Thread: 2.2 puma 130 engine failure

Pulled the cover off mine and had a look today. MY 2016, November 2015 build, seems to have the same injectors as Beery

Dealer is suggesting a replacement engine, as parts to repair are so expensive for Land Rover! Mine is a 2012, used 80% on long country driving, 20% on farm. The Td5 and Tdi s that I have run, have all done to the 200kms, so not too happy with this one. Have been a LR owner since 1977 and this one is No. 13 for me......

Any update on this?
Did Land Rover come to the party?

Mine is MY13

So...I have got the Denso?

Have a look on the other side of the injector cap. The writing is molded into the plastic.

Hi,

This thread is getting a bit old now but it seemed the best thread to post to.

I posted a couple of weeks back that I had a minor overheating problem see <Ultra gauge temperature reading>

MLD suggested an injector check and this was a good recommendation. (Thanks mate!)
The injectors were Denso.

All 4 injectors have failed an injector test.

The test sheets have the following categories :
Electrical, Flushing, Purge, TP1, TP2, TP3, TP4, TP5, TP6, Static Leak, NOP and Grading code. (Is TP short for Throttle Position?).

Injector 1 and 4 failed TP1 and TP2. (see attached sheet for injector 1)
Injector 2 and 3 failed TP1 only.

Now I've heard stories of injector failure causing burnt pistons.

My question is have I caught this issue early or should I get the pistons looked at to see if there is any damage?


Thanks

Kerry

P.S. The Land Rover dealer can get me Siemens injectors which according to this thread were fitted to later 2.2 engines.

*Siemens and VDO are owned by Continental so they are all Conti now.
*the 2.2 are prone to injector failures at round that 100K.
*2.2 injector failures are common in rangers, transits etc.
*I dont test them as the cost is better put towards new injectors.
*The obvious sign is the injectors rattle when cold.

*Well if it doesnt crack a piston, then its fine

also I would check prices, the genuine are round 1200 each, the VDO / Conti are half the price

Thanks Daz, for your regular pearls of wisdom.
