Thread: Red Triangle

Suggest you take it elsewhere, if they're too busy to help then they're not worth your hard earned.

The fact that the car restarted after a RP event indicates no major mechanical issue.

The car tends to protect itself quite efficiently.

You still need to get it checked out, but by someone who actually wants to help you.

I’d bet a EGR valve on way out

Have a read through my similar event Kev:

Restricted Performance Event

PS ... knowledge is power, so much better to get some detail for yourself with iiD tool

How do you grade that replacement in terms of ease and cost? Can any mechanic do it or at least a LR specialist Vs the incredibly high labour rates LR charge?

If it's not too bad I'll wear the cost only because my car is already there but if it's a motsa .... :-(

If they are similarly placed as in the 2.7 they aren't hard to replace, any mech should be able to do it. I would image it should only take 1hr to replace, part cost is 400-600 for a 2.7 or less from os.

Fingers crossed it’s easy and simple.

Best advice is to find a good Indy in Brisbane using this group’s input.

LR rang this morning and stated that there is a dodgy turbo hose.


I'll get all the details when I pick the car up. Just over $300 fitted so not too bad in the big scheme of things. No cost would be better (as in nothing wrong found) but it would always be in the back of my mind that something may pop up at a most inopportune time.

I'm sure an Indy/standard mechanic would do it cheaper but I'd have to pay LR for the diagnostics labour anyway, so in the end would probably cost more and add delay.


Phew ....


Thanks all for your input.

Kev.

Did you get them to do a road test after fitting the hose? Seems like the RP event is boost pressure related, a failed or loose turbo hose is just one aspect.

Mine had turbo replaced (linkage had failed) as well as air control valve and turbo hose, and actuator solenoid all under warranty. FInally the intake plenum o ring ($13 item) had popped.

I guess I'm saying that one error code can affect a whole array of issues, identifying them is helped by each code, but it just pays to do a thorough check
