2011 Freelander 2 SD4 Sport Auto Santorini Black

We had this as well on our 2011 FL2 SD4 and niggles like this was one of the reasons why we ended up selling it. Also had the haldex unit replaced and wondered if it was related as it seemed to solve the problem for a while.

So. my FL2 is at the dealer now after having reproduced the problem with a technician to some degree last month. Was also offered the opportunity to take it out yesterday morning with a technician when I took it in, and also managed to reproduce it.

Got a call today to say they have diagnosed a fault with the airflow meter which will be replaced under extended warranty tomorrow and retested. Here's hoping...

England 2013 Freelander 2 TD4 GS Manual Orkney Grey

Noticed this post a few weeks ago (amongst others on this general subject) when my MY2013 started with an intermittent flat spot on acceleration at about 1700 – 2000 RPM.
I’ve actually had two snags, the flat spot and uneven initial acceleration from idle. The uneven acceleration was cleared by changing the accelerator pedal assembly (thanks to Dan at Duckworth's for a rapid delivery), but I still have the intermittent flat spot at between 1700 and 2000 RPM. As an additional precaution I also changed the Crank Sensor (I had a spare as I’ve heard a lot about these being intermittent), but it made no difference.
My problem is a little stranger than some. Over the last few months I have used the vehicle mainly for driving the 15 miles to work and back home again on ‘A’ roads with a speed limit of 50MPH so never been used in town areas (Generally hasn’t been used at weekends over the summer). I never have a problem in the morning, it runs and pulls superbly well and the same on the way home until I’ve covered about 8 – 10 miles and get stuck in queuing traffic at lights. Occasionally, when setting of from rest after being in traffic I get the flat spot at 1700 – 2000 RPM (only occasionally say 30% of the time). At first I imagined it was linked to the high outside air temperature, but up here in Lancashire it’s been relatively cool for the last few weeks.
Doesn’t seem to be any fault codes logged and apart from this issue the vehicle runs perfectly. This coming weekend I’m going to take the engine cover off and take a good look round at any intercooler and vacuum hoses etc. and then give it a good blast on the motorway for an hour to try and blow any ‘cobwebs’ out.
Has anyone got drawings / diagrams of the Intercooler hose, vacuum hose & EGR layout handy? I am told removal of the EGR valve for cleaning is a real nightmare.
On searching the web for this issue it’s amazing the number of different makes of vehicle having similar faults (don’t just assume its just Land Rovers), majority of which don’t seem to have a solution or a permanent fix.
All the best,

England 2013 Freelander 2 SD4 HSE Lux Auto Santorini Black

both my autos (2010 TD4 and 2013 SD4) had the odd spot between those rev ranges, but I noticed it in that when in what I assume was 6th gear it would seem to labour at those revs, but by either speeding up slightly (to about 75mph) or slowing down slightly (until the revs dropped below 1700rpm) seemed to negate it.

Since then my thoughts have been that as its a variable vane turbo, so the turbo vanes turn according to the revs etc to produce a smoother bigger boost, and because the turbo kicks in about 1700rpm... is the flat spot/hesitation/lag something to do with the variable vanes and the point at which the turbo kicks in.

I must confess to having the 2013 remapped before I sold it, which made the acceleration a lot smoother by quite a margin.

Is there a known fix for this common fault yet?

My 08 Freelander judders every couple of months for a split second, always going up hill doesn't matter how fast, what gear etc. It also struggles to idle sometimes and revs drops close to stalling then picks itself back up. Its on 96k so not crazy mileage.

Having done some searching it seems it could be anything, gearbox, crank sensor, diff, fuel filter... has anyone fixed it and not had a single issue since?

I emailed LR on here even though mine is out of warranty hoping they may be able to help Sad FL2 GS

My Freelander 2 done this 4 times in a 2 mile journey on the way to work this morning, judders then instantly comes back. Seems worse when engines cold and its cold out (below 3 degrees) and accelerating.

I’ve pmed the Landrover account on here (had no reply as of yet) hoping they may be able to give some light on it. FL2 GS

With all due respect unless you are HRH Phillip Land Rover have no interest in supporting a car that old.

Your issue could be a multitude of failing older parts so to narrow it down have you had the fault codes read ? Someone on the end of a home computer does not have a slick answer as you have admitted yourself it could be anything. If you can't get a fault code to help its a case of fitting parts like crank sensors, sensors and fuel filters etc etc until you nail it down I am afraid but a good local independent may have come across it before if your lucks in. FL2 MY10 TD4 GS traded in at 2 years

That made me laugh. Hopefully they may help in any way would be great, even if they say no at least I asked but I do understand its 10 years old now. It may be a older model but it seems its a very common issue sounding the same as the 2011-14 models experiencing, so surely could be the same fault? Which is why I asked. Someone had one a similar age on another forum and LR got it in and it hasn't had a issue since.

It has low mileage but suppose it could be a few things.

Will phone around and speak to my local LR who are quite helpful with these things. FL2 GS

Have you tried investigating info on web for 'Gearbox Flaring'.

https://www.volvoforums.org.uk/showthread.php?t=285772

The Volvo uses the same gearbox.

Around the speed you are quoting the autobox 'lock up clutch' should be engaging, but also at about that speed or slightly higher the car will be disengaging the Haldex clutch to go from 4 wheel to 2 wheel drive.

As the problem is temperature sensitive I would have a look at changing the autobox fluid and cleaning out filters and channels in the autobox valve chamber. FL2 XS SD4 Auto 2010 2012-2017 (21k - 91k miles) (MY2011)

Thank you for your response
the gearbox it did not happen to me becouse I have changed the oil with flushing in 08/2018

it happens especially in the slower starting, when I little add more gas it does not do that "pcha pcha"

I think that this is different to the classic 2011 problem which was on manuals and appeared when you pulled away from stationary where nothing happened for a second or two and then off you go. Was a bit scary pulling onto a roundabout ! 3 x FL1 2 manual + 1 auto

So after many years of suffering with this problem and LR not being able to fully resolve it, a new turbo seems to have eliminated all 3 types of hesitation/judder that I used to have. The turbo (or some part of it) failed a while back and parts were replaced, but I'd have to look up exactly which.

Thankfully I have an extended warranty, but that only covered part of the cost as I decided to go to an independent. My usual LR dealer expected me to wait 5 weeks before they would even take it in for diagnosis.

I discovered, too late for my use though, that the LR extended warranty offers 7 day car hire.

I hope that I am not tempting fate with posting this, but as it's made it through the recent warm weather without a single judder I am reasonably confident that it's fixed, for the time being at least.
