    Freelander 2 recall

    Hi Members,

    I am sure some of you are just receiving your possible fuel leak recall notices at the moment, evoque and freelander 2 2013 and late models.
    My question is, hasn't this engine been used for many years why is a problem showing up now, or were there modifications to the previous version.
    I do remember seeing an earlier post regarding this problem, with pictures so maybe they have had to act on it.
    I thought this engine was used in a lot of other vehicles, have not heard of any other recalls.
    I am having mine checked in a few weeks, with A service ouch!!! I would be interested in other members thoughts,.up to 20k now love the car.

    Cheers

    Hi ByronB,

    It is a Peugeot engine, same as used in the 4007. As we have one I checked with Peugeot when I first came across the Freelander 2 recall. They got back to me saying it is just a Land Rover problem, and that the Peugeot is just fine. I now park it away from the Land Rovers. Great engine but still haven't managed the claimed 6.0 Ltrs/100km. We are running just over 7 at present.

    Cheers

    Cheers just make sure you do it within the 12 months, I was going to wait till November, but with 20k I will do it now, don't know how big a delay the recall will put on service bookings.

    Cheers

    I don't quite follow: is the FL2 using a Peugeot engine?
