2007 Defender 2.4 - Amber Engine Warning Light - ???
Discussion
HEY, THERE ARE QUITE A NUMBER OF FAULTS CURRENTLY ON THE PUMA/TD4/TDCI (WHATEVER YOU CHOOSE TO CALL IT) DEFENDER.
1: MOISTURE INGRESS - IF 07 MY OR BEFORE, MOST LIKELEY THE FUEL TANK BREATHER IS STILL BEHIND THE DRIVERS SIDE BACK WHEEL (IF LHD) THIS SUCKS MUCK AND WATER INTO THE FUEL SYSTEM. MANY PROBLEMS FOLLOW. 2: COULD BE AIR FLO METER 3: COULD BE THE COMMONRAIL SWITCH (OFTEN CAUSED BY MOISTURE INGRESS). LR HAVE JUST WRITTEN AN UPDATE FOR THIS VEHICLE TO STOP THE WARNING LIGHT COMING ON. BASICALLY, RATHER THAN A FAULT ON THE COMMON RAIL HAVING TO BE LOGGED FOR 5 MINS TO PUT THE LIGHT ON, THEY HAVE CHANGED IT TO NEAR ON 24 HRS BEFORE IT PUTS THE LIGHT ON. THEREFORE NOT EVER DRIVING FOR 24HRS WITHOUT TURNING OFF AND CYCLING THE IGNITION, THE FAULT WILL NEVER LOG AND NEVER PUT THE LIGHT ON. BEST BET, POP IT INTO THE DEALER AND ASK THEM TO DIAGNOSE, BE CAREFUL THOUGH, IF YOU HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE TUNED, THEY WILL OVERWRITE THE TUNE IF THEY UPDATE THE FILE.
HOPE YOU GET IT SORTED
