- Step-by-step guide to replacing a Garrett turbo in a 2008 pre-facelift Land Rover Freelander 2 (L359).
Please note that I do work on my car as a hobby, I am not a mechanic by trade. The video is based on the removal and instal process that I undertook.
If you are considering a replacement yourself but are not confident about the process, then you should have the work undertaken by a competent mechanic / specialist. I accept no liability if mistakes are made that cause damage to your vehicle or affect the performance of the engine.
The exhaust and turbo can be extremely hot so wait for the engine to cool before starting any work.
Great video! Very interesting to see the crank sensor wiring damaged by EGR heat.
Yes that’s the second piece of damaged wiring / loom that I’ve found, the other being near the starter motor on my gearbox video. Might be worth you flagging this on one of your videos Scott as you reach a wider audience.
Been there done it. Its actually easier for access if you drop the sub-frame and suspension off out of the way. Even better, drop the engine on the floor and swap the turbo out.
Brilliant video Gary... Between this and the EGR video - they are gold... The 'yap yap yap' noise you play at the end is one of the faults i have along with a low fuel rail pressure which i have been chasing to no avail. Car conks out on idle and when driving. Im about to jump in with EGR and turbo replacement... i think... but nice if i could sort the fuel rail pressure first before committing to turbo
Thanks for the positive comments Andy, and I’m glad the videos are of help to you 😊
Thank you for posting 👍👍
Lol, I did this a gew months back.
Exhaust manifold to turbo bolts keep coming undone leading to further turbo underboosts.
Considering putting some nuts and threadlock on them
Oh that’s a worry. I did toy with the idea of putting some thread lock on but as the originals were so tight I decided against it. Hope I don’t live to regret that! Did you use new bolts?
@@garyredman642retightened and they came loose a few days later.
Need to get some new bolts I guess.
Can you access the heads of the bolts from the top behind the scuttle panel?
@@user-bc3zs2wn5z sadly I don’t think you can get the bolts out without removing the EGR valve and cooler. You could probably get a spanner in under the cooler to undo them, but I don’t think there would be enough room to withdraw the bolts.
Thanks for putting this up. what milage has your car done please
