- THIS IS A PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE VIDEO THAT WILL POSSIBLY HELP YOU LOWER YOUR FUEL CONSUMPTION ASWELL AS GAIN A LITTLE MORE LOW END TORQUE. I notice myself that if i dont keep these sensors clean i start to use more fuel
This worked a treat for me.. jeep was slow to respond to throttle and was surging when under load between 1500 & 2000 rpm. Cleaned the maf and map sensors like you said and hey presto.. all issues resolved. Thanks for the video, keep up the good work
Great Thanks. Gear box flush is also recommended for fuel economy. Drove mine to the garage with average of 21mpg - drove out at 32mpg!
A que te refieres con enjuagar la caja?
İ have been intrested in LR3 for maybe 7 years, for 4years i have own one 05HSE TDV6 and watched thousands of videos many times serviced my car every 12 months or 7-8k km's BUT first time saw this second air mass flow sensor which on motor! Thank you! İ cannot wait to check mine and cleanup!
No dramas man glad it helped 🤙
Let me no how it goes and if you feel a difference afterwards mate I can imagine yours being pritty dirty if it hasn't been done , keen to hear your findings 🤙
Is it the same with the tdv6
@@tokyrobitiana5367 its also 2.7 tdv6
@@OUTBACKDiscovery honestly no difference felt but i know its not dirry anymore 😁😁😍
Haha this ACTually worked thanks saved me £165 on a new maf
Haha good to hear mate 🤙
Nice one pal . Andy from England. 👍👍👍
Just cleaned the sensors. Thanks very much for this video
No problemo how did they look ?
@@OUTBACKDiscovery A bit like yours in the video. I gave it a good spray. Heading from Cork, Ireland to the UK on a road trip tomorrow so it will be interesting to see any performance improvements.
@@ministry_of_love nice one if it was like mine it will feel a little bit more responsive down low I reckon
@@OUTBACKDiscovery I'll let you know how I get on.
Great trip. Did over 1000 miles. Drove from Cork→Wales→Cornwall→London→Wales→Cork. Great pick up when taking off. Very good fuel efficiency. Thanks again.
Another great video. Thanks mate👍
Thanks for the comments mate really appreciate them 😁
Great vid thanks, came across this so thought I’d have a look at mine today ‘07 D3, 130k miles..the oily filthy gunk in it was unbelievable. My dash reading mpg has shot up. Thanks great tip
Great news Jonathan I do mine every oil change now so it's easier to clean
Epic, will be doing the maf never done that one before.
I also missed a sensor in this video that should be done Rick, the boost air temperature it sits in between the map and the map sensor , facing towards the fire wall push in and turn counter clockwise that's another one worth cleaning
and on that topic have a look into EGR valve delete and blanking plates.
Already done,
Would like to pull my intakes and clean them though there not the cleanest
@@OUTBACKDiscovery be prepared to get filthy dirty, the black residue gets everywhere. fun fun fun.
@@noelwhittle7922 if there anything like my hilux was ill be taking them somewhere to get them properly done took me hours to clean my hilux intake haha
Doing this today thanks for video👍🏻
Nice one dude let me no how bad yours was
@@OUTBACKDiscovery 10 x worse than yours the back one was built up so much when i pulled it out it was same size as the hole it came from, i only have a photo of it no vid.
08 disco 3 hse 138000miles.
@@1srowlings nice it should feel more responsive off the line now if that's the case 🤙
Thanks for the advice you are great !! My sensor was extremely dirty with oil & particles like tar. I noticed that there was a quite improvement in performance after cleaning. But instead of that, main improvement was the exhaust smell and smoke. My 2.7 tdv6 was exhausting intensive smoke on high torque, I think it was because of rich diesel mixture due to dirt. Now it seems to be less smelling and there is no smoke issue, would that be possible :)?
Morning that's great news, I'd say its possible to help settle down smoke at low rpm as it's more responsive through the ecu as it can it's getting proper readings letting you hit boost quicker
Thanks for the clip, I did it but after I have big values of consumption on the car display 🤷♂️
Interesting most just notice a down low torque / power improvement with some times a improvement in fuel economy
I'm thinking it's just a reading fault, after cleaning sensors and change all the filters. Can I reset it some how?
I cleaned my 2008 Disco 3 v6 MAP , fuel went from 9.4 lph to 7.9 lph.
I have the 4.4v8...would appreciate Tim on the engine end sensor location...!
Hey Don I honestly don't no anyone with the V8 petrol I'd love to own one myself eventually , will try do some research though if it was a video would probly be more info and photos that I could find for you rather then me actually showing u in the engine bay
Would that still be of interest to you or not really ?
Hi there i cleaned the one setting on top, now computer says low motor power? Any idea? Thx
Hey mate what did you use to clean the sensor ?,
That is “a tip...”
Hi mate, what are you spraying on the MAF sensor? cheers
Hey Kev just maf sensor cleaner, the one on the video is the CRC MAF sensor cleaner to be exact
@@OUTBACKDiscovery cheers fella! Hope the engine swap is treating you well!
@@kev050177 heard it running for the first time yesterday was stoked
Finishing it off today for a road test
@@OUTBACKDiscovery top job mate! Well done!!!
Do you use brakecleaner for that? Or contact spray?
Ah sorry! I was to soon with moy comment. Got it now! :)
@@cryptopelgrim4751 🤣🍻
Hey mate, so your vehicle is a petrol year? On a diesel are these 3 steps that same. Cheers
Hey mate nah mines a diesel but the same steps for the v8 petrol
I don't think the v6 has the map sensor only the maf apparently
I'd love to live in a country where I can work on the car without any shoes or socks on.
🤣 it's probly not the best thing to be doing , would probly be good for me to live in a colder country so I where shoes while working haha
How do you remove the air temp sensor to clean it, I'm a bit worried if I turn it, it will snap. No dealer near me.
Cheers
There is a little locking tab that needs to be lifted up slightly and then if your looking at it from the driver's seat you need to turn it counter clockwise
@@OUTBACKDiscovery your a legend mate, thank you.
@@alauder5135 no dramas good luck with it 🍻 and merry christmas
@@alauder5135 also I ment to say clock wise not counter my bad
If fuel economy is what your concerned about driving an SUV probably isn't a idea
@kipkipper-lg9vl if your not concerned about making your engine run efficiently and maintaining it correctly you shouldn't own any car 🍻
@@OUTBACKDiscovery even a perfectly running suv gets like what 20 mpg on a good day, a standard sedan 4 cylinder will easily do 45 50 easy, what's your point
@kipkipper-lg9vl my point is its a basic maintenance routine that should be done on any vehicle that helps any car with a map sensor perform better helps with a quicker response and helps your engine run more efficiently
Clearly you didn't understand the point of this video
@@OUTBACKDiscovery i did cus i watched it, my comment was not directly related to the video but adjacent to the topic which is not a criminal offense i think
@kipkipper-lg9vl your comment isn't criminal but still using imperial as a form of measurement is 😉🤣 need to join the dark side and switch over to the metric system like the rest of the world
