Fuel Problem Stage 2

Denis
Can you please let us know the trouble with the injectors; to me and I've been around diesels most of my life, to have 4 injectors go at the same time is very puzzling :eek: Unless there was fuel contamination or on common rail diesels a harness fault ??? I just wonder did all that movement around your fuel tank kick some krudd loose and into the fuel system.
Once or twice a year if you don't use a diesel additive, it's good insurance to use a fuel (anti-algae ) conditioner.
I hope it's just dirty nozzles for your wallets sake.

yeah, doesn't sound right to me.

IMO if you carry a laptop on your travels then the pick is AllComms. You pay for the cable and then his software is free and often updated - download from his site but the software only works with his cable.
MKIII All Comms

Like Gary I have IIDTool which is handy as it doesn't need a laptop and lives in the car, but it is painfull using the tiny screen after you are used to PC/Tablet based systems. It also doesn't have a complete data base and often returns "unknown code" with the 4 digit number, which you then have to find out what it is. After using other systems that have a complete DB, it ****s me to have to go and find what the code is - the kit should translate it - thats the point of a dedicated diognostic kit - it doesn't have to do anything else! (can anyone tell it returned a couple of 4 digit codes recently...)

Hi Fellas

As promised I am now submitting my update on the car.
Landrover Orange nailed it. 6 new fuel injectors and the car is reborn.
Appreciate all the support and help given to me by all on this forum.
Cheers guys until next time.........Hopefully NOT.
Can't help lovin this car.
Denis.

Hi Laurie and Harlie
I use fuel additive on a regular basis. The injectors when the backflow test was done showed one injector very very bad and another was nearly as bad and two others below requirement. This confirmed the diagnostic readings.The fuel was not going to the engine and returning to the tank, hence my symptoms was loss of power and very difficult to start.
This was a completely new problem to the pump in the tank which made the car stop at half a tank. I queried the guys in Orange could it have something to do with the work done in the tank. They were definite No as anything would not get past the filter. They tested the filter flow and it was perfect. They told me the injectors were the original and so I opted to replace the six of them.
Very big chance I got crook fuel as I travel a lot with the caravan.

Hi Boys
Bringing all you helpers up to date. I am still on my trip and as you know had the in tank pump replaced at Ballina. Got as far as 19 days of travelling and guess what: The in tank pump failed.
Had it replaced as well as in line pump at Warrnambool and bringing failed pump home to pursue Landrover for refund.
Now I have another question:
Intermittently after turning the engine off I am experiencing a carry over of about three seconds.Us old boys used to call it pre ignition.
Any thoughts on the cause of this would be much appreciated.
Thanks again
Denis
