Thread: D3 TDV6 2.7 possible diesel leak

Also did EGR blank and removed the pipes & butterfly. FW patch from BAS loaded.

Took it for a run and seems to have more down low.

Monday it goes in for the transmission to be removed and sent off for overhaul.

cheers

Good job. Was it obvious why was it leaking?

yes mate you could see the wetness around the injector and where the leak off pipe plugs in. It is quite common I have found out.

What I have noticed though is that the pipes that run down to fuel cooler and up to the top of the pump are not clamped, just pushed on. Looking at the pipes where they fit over the pipes I can see no signs of a clamp ever being these.

Is this normal? Anyone know?

There’s three nifty clamps that hold the supply and return pipes in parallel up the side of the motor and on top. They are plastic and snap easily especially if you don’t know they are there. I bought two new from LR at some ridiculous price. I noticed later one of the shops LR Direct I think has them.

You should see the remnant broken base of where they attach

those are all missing on mine, the pipes are flopping about. I put a cable tie on them as a temp measure.

Would you have the P/Ns for those?

Ridiculous price, it is a landrover everything is a ridiculous price!

The middle item but pretty sure I saw listed on one of the UK sites I think LR Direct

ok thanks for that. any idea on those hoses on top of the pump as to whether they should have clamps?

No clamps they are quite rigid once the pipes are secured
