2.2 Puma Oil Filter

EGR bypass map done.
Wound the tune up as it is now not limited by the egr pressures and feels alot smoother down low. Holds gears extremely well on all hills.
I will wait a few tanks before finding the gains in fuel economy.

Thanks, intriguing.

Back to original post re oil filter...who's found the best value supplier of genuine 2.2 filters and correct Castrol oil?

I recently bought a genuine spin on filter for the 2.2 for $34 from the dealer. They initially tried to get $42 out of me!
Also, today I ordered a 20L drum of Castrol Edge Professional A5, 5w30 (the correct oil for a non-DPF 2.2 puma) for $215.

Excuse my ignorance but how do you go about getting a remap done? Who does it? Thanks.

The two places on the top of my map list would be either
BAS Performance Remaps. Landrover tuning at its best!

or
Alive Tuning

Either drop Pete at bellautoservices or Gary at Alive, a line. Both have put a hell of a lot of time and research into the products they offer, and will answer any questions you may have.

My 2 would be BAS and then IRB...

Its mounted towards the back of the engine on the passenger side. The yellow cap is where the electrical connector goes. You just need a flat blade screwdriver to release it.

I find the difference in performance is more noticable after I've had it disconnected for a period of time and then reconnect it (i.e. taking for a visit to the dealer). The engine will feel sluggish and out of sorts.

I wouldn't recommend unplugging it as a long term solution, but more a temporary fix til you can get a remap done.

In time I plan to physically remove all the EGR components and use the coolant hoses to plumb in a 240v forced circulation block heater. But thats after the warranty has run out.

Howzit Tom just a quick question on the above

By long term solution do you mean once the warranty is up after 3 years (2 left on mine) you would then get the remap done instead of just unplugging it? I imagine you wouldn't get it flashed while the dealer is still is taking care of it?

Thanks in advance

Does anyone know if the oil filter is flooded when the engine is not running ? IE, can i replace it and just have to deal with the oil thats in the filter, or will more oil come out behind the filter ?

cheers Cookie

As already mentioned, you will only have to deal with the oil in the spin on filter.

Just as a side note, there is a small amount of 2.2lt, first model that used the oil filter cartridge the same as the 2.4lt, same position just a bit more messy to change out.

Keep in mind either way, its the soot content and other impurities that load up in the oil that is the biggest issue, that the filter wont filter. But IMHO... I've actually always done 5000km oil changes on my own vehicles. No its not something I promote as 10,000km servicing is perfectly acceptable, but the choice is yours...
