In true Land Rover fashion you fix one thing and another goes😂😂 Luckily Jimmy was on the case sorted next day if it was at a Dealership it could easily have been a few weeks later job
Plastic parts on an expensive car!!! No wonder they are unreliable. Note. This mechanic repaired these faults basically one handed,as he was holding a camera. Impressed,subscribed.
Glad you had an understanding customer as it can be a nightmare when you come across multiple faults, fixing the worst one only makes the next fault move up to be the worst fault!
Early 3.0 tdv6 end up with alot of oil in the intake, Had a couple try and run on 😳 be careful revving them up. They revised the oil return on the o/s secondary turbo, can retrofit it as a kit. Also if you watch live data on the later ones they activate the turbo (via tsov) if you leave it idling for 3 minutes to help clear oil build up! Remove the compressor switch over valve csov and drain the intercooler get a fair bit out. Work at a Land rover specialist for my sins
You must always leave something broken on a Landrover, if you fix it something else will break as seen here. So never fix everything, It's in their soul to do that.
The EGR is intended to reduce the amount of fresh air in the inlet so that NOx is reduced when peak power isn’t demanded. Pumping losses due to the air filter and anything else are avoided. From that point of view it works. The EGR cooler makes the charge air at the inlet valve more dense, leading to higher effective compression with low oxygen, avoiding a lean burn condition. From that point it works. When the EGR works it’s good for the driver. When it doesn’t and the coolant ends up in the exhaust instead of the radiator, that is a reliability problem not a design problem
@@theairstig9164 you are correct stig, however from a performance and reliability point of few we always want fresh, cold and dense air in our combustion Chambers, not spent exhaust gases!
@@theairstig9164 The way I look at egr's is that you shouldn't get a human to eat it's own shite. any other benefit as you've described can be easily replicated with the design of the engine, and by that I mean real design and not trying to polish a turd with bolt on bits with a limited service life.
That was lucky and unlucky at the same time. Unlucky for Jimmy that it developed a major coolant leak whilst he was working on the throttle body fault. Lucky for the customer that it didn't happen whilst belting down the motorway, with the possibility of over-heating complications.
Bravo once again Jimmy , a real mechanic at work. Braver man than most working on anything JLR worse cars ever made (from a mechanics point of view) in my opinion.
Great job! Wish I lived close to you - I have a CMax with DPF partly clogged and I don't trust the DPF cleaning shops here. Ford doesn't clean and says "install a new DPF".
@@JakeyandSpikey Thanks, but I tried that. Needs to be checked with a scantool, to see what is the problem - DPF alone, or something causing the DPF to block. Last couple of years, this has been a city car, with multiple short trips and no motorway time, except for that 300km trip I did to see if it would clean, but it no longer tries to regenerate - needs a Jimmy 🙂
Most diesels are bought for the wrong reasons Economy however you need to be doing over 15000 miles a year for the costs to work out Then they're driven on short journeys and don't get to regenerate the dpf Plastic parts is just down to costs
Had the same thing happen to me on a xf jag while looking for a mysterious boost leak. When I pulled the throttle valve away from the inlet stubs to get to the water housing it broke & I reckon it always had a crack in it that was blowing onto that water housing and cooked it.
Ah the good old Range Rover these will help you get the kids through university jimmy😊, even mechanics I know who have Range Rover themselves say they spend a lot of time fixing their own cars, I asked one why did he own one he said his wife loves travelling it it especially when towing the caravan
Any awareness would be good, the reason pretty much no cars have a indicator of when theyre regenerating is because the average driver would just be bringing it back to the dealer every time the warning came on, so instead the car just tries to do it at random and usually doesnt finish, resulting in all the problems we face.
Actually that's not a thermostat housing but just a inexpencive coolant pipe cross, should be replaced every couple of years and its very easy to do it.
Having fun with my SDV6 at mo, RESTRICTED PERFORMANCE 😂 only code I get is P006A-00 pending MAP, mass or volume air flow correlation. Issues being, some one didn't put a MAF back in carefully & the Oring to air filter was trapped badly, also the air bix housing joint going into the throttle body unit was crooked, part of the moulding was hitting a pipe forcing it out, so removed a plastic moulded fin that was catching the pipe, then the MAP sensor was some what grubby so tried cleaning it but still get the same code, whether under throttle, cruising downhill or just slowly driving. Sometimes it's RP every 2miles, sometimes not for 20-50miles. Thinking of changing the MAP sensor or the whole throttle body. Replaced the Oring in the MAF & cleaned those aswell. Bit of head scratching at mo. 😁
Had the same thing happen on a Jaguar XF! 😩🥵 it’s the coolant water outlet pipe it was a pain I the ass! They leak for a Little while then after reving a few times at standstill the pressure splits it in half! 🙄
l'm not a mechanic but there seems to be a lot of plastic parts on these modern engines. Only had one fairly modern diesel vehicle (2001 Caddy Sdi) and it looked quite basic in comparison, had an EGR valve but no particle filter.
The mokka is one of the worst things to happen to humanity in history absolutely horrible things they are steering and pedals don’t even feel connected to the car

