We investigate when our Freelander 2 goes into "restricted performance" mode. It turns out to be a split intercooler / turbo hose that needs replacing.
Found you guys from a simple search, Subscribed since I own a Freelander 2, and its really helpful. I have this problem right now and am just waiting for the part. 👍
great videos and so helpful. Found it too late for me unfortunately. New service centre wanted to charge $4500+ for a new turbo (said the waste gate was stuck open) but only charged $180 for an inspection when I refused the work. I was certainly softened up for the second workshop, who charged $900 to replace the split hose. I was so grateful... til I saw your video anyway.
So pleased I found this video. After a 250 mile trip towing in "limp" mode, I saw your video,,, checked that hose & found it was split just like yours. All fixed and good now with a £10 hose + a Topdon300 to check & reset the fault code. £30 total spend is a lot better than what I had feared. Many thanks🙂
@@letshearitforthedogsx6334 hi, no, sorry, but I can say that I was doing 65mph happily,, then the engine lost power & I limped along on the hard shoulder to the next exit. RAC cleared codes, but the 'limp' returned a mile or so Later. After find where the intercooler hose is located, (front of engine), I could feel a big split in it. Hope this helps.
Spot on, saved me some cash and kept me busy for an hour....new pipe was a "Snug Fit" as they say. Thanks for this and all your videos...they give me the confidence to tackle jobs I otherwise wouldn't.
Never thought I’d see this problem or video on here and here you both are helping me have the confidence to solve this very same problem. Taken me two days so far. 😂
Problem reattaching the jubilee clips now solved. Not much room to tighten jubilee clips up, incredibly hard to get the angle or any torque on it. Figured out using a thumb sized washer used as a screwdriver did the trick. Jobs a good one now. Got my part from APUK Autoparts UK via eBay. £18 plus few quid extra for next day delivery. I did buy cheaper from another site for £11 but rubber was too thick on replacement part to get it to fit back together so money wasted. Beware of cheaper parts like I did. Hope this helps save you some time. The below fitted my SD4 like a glove.

Excellent video, restricted power mode this morning. Quick look where you suggested and could see the material threads of the pipe poking out. Whipped it off and sure enough squeeze it and the pipe has a split in it. One on order after about 10 mins of troubleshooting.
Thank you so much for this video. I have the same problem. On investigation I found a bodged repair with piece of straight hose substituted for the pipe you replaced. I have tried to look for a replacement for an SD4 but can only find one for the TD4. Please excuse my ignorance but are they the same engine apart from Output?
Yes. Was about to post that. I keep a set of small sockets & a screwdriver with suitable end just for jobs like that. You can get the hose clamps much tighter too.
Spot on diagnosis. £15 fix and 10 minutes to mend. Funny thing was that there was no code logged. Listen for a whistle noise just before warning comes up on dash. Resets after parking up until you accelerate hard again. Short hose on its own only available as a pattern part.
I’ve had this happen to me before and it’s now happened again so this video has helped to figure out a way to fix it myself to save the money. Thankyou
Appreciated 👍 very well done and good explanation very simple and to the point . I have a problem if you can help me out please , It’s a Range Rover sport 2010 3.0 diesel. 1-Starts straight away 2-engine light is on and it’s on limp mode 3- throwing code p0193 4-change the high pressure fuel rail including the sensor 5-changed map and maf sensors 6-car won’t rev past 3 7-max speed goes up to 70mph 8-drops the rev and speed when going uphill 9-sometimes on a flat road it drops the speed to 20mph and rev won’t past 2 10-recently got it services and changed all the filters including fuel filter . 11-i have got a cheap OBD scanner and saw a fuel pressure on live data it shows 22000 and it’s still won’t go up and down when rev . 12-when sudden floor the gas paddle it will drop the speed rev won’t go up it feels like fuel not coming or exhaust is blocked ,fuel or exhaust system feel squeezed .but if rev it slowly /gradually then it picks up speed until I floor the peddle but when release the paddle half way up then it feels bit of ease . 13-sorry for the very long message but I wanted some help desperately and wanted to describe as much as possible .been to land hover specialist and few other garages but no joy ,some say it’s an electric issue and some say it’s a high school reassure fuel pump and some say it’s a turbo or pcm issue but no 1 is able to figure it out exactly .. ( I have a short video uploaded as well on RU-vid ) any help would be appreciated.👍
i got the same light issue on my 2013 Range Rover Sport HSE> Dealer saying the chains needs to be replaced. I had the same issue 3 years back and they recommended the oil change. Same part on Amanzon for this model?
Just popped my LDR4 in for Restricted Performance issue. Only seems to be an problem under load. Light came on and then cleared once I stopped the engine. Been driving it for a couple of weeks at low speed because of petrol shortage and it has been fine. Garage reckon probably a tiny split in the turbo hose which only manifests itself under high load. Really interesting to see the issue. I suspect for me with the membrane etc it is enough to keep the air in for most conditions. Thanks for posting.
