If you want to join in the fun have a look at http://www.disco3.co.uk/forum/topic64159.html if you've got a TDV6 lump. It easy to check, if I can do it a blind monkey with a severe hangover can do it. Thought of you peeps as the RRS is just the D3s less good looking twin!

Ducking for cover.

Derek you got dirty hands mate, most unlike you..................... 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it
2018 Melting Silver Mini Countryman PHEV - soon to be replaced
2015MY Corris Grey SDv6 HSE Dynamic, the best car I have ever owned, totally reliable only a cou0le of rattles in 3 years, now no longer in my care
Also in my garage is a 1996 TDi300 Defender 90 County HT made into a fake CSW

It had to happen at some stage!!

BUMP!!

Almost 100 D3ers have checked their MAP sensors and 82% are gunked up, some to the point of the sensor being totally caked in crud. Also good reports of increased mpg (mine's improved by 20% from it's dire state) and vavavoom is back.

Go on peeps, check your sensors or get your butlers to do it. It's dead easy and only need a T25 torx bit. You know it makes sense, your sensor could look like this.

Ok then i'll get my hands dirty if i really have to i'll take a look tomorrow

You'll enjoy the experience!! Pics please.

Oh bo11ocks, i forgot to look today, been using the wifes motor, maybe tomorrow after ive been to malham in the dales

Ok so i took my map sensor out today, it was a little dirty but nothing like the pic above, cleaned it up inside and out and put back together, thanks for the heads up on cleaning though,

Cleaned mine today, fairly heavily soiled and you could not see the hole into the sensor so I am guessing that the performance was less than optimal. Wiped the worst of the crud off and then a quick blast of WD40 dissolved the rest away. Have only driven about 1 mile since but the car seems quieter under gentle acceleration (after I had an EGR valve replaced in January the car seemed to make more noise- possibly the MAP sensor is getting a more accurate reading and keeping the valves closed?), will see if there are any further improvements to note in the coming days.

Ady how's yours??

Don't know yet, after i cleaned it i put it straight into my garage, i will let you know tomorrow, i'm not sure i will notice any difference because ive just had it remapped and boy what a difference that has made to the power been on a run to the good old yorkshire dales A&B roads and a good blast on the keighley bypass 90 mile round trip up hill and down dale and i was surprised to return 27.8 mpg computer reading which isn't far out at all on my motor, the most mpg ive ever had before the remap was 23mpg, the engine is smoother and quieter pickup is sooo much quicker, it now gives you a kick in the back, throttle response is quicker and i'm also getting more mpg which is a bonus,

Been kind of watching the remap debate here, seems much more common D3side than here. For me it's a case of which remap, whether to remap or not doesn't even come into it. Had 2 cars remapped & never had any issues related to that. Also never had any problems with warranty work with dealers, never had to remove it. Most stealers sell remaps anyway at inflated prices. Getting my remap put back on Thursday, lost when new turbo fitted.

Which remap did you go for??

Hopefully the MAP thingie helps as well, if you can't blank your EGRs it will need routine checking.

Hi

would this affect the TDV8s as well? Kiel

Don't know for sure, I'm not techie, but can't see why not. If it's easily accessible deffo worth a try, though I've no idea where it is as LR couldn't be bothered putting the TDV8 in D3s.

BAS remap i am going to leave the EGR's as they are at the moment because if they go pop whilst still under warranty i will get them replaced, if not i will blank them off
