United Kingdom 2009 Freelander 2 TD4_e GS Manual Zermatt Silver

Thanks Alex
There is no way I would have thought of that. I also doubt a dealer would have come up with that either.
I'll definitely have a look at that. As you say it can't hurt to look.
Thanks again. Thumbs Up

Forgot to ask, how will I know if its faulty ? Now at the point when I learn something new something old is lost out the other side !
Now retired so it doesn't matter anymore.
Freelander now gone.

Sorry for the slow return, have been away.
Up date on problem. I have now replaced all of the boost hoses with silicone ones from Derby Performance Hoses. I couldn't find anything wrong with the originals but as others have suggested they can be a problem. Bit of a time consuming job but now done.
The result is that the car is now worse. It now sounds like a hurricane is passing through the turbo and the original problem is still there.
To try and eliminate a boost leak I decided to run the engine and induce smoke into the air inlet. Idear being if there was a leak I would now be able to see it.
No smoke leakage therefore I think that is now ruled out.
One new observance though, as the new hoses are a bright blue they are easier to see and as the engine was revved you could see the large hose from the intercooler to the throttle body start to bloat.
My thinking now is that the turbo is pushing out the air but something is restricting the flow, possibly the throttle body sticking at a set point ?
Anyone like to comment on this one. Rolling Eyes Now at the point when I learn something new something old is lost out the other side !

Please check out my other post for full details but the short answer to this was a faulty turbo.
Other post 'turbo boost position sensor'

Hope people find this useful. Thumbs Up Now at the point when I learn something new something old is lost out the other side !
