Thread: Puma Defender Turbo Hose Recall Notice...Who's Received one?

Spoke to a foreman at the local LR dealer this week,he said the 2.2l is causing ****loads of issues,unlike the 2.4.

... and yet when the turbo hose on mine the service guy told me that it was the first he had heard of such a thing happening....

That is a familiar line.The guy i spoke to was probably saying more than he should.

I remember years ago we had issues with bursting disks on York centrifugal chillers.
Nah,never have any issues with them.
But York spare parts were always out of stock of them,because they were failing everywhere.

2.2 V 2.4,...I don't believe there is any "issue" there, particularly with respect to"issues".
If there were any such "issues", they would have been the subject of discussion on the UK Def 11 forum, which they haven't.

NB: Not saying that this "turbo hose" isn't a real pain though, 'cause it is.

I have had all three of my inner coolers hoses replaced now, two of them failed with 20 mm holes in them with less than 50000 km on the clock does anyone have any suggestions on silicone hose upgrades for the puma 2.2 motor ?
Thanks gouldier.

I'm getting a "sports" intercooler sent over from Bells Auto's in the UK, and they supply the silicone hoses. They have them available online. They should be available here in Oz, but getting the part numbers is the hard part.... So I said stuff it and ordered the hoses from them.


The remap will be going on after the first service...... :-) (how do you get a smirking smilie face?)
I am certainly not ashamed of being a 40 something yearold rev' head.... :-)


Cheers,

Phill.

"Gracie" is visiting our Dealer tomorrow for her "turbo hose recall' mod. Also has a cracked brake fluid reservoir which is to be replaced. She will also have her first service.
I hope there are no "complications"?

Has anyone dealt with a dud turbo hose out of warranty? Mine was replaced exactly 12mths ago in Albury when I was driving from Sydney to Melbourne. They scavanged one from a another vehicle to get me going but I don't know if any other mods were done (new/altered bracket) It's now gone again after only 17,000 km. I dropped into ULR in Melbourne and they're going to speak to LR to see what they'll do about it.

This is what it looks like now - you can see clearly where a bolt from the steering has rubbed through.
