The free repair to the sticking throttle body isn't filing down the butterfly, it's banging a self-tapper in from underneath - Tbody off - so that it protrudes in just enough to stop the butterfly from knee-locking into the stuck position. Make it so it just barely closes but can't kick-over into the locked position. It's only when it kicks past that last 1 or 2mm that the "stuck" condition arises. Bang it back on, run a position re-learn & save 500 quid. Or 6k in this case. :-) Won't work? Wanna bet? Oh yes it will. I file the tip of the screw flat once it's in, then adjust it so it acts as a physical stop. Bosh - issue resolved. Costs 10p - or 100 quid if you pay me to. Because.

That is basically my car.. You helped me a lot.. This is an awesome car.. The 3.0 liter is so efficient and smooth.. I take people who have owned diesels their whole life and I jump o the throttle and they can't believe how quick it is.. Say it's witchcraft... The ride is smooth, its good off road, and the best snow and ice 4x4 performance I have ever had.. Leather is top quality..

On one particular issue. Toyota had a lot of DPF problem a while back but It seems they have sorted it. Expensive mechanical problems might seem like "not a big deal" if you are a mechanic, but seeing how so many seem to misdiagnose diesel issues, that is a problem for us regular plods who don't have access to a lot of equipment.

That’s my car , 2016 RRS td6, Jimmy. Thanks to you it is a great car. Just did the throttle body change after 70,000m. A great car for gobbling up the miles. Virginia to Utah and back was just fuel and a bit of DEF. Nearest thing to flying comfort. Keep up the great work pushing back the fog of ignorance surrounding diesels and DPF. Cheers

Land Rover quality these days seems to be in the toilet. They used to try, now perhaps given up? Horrible cars, very sad.

The TOpix diag and testing section has a picture of the date stamp for those plastic throttles. It’s been a known issue since 2016 and is published. The pinpoint test for P0234-77 also may lead you to that date stamp check.

They spent more trying to fix their Range Rover than I will spend on my next car. I know which I'd rather have out of a 12 year old executive Euro 5 diesel and a load of parts that didn't fix a car. Seems like I'm working on a totally different financial level when it comes to cars than some people. For sure a 2017 Range Rover is a lovely car to be in and to drive. But so are certain BMW, Mercedes, Volvo, Audi etc etc etc Euro 5 diesels...

Your kidding me. That 3.0L have cranks snapping and are very bad for it

If you can afford a Range Rover, you can afford the repair bills lol

Just glazing over the 3.0 crank issue?

Yes Jimmy, I said sticking flapper soon as you said regular viewers will know what the problem most likely is.

In the future we'll be able to upload our knowledge and experience to an AI system that'll be able to solve any problem known to man. Until then we rely on good people like you.

Take off the pipe running between the air filter and the engine. There is an electrically operated butterfly valve there. Check for soot that prevent its operation.

All new cars are rubbish and not built to last more then the warranty given. Everything is plastic so how can they last with the heat cycles etc ? It's the emissions that's killing them.

Not sure why people seem to hate on them either. If you need a vehicle with some balls for towing, they're a great car. There aren't many vehicles out there where you can tow a 3500Kg trailer with relative ease. A friend on mine recently had a 3.0L Discovery; he used it for towing a trailer stage. Other than the split inlet manifold (which he knew about when he bought it) it's not given him any bother. He only moved it on as he had 4 vehicles, and of the vehicles he had, it was the least practical.

Landrover dealers are thick as fuck when it comes to there own cars on diagnostics. And still can’t fix it and people put trust in them. We have a car at work that comes up with dpf fault but probably says other faults and limp mode. Landrover changed the turbo and a few weeks later same fault came back. Car has done 150000m discovery sport 2.0l 2015. I wounder if that has the same problem as that

Well done Jimmy: great job...and shame on the monkeys who couldn't diagnose the true nature of the fault but ripped-off the owner. Another damning indictment of the general level of competence of your common or garden parts swappers.

