Thread: D4 2.7 fuel flap sticker

If allergic to DIESEL, make yourself a cuppa, read a book and have some acupuncture?


Or check your oil every 600 miles, top up as required, rear the users manual for oil type and more information?

There's some lateral think for you. Here's me thinking that a sticker on the fuel flap had something to do with fuel; some additive I had to remember to do.

The English language is sort of history now with Land Rover. I guess the positive spin would be that it is a world 4x4, hence pictures now, no words. What surprises me is that they actually did use the word Diesel - seems to me in France it is Gazoil or something like that and not to be confused with Gas Oil which is tax free diesel, (farm use), in the UK I think.

The little book picture with the i letter is something to do with some written instructions somewhere, probably in English, (surprise).

The "tea pot" with the drip relates back to the days of oil lamps and the pyramids I guess.

The triangle, I forget what that means - maybe warning or caution.

The dipstick, well the good news is your engine at least still has one. The new V8 petrol engines do not.

The 1000 km / 600 miles is I suppose telling you to check the engine oil everytime you fuel up which you probably do already.

Yes, all this pictograph stuff gets to me sometimes. I recall that just recently I finally figured out what the sticker on the fender near the battery meant, and how many years has that been - five?

Regarding Additive, I wonder if Mercedes has anything on their diesel fuel flaps re that BlueTec fluid where the BlueTec tank has to be topped up at every oil change or thereabouts? Fortunately Land Rover is not into that technology yet.

I think I may have to go back to school.

Refer to owners manual for warnings/cautions.

The 'tea pot' on a gas burner next to a dip stick, both drippiing oil...so...check oil when the vehicle is at operating temperature ie. warm oil.

Wouldn't it have been easier to write "Check oil every 1000km"? I'm sure there's room on the sticker.

Or better still, have a message pop up on the carputer display.

They don't fancy their chances with an Oiler and yearly sevice intervals ?
Now it's check your oil all the bloody-time ? Does the poverty pack 2.7 not
have the all singing-dancing electronic monitor display ?

My 3lt has the same sticker, with dip stick sign,

The triangle is a notice, vs warning vs danger. There's a std for them as to the level of potential for death. I think in the front of RAVE there's an explanation of them. But basically, you need to check this, look in book for instructions (thats this triangle and book). Next is you may be hurt if you don't listen to the book and next will be hurt/may die and finally you will die.

So this could be:

attention, read book or boiling oil may explode and kill you, douse in diesel from an eyedropper.
