Geert DCPU Posted September 26, 2018 Share Posted September 26, 2018 (edited) Problems - again - with the motor going in to 'limp-mode': Warning light in dashboard coming up (orange engine management light), engine falling down to max 2000 rpm. Read out on the ECU shows: P0101 - Mass or Volume Air Flow Circuit Range/Performance Problem Replaced: - sensor air mass meter - air mass meter - cleaned the EGR-valve (replaced only 7 or 8000km ago) - hoses replaced by silicone ones (one had a small rip, so replacement was necessary anyhow) Drove over 600km this weekend without failure, now had the same problem on 2 occasions: Warning light + limp mode / turning engine off removes the limp mode / after 4 or 5 times restarting the engine: warning light goes down and all going to normal. Any ideas how to fix this? Mrs. G suggested setting fire to it could solve any futur problems , but that 's a bit drastic... I love driving the defender but reliability is at it's low, so in 'not happy'-mode right now.

Geert DCPU Posted October 29, 2018 Author Share Posted October 29, 2018 Update: rather unfortunate coincidence: two unrelated failures on the air-intake system giving the same error code. - as mentioned: ripped airhose - and a faulty intercooler (housing is coming apart) Also replaced the injectors: injectors giving too much diesel cause overpressure, overpressure goes into airintake after the airmassmeter, MAF-sensor along the line reads other data than airmassmeter and causes the F0101/limpmode. In my case the injectors were tested, they gave too little diesel - replacement was advised. For now problems solved, up to the next!

Geert DCPU Posted October 31, 2018 Author Share Posted October 31, 2018 Selling my previous def (110 td5 SW) was my most regretted decision ever... Driving it was no longer sensible (read: affordable), due to exploding tax-regulations in Belgium. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
