it's struggling more, today I towed a trailer a couple of miles and when I put my foot down there was huge clouds of black smoke. But it still runs fine apart from hunting now and again. Any ideas . Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glenlivet Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 Sounds like your turbo hose has split. A common problem, usually accompanied by the sound of rushing wind on acceleration. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Custo Posted July 22, 2017 Author Share Posted July 22, 2017 Thanks I will check but not noticed any sound . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PatM Posted July 22, 2017 Share Posted July 22, 2017 Definitely sounds turbo-related- the black smoke for one thing. Also, try it WITHOUT an air filter...just in case! But don't leave it out for too long! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FridgeFreezer Posted July 23, 2017 Share Posted July 23, 2017 Check the turbo hoses for splits & rubbing against things, also check the vacuum pipes (about 6mm rubber pipes) for splits & rubs & that they haven't come loose, those are used to move the turbo vanes so a split pipe means the turbo isn't doing what it needs to. Same goes for the EGR system. All of these are cheap & easy to replace. Are there any warning lights on? An OBD diagnostic tool might be a few quid well spent. There may be a forumer near you who'd lend you one, if you fill out your profile we'll know where in the world you are 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
