Thread: "Restricted Performance"

Our 2010 3.0 tdv6 has had this restricted performance going on for some time with the orange light showing intermittently, particularly after reversing??

Anyway, now the warning is showing red intermittently and chopping performance dramatically. Some good tips on this thread of how to beat the P006a error but what is the hose shown on page 2? Bottom intercooler hose?
Thanks

It's the intercooler hose. About a meter long and 3inches thick (basically the bigggest pipe in the engine bay).

It goes from the top of the engine on the drivers side down to the very bottom to where the radiator is. Access is easy and only has two clamps to get the pipe out.

Check for leaks/cracks

Awesome, thanks for the info

So took the Disco to the dealer for the diagnosis and they have come back with the drivers side inlet manifold being cracked, which is fair as there is oily soot all over the RHS inlet.

Now the fun part, $6625 to repair. $176 per hour for labour, holy well paid mechanics Batman.

I get the manifolds, do both because the other will fail, but they are saying the fuel injector pipes both side and the rails both sides are all single use couplings so once they come apart, cannot be re-used.

Can anyone shed any light on this as it is 70% of the parts cost and they just look like nut and olive fittings to me.

The parts catalogue shows injector refitting kits containing a new pipe, new gasket and o-rings.
