    D3 fuel filter water sensor

    Came across this

    LAND ROVER DISCOVERY 3 DIESEL FUEL FILTER WATER SENSOR | eBay

    On fleabay, is this a genuine part? And if so does that mean the D3 diesel comes with a built in water sensor in the fuel filter?

    Not much info on the listing.

    I think this quote from the ebay site gives it way:
    "MANUFACTURER REFERS TO THE MAKE OF VEHICLE THIS ITEM IS SUITABLE FOR AND NOT THE MANUFACTURER OF THE ITEM!"

    A bit cheeky really!

    Ah yes I think you are right. it would be useful to know a bit more about how it works and what it does and how you install it wouldn't it.

    I think that a water sensor is included as standard in the fuel filter from 2007 model LR3's. They changed the design in that year.

    That looks like the standard fitting at the bottom of the 07MY on fuel filter. The only reason you would buy one of these is if you damaged the one fitted to your car.

    So I have a 2009 D3, I assume then that I have one. What happens if it senses water? A warning icon? Shut down?

    I am not sure - I assume the red engine fault comes on - meaning stop engine straight away.

    I have checked my handbook and nothing seems to be there.

    It would seem that there is a an indication "Water in Fuel" but not covered in the handbook.

    DISCO3.CO.UK - View topic - Water in fuel

    DISCO3.CO.UK - View topic - water in fuel

    DISCO3.CO.UK - View topic - water in fuel warning

    If you search "water fuel sensor" there is a whole more.

    On the D4 its an amber warning light. Mine gave the water in fuel warning every time the sensor wiring connector got splashed with water until I smothered the connector in silicone.
