Thread: A few questions

keith,
just from my investigations and speaking the dpl before:
rocker cover mod is to reduce oil vapour entering the air intake system via the blow-by lin coming off the top of the rocker cover. uses some baffles to hold the oil in the engine side whilst still allowing blow-by to occur. not aware of it assisting the oil/harness issue but interested to hear more.

airflow meter is the the device just down from the airbox with a plug attached, sometimes just taking it out and giving it a clean with contact cleaner is enough to fix.

i/c hoses, i just received mine from bas recently but looking at the site yesterday they have changed some of the pricing and now charging more for international postage, obviously more buyers from o/s than expected so having to cover costs. look at the news tab Diesel performance and economy remap chip tuning for Landrover Defender Discovery TD5 Puma TDV6 TDV8 and scroll down to the td5 hoses.
cheers

thanks Yorkie
I will try cleaning the airflow meter mind you I do not know what problems it has caused if any as I have not noticed any drop off in performance and am reluctant to replace it if I don't know what problems it is causing.
cheers Keith

Keith,

If you let us know where abouts you are located, odds are good that there is someone here close by that might be able to help you thru a few things in person.

Oh, and in case I missed it previously, welcome to the clan...

The airflow meters are quite common to go tits up, if they do the ECU goes to a default fueling map. You probably would not have noticed "that" much difference since its happened, (I didnt till I found it defective) how ever once I had changed mine, my MPG went back up by 2-3 mpg and it didnt loose "as much" power when going up long climbs.

The fact you have had your car tuned, to get the "best" from it, you really want the ECU reading the modified fuel map as opposed to the "default" one.
