Thread: TDV6 High Pressure Fuel Pump

Hi Guys, I had the same problem with myD3 2009 would drop to bump stops go in limp mode only did this intermittently for over 3 to 4 months. Changed alternator went good for a few more weeks then the same problems. Took it to my landrover guy who put it on his computer where it said 100% electronic brake problem 30% HPFP we changed the hand brake. Went a few more weeks then same deal. Changed the HPFP and now 3 months later and 15000klm later going great. So after going through everything that could possibly cause the problem I would confidently say change the HPFP and and you will have no more problems.

Anyone tried to replace the hpfp themselves? Seems you could save a lot as labour cost is quite high.

Good question. In the last 3 days mine has gone from one error every couple of hundred Ks to 6 or 7 per day, I'll be finding out sooner rather than later.

Ewe. It would have to be a right PITA. There is so little access to it at the back, plus all the fuel lines connecting into it. It’ll be such a pain unless you know it intimately. Good luck if you try.

I realise it is not something that is easily done. I helped my brother, a truck diesel mechanic put a HPFP in a Nissan Navara.

Lots of traps for young players.

I did the high pressure fuel pump a year ago, no one could tell me if it was going to be the high or low definitively but I took the plunge and almost a year on no issues.

I was having gearbox error restricted performance faults and going to limp mode sometimes not for two months then 6 times in a matter of 10 minutes. It was extremely frustrating but so irregular I managed to drive a caravan to tassie and back just by turning the car off when it happened and back on again.

So so happy to have that issue behind me.

Fyi Yi I got an indie to do it for 3k - Land Rover was going to be 6k but they were going to do both the high and low.

I know Disco WA ( Roger ) done the replacement himself , he's a top bloke I am sure if you sent him a PM he would happily let you know how difficult and what you will or won't need .

i may be having to do mine as I have similar issues , and have purchased the 2 main lines that come off the pump as they are single use only according to the Land Rover manual.