Just want to say thanks a lot for your video. Same problem and saved £230 doing it myself. I will say that it wasn't easy getting the new hose on and took 2 hours and a lot of wrestling in the cold and in confined spaces with some liberal swearing. My tips are look at the jubilee clip imprints on your old hose. You really need to get hose over the pipe. My gloves got shredded doing it but in the end I took them off and found it easier to manipulate and was more instinctive. I also found it easier to get the hose on the top manifold section first as that was trickier.
I've got also a diesel of 2008, I'm the second owner for 5 year by now, at first it was nice diesel sound performance like whisper, but after years I'm missing the sound of it. And while accelerating, there is more noise than power. Wondering, if it is a problem of nozzles (jets) or pipe as shown. Btw Nice LR👍
Yep mines gone too! It’s sounded odd and made the air blower in the cabin increase when accelerating. Looks a nice easy job. Got one coming from Amazon.
I had the same issue and found a split in the turbo pipe. Just received a replacement ready to fit. Is it a difficult job as looks tricky getting the new hose on with the limited space. Thanks again
This sounds exactly what's going on with my 2012 Freelander 2. I looked at the short hose, but it seems to be ok. Any other suggestions? Also, how do you remove the Reduced Engine Performance warning (if I fix the problem).
Hi - when the problem was fixed the error message self clears - no need for reset tool etc You could have a problem with another hose or the intercooler - look for oil leaks etc ?
@@L663 Thanks for that. I checked the short hose and it was ok, but ran my hand along the rest of the hose and put my finger into a split next to the intercooler! Doh! I was more worried about the message.
Question, is the engine layout the same on Range Rover evoque 2013? Getting the exact same problem with error message and hissing sound when I accelerate. Also is it the same part?
@@joshbaker9409 Hi Josh you should be able to get the part numbers from this link - any problems let me know. This is an older website so some part number may have been superseded. Best i can do while out the office ! new.lrcat.com/#!/12117/129249/130200/10439
A question how did you know it was the hose that caused the problem ? was there a diagnostic code that told you or did you simply check all the pipes ?
On the 2008 2.2 TD4 the OD of the pipe is 60mm, ID=55mm. I noticed the oily residue accumulating on the plastic feeder pipe and noticed an oily discharge around the intercooler inlet port. When flushing the intercooler I observed that most of the mixture was escaping the jacket and not from the port. For a 132000km vehicle I found the OEM hoses in good condition, I used diesel to clean them - a petroleum based cleaner could destroy the elasticity of the hoses. Work in a dust free environment while the hoses are off. The factory fitted intercooler does not have an MAPT sensor required by the replacement intercooler, this port can be blanked off with a bolt, washers, split pin and gasket sealer. It is important to have the nut on the outside with a stainles steel split pin. I have decat'd the TD4, replaced the egr cooler (broken) which I am bypassing. Note, the original egr cooler has one large chamber and 24 smaller ports compared to the replacement that only has 32 ports - so the cooling efficiency is bound to be different with the original ECM mapping.
Hi guys, thank you for the video I took my car to the garage a few months back cost around 200 pounds to have this fixed, but unfortunately pipe came off again 🤦♀️ do you have the link to the pipe on ebay please?
Hello I’ve just had the same part replaced on my 07reg Freelander2 but I’m still getting the problem of loss of power any ideas what to do please I also had a split hose
Strange - this should have cleared the issue - try a couple more ignition cycles - it can take 3 ignition cycles to clear some faults. Also you could try to disconnect the battery for 10 minutes and reconnect as this can reset some modules.
@@L663 thank you I’ll try that so far I’ve had a haldex service rear diff toped up gearbox service and the hose replaced this problem is pointing to one thing diff bearings my cheap fix isn’t so cheap anymore thanks for your advice oh and by the way love the channel and the mods I’ve bought for me Fl2
Ciao! Sono Daniel! E sto chiedendo un aiuto per mio Renge rover sport 2.7 anno 2007 190cv 140kw. Auto dopo 80 km h va in protezione, e non va piu di 50 ,,60 km .devo spegnere e ripartire poi tutto e normale fino arrivo ancora 80 km.Sul display arriva scritta FUNZIONE SPECIALE DESACTIVATE. NESSUNO DOVE HO PORTATO AUTO NON A RISOLTA PROBLEMA. ANCHE CON DIAGNOSI. CHIEDO GENTILMENTE SE MI DA UNA RISPOSTA. GRAZIE
Oh no - you need to get a fault code reader and see what error codes are stored There are some simple phone apps you can get that will read your fault codes. When there is smoke I always about the turbo !