@@MrByootox I didn’t say they were super reliable. But when they’re working there’s not a lot to touch them even as road vehicles. There’s also a popular myth that everything else is reliable because the garages around here have plenty of Audi, Mercedes BMW etc all on their ramps
@@hughmarcus1can't really disagree with that either, bought a Bimmer 4 years ago and whilst it's Comfy big barge it's not been a reliable or cheap thing to run 🙈😂
Do you have any live data difference pressure readings from a dynamic test, not a static? 6th gear and flat down from low revs to max? Before and after your cleaning process?
Ive a vivaro 2.0l tdci camper and just had a dpf fitted after the old one blocked up up scotland due to a stupid machanic fitting a cheap £16 sensor and now 2 month on the engine management loghts come back on and the red stop light. I dont think the machanic who fitted the new dpf got rid of all the fault codes after fitting it as it was the same who fitted the £16 sensor ime gitted as not been able to go away for xmas. Any ideas what could be wrong would be helpful. Ohh and its now blowing white smoke out the exhaust and makes a sucking gurgling noise when i take the fuel cap of
Do you think it was the tap you gave the throttle body that damaged the housing underneath? Trying to figure out what caused it before I undertake this job, as I don’t want to have any further complications when I do it
If cars just had a simple turbo diesel engine they would run indefinitely, all this shit fitted to them now puts them in the scrapyard in 10 years, good for the environment?
Iv done all that with a 3.0 Discovery ended up blanking the EGRs - now have a 3.0 X5 that also suffers from typical diesel injector blockage - no warning car just cuts out going along which is pretty dangerous the injectors not cheap job either - reliable diesels ?? Money pits
A Range Rover, getting taken home on the back of a wagon!! Thats a sight you don't see every day 🤔 Ah, wait! It "IS" a sight you see every day. I know because I'm stupid. Sold my E350 Mercedes wagon for an unreliable piece of 💩💩 made by "That'll Do" in Solihull 🙈
Typical JLR product. I was sent job details from JLR dealership (same group that had Volvo, where I worked), they were offering £36k basic, 4 day week and guaranteed £1k a month productivity bonus. You could double that offer and I still wouldn’t take it. My sanity is worth a ton more than £48k 😂
This reminds me of an Australian friend's advice: "If you want to enjoy a trip to the Outback, take a Range-Rover. If you want to enjoy the trip back, take a Toyota." Or a Nissan.
Inputting DPF replacement without replacing the dpf created massive problems in the future and is just a lazy way to clear the fault code. Why not do a dynamic regeneration, and spray some crap directly into dpf, without the car (knowing about) regenerating anything? The diagnostic tool obviously shows you by remaining dpf volume that you didn’t clean anything from the dpf. So now the dpf is full and the car thinks it’s a brand new one. Now you need to actually replace the dpf in order to the actual values to match up with the computer. Congrats, you just created a multi-thousant £ problem.
Not true. After 5 minutes of measuring differential pressure on DPF, the soot mass and %of DPF blockage will be updated. Not a single thing goes wrong when you tell the car there is a new DPF inside. It's only risky if it's completely blocked and you tell it's a new one. You could damage the engine in those 5 minutes when the car is not in limp mode.

Exhaust gas recirculation is the worst thing to happen to the combustion engine

Add DPF, GPF/PPF and adblu to that list
Jimmy after watching your videos i would never buy a range rover good job mate 👍👍
It wasn’t like that when it came in 😂
😬
if you want your car worked on if anything goes wrong don't blame the mechanic because it only went wrong because it was broken or about to break
You really do know your mechanics. Fascinating to watch.
Cheers jimmy, these Engines remind me of Cheap Condensing Gas Boilers, always leaking and full of Chinesium Plastic.

Be sure something else will fail whilst on the motorway
@@esbrasilljust one thing? 😂
If he was there any longer something else would have broken.

See if you select vehicle type manually then select Range Rover 3.0 year 2013 it gives you reading on differential pressure on live data

'Range Rover' and 'goes wrong' - four words always so close together.
Nice work very well done😊
I think "dpf care" should be part of the theory test.

Bloody lucky that housing let go with the car being worked on, stationary, and not on the motorway and cooked the engine.

Brother, do you see all the metal shavings in the pipes? The car probably won't last long with the amount of metal shavings visible.
That coolant leak looked bad, imagine, just when you fixed it.
Maybe the whack on the throttle plate somehow caused it? Looks like it’s a known weakness and would’ve failed soon anyway.