He wants to get rid of that pronto. It says Gen2 on the pipe. What they've done with the gen2 TDV6 is utter madness. There's an electronic control on the oil pump that reduces oil pressure at idle to 'reduce emissions' for Euro 6. This on an engine where they've pushed the limit of the crankshaft. This owner has had multiple DPF problems, so you can guarantee oil dilution. It's a ticking time bomb. There's such a demand for rebuilt/replacement gen2 engines that they're making £8-10k on the black market. JLR can't even a delivery date for a short motor. BTW I've owned multiple LR models down the years.

Who actually makes the throttle body shown in the video?

Way to many so called mechanic's out there that don't know how to work on hi-tec motors even though they have bought diagnostic tools but think they can just muggle their way through it all but they can't

Those jag/land rover vehicles are just utter shite now. My favourite is probably the Ingenium engine in the discovery sport. Prone to timing chain failure, but to change the chain you have to pretty much take the car apart as it lives on the flywheel end of the engine! Of course if you're already in there you might as well do a clutch. Even if you're doing it for yourself it soon becomes an expensive undertaking!! Designed to fail for sure.

Nothing wrong with my jag 2.0 R.sport well until the adblue fuel quality light came on , so i looked at the injector is clean , so i regen the dpf now its ok or is it temporary?

its made out of plastic what could go wrong

Why on earth wouldn't you look at the least intrusive thing first. Took 2 seconds to remove the clip and inspect. If it sticks shut, boost is high! Carbon clean or replace with new. Tbh the turbo was probably leaking oil and mixed with the egr carbon and caused this to stick. Its makes a right mess. Vws are bad for the throttle sticking due to carbon. No idea why you would try file that throttle, that's just odd.

Could a turbo fault in the history like was on this range rover, with the actual fault being a faulty throttle body and sensor, occur on a 70 reg Fiat talento van ?

I find LR RR have to be worked hard and not just doing town driving.

What about crankshaft failure? Just look at LRtime or more recently Barum Engines to see what a disaster this engine is.

Hey Jimmy, can you please put a list of the Range Rovers you like and list you don't like below with the engine sizes you like most and years. This list would be fanatic to know to pass on to others so they don't get stuck with a problem. Thank you brother. P.S. Please be nice with the list because my mate is the manager and I sold him my pet monkey so we need to keep them in business and we can all as a team force them to improve next models and discontinue the crap engines like the 3L for people that don't pull with them and just want them for show giving people honest advice. Also I don't see many range rover evoque in your videos, can we also have a rundown on them as many young people want them, and I can see why as I like them myself. Ha ha ha.

Didn't your tester show you the sensor was blocked? Was the throttle body really broken? I can see why the customer didn't want to buy a new one. There is no way all the people spending £6K to £12K on this repair went to a main dealership. They have been going to backstreet garages who think a fault code reader tells them what to change. You still need to know how the engines work as a fault code shows a condition. It just gives a clue.

@mateuszkolacki1704

Ай бұрын

tools won't tell you sensor is blocked as the car computers can't check that lol, they can tell you if its underboosting or overboosting or expected pressure hasn't been met but that's about it - which is exactly what the fault would be in that Range Rover, with the throttle body blocked you would get overboosting codes

So this one spent £6000 for no real reason but wasn't willing to spend £500 to solve the problem. He/she/they/them deserve to get ripped off then.

Hope you charged him for the throttle body, tight git not believing you 🤡

It there anybody here with RR/Jaguar 3.0D V6 engine and knows what is normal milage between active DPF regens? Regardless of driving style (city driving or highway only) I get from 100km to 200km max between regens. Is that normal with this engines? Or should it be more liked 500-800km?

@nia79nia

It depends of how you drive. When the engine is cool the DPF loads up fast. So if you are only doing shorter trips you can gain 1-2 grams in 10 km. But when all temperatures are up and you are driving on highway you can get 1-2 grams in 60 km. So it really depends on how you drive these cars.

That MAP sensor has never been cleaned. Never. Nothing wrong with the car except the owner who doesn't look after it.
