Thread: D3 TDV6 Engine System Failure

Same thing in my D4 yesterday just 50km's from home; 100kmhr, loss of power, Engine System Failure warning.....flat bed truck home (after a great 3500km holiday). Car being delivered to Dealer this morning.

There is another thread on this topic Bigmac - the one about engine D4 engine system failure that seems to be the same thing - http://www.aulro.com/afvb/d3-d4-rrs/...ng-beware.html

turns out that water some how got down the snoorkle and got the air flow meter
wet and the air filter was also wet. the rain was heavy but I didn't think it would
suck in water with the head of the snoorkle facing towards the back as I hadn't turned it around since going through the locust plague in Vic.
They also said that there were a lot of locust in the bottom of the air cleaner box,
I had cleaned it out after going through them they must have been in the snoorkle
tube.

Interesting. I checked mine (air filter) and it was as new. Lots of locusts on the trip too - but none in the airbox. I await my cars diagnosis with interest.

Hi Bigmac,
Is yours the Safari snorkel or the LR RAI?

TIA,
Peter

It would have to be safari if it was turned around

Hi Ken,
That's what I thought, but I just wanted to be sure.

Best Wishes,
Peter

my car is back on the road too - seems a battery terminal was loose leading to a voltage drop and they also "identified a software glitch" (?!)
cheers!
