Given the problem you had, I'm guessing they flashed the computers again and that 'fixed' the problem. Computers can be like that I've noticed, do a software upgrade, have issues, rerun the install and it all works without showing an error message the first time.
My D4 (2.7, Jan 2010 build) is in for some rattles to be fixed, and to have the 'gearbox fault' checked (orange triangle twice now when starting), and they will see if I need the Q093 done.
I feel so dirty now.... ;)
It sounded like rubbish to me. I couldn't think of any hose being described as going from the turbo to the engine without even thinking about the wrong end first bit!Quote:

I've been thinking about what might cause the issue Mowog mentioned after the computer update, and honestly can't think of anything it might be. If it was a missing hose, it would probably not have run at all given the sensors on vehicles these days or popped up an engine fault light. It may have needed a master reboot to settle things - as I said earlier, I've had strange things with adding bits/software to computers where a reload of the software was needed, and have had reboots do nothing where a shutdown/wait a few minutes/turn on have worked a treat.
On another note, I've got the D4 in to have a couple of things looked at: A loud rattle in the rear that COULD be the blanking panel I have instead of the 3rd row of seats (D4 2.7 with no need for the extra's), a systems check as I've had a 'gearbox fault' twice (only an orange triangle that goes away with a stop/start of the engine) and a broken seat height adjuster (delivered that way, just waited to take it back). Here's hoping I don't need too much done, but they are giving me a loaner Freelander2 for the day which is nice.
