Thread: Puma maintenance beyond the schedule

    Hopefully yours has the upgraded clutch springs, so they will not start to rattle at idle. If it does start to rattle at idle, then it's about $1600 for a LR upgraded clutch. But don't do it unless it starts to rattle.

    I'd also be inclined to replace all intercooler hoses with aftermarket silicone ones as the originals are pretty ordinary.
    In my 2013 Puma, after just over 50,000km I had problems with two of these cracking and leaking which puts the engine into "limp home" mode.
    Naturally it happened when I was miles from nowhere!
    Don't forget the short hose under the inlet manifold.

    I suffered the turbo to intercooler hose failure at 40,000km.
    Now running 5 ply BAS silicone and T bar clamps.

    I think the challenge will be to balance the need for replacement with the risk of over-servicing the vehicle, and the associated costs of doing so.
    "Over servicing" is a Far better option than skipping services and preventative maintenance is Always a cheaper/easier option than a breakdown

    and about 10 k away from failing completely.

    One turbo hose came off when I had 370 km on the clock, so much for the dealer delivery check. They said it wasn't an uncommon occurrence. I asked if they even bothered to check it.
    (I wasn't in a good mood as I was on my way to see my dying Father). I has a set changed when it went into limp mode whilst under warranty, recently put a blue set on as the top one
    rubbed through on a hose clamp due to incorrect placement of the said clamp.
