Just been down the motorway and "Engine System Fault" flashed up on my RRS 2.7 TDV6 that I have just picked up today!!!!!!!!!!!

Any advice on what it could be?

I take it it would be a bad idea to do a 600 mile round trip in it!! 2009 3.6 TDV8 HST

If it resets when you start the car and it didn't go into limp mode then probably not an issue. My TDV8 has started doing it again, last two times required new turbos but not sure if V6 has same vari-vane turbo. Mine always seems worse after it has been sat up a while. More I drive it the less often it does it. Might be worth getting a reader on it to see what fault is recoded. Can't remember the code I had, but fault was positive pressure deviation. Probably of no help to you what do ever! Sorry.  2x TDV6. SE and HSE. Both returned to sender with issues👀
TDV8 Sport HSE...... Gone. Loved it but it didn't love me!!
Now rolling in MY10 Fullfat TDV8 Vogue. Slammed it to go round corners🙈

Thanks for your reply........It lost all power an hour before and a coasted over to the hard shoulder absolutely no throttle response at all!! I thought it was my fault for messing with the cruise control until that msg came on!!!! I only just picked the thing up today!!!!! They gave me 3 months waranty so I just hope they cover it!! I will have it plugged in tomorrow and see what comes up!!

Thanks. 2009 3.6 TDV8 HST

That does sound like limp mode. Could be having been sat up on a forecourt has gummed something up. Having just spoken to grown up, EGR is also a possibility so get code read. 2x TDV6. SE and HSE. Both returned to sender with issues👀

Thanks Simple, I was told it just had an EGR about 3 weeks ago. Could this be faulty? Or maybe codes not cleared?

Thanks again 2009 3.6 TDV8 HST

If the code wasn't cleared you would have a little arrow on left of DIS. It's a current fault if the car drops into limp mode. Get it looked at but be interested to know what code is. Mine will only do it if given full bananas but educated guess says vains on turbo are clogged up after sitting about and being allowed to idle for long periods. My first turbo went after car had sat at dealers for 6 weeks. Second after car sat at Gatwick for a month. It isn't the actual Turbo, it's the mechanism that moves the blades but it's sealed unit. Just be thankful its not a v8, I watched mine have body lifted off twice now. I do post some photos up here in@ 2008 and 9 of the body up on a two post ramp and chassis sat on floor on its own wheels. Not pretty! 2x TDV6. SE and HSE. Both returned to sender with issues👀

Last time I tried to get mine to bring up the fault I had to give it the beans too!! No fault code on my mates diagnostics tho but another specialist thinks EGR valve. 2009 3.6 TDV8 HST

Most ODB code readers won't display Land Rover fault codes or will show that there are none recorded. EGR will bring management light on from start up. 2x TDV6. SE and HSE. Both returned to sender with issues👀

Ok so I dont have the engine management light on just this "engine system fault" message. Worst case scenario what could this be?? 2009 3.6 TDV8 HST

As already disclosed, and especially as you say you only get the fault at full throttle, it will be worse case, a turbo. The fault code for this will be positive pressure variation. But you need to get someone with a system that will read the codes. My Snapon Vendus is high tech but struggles with land rovers. Normal ODB readers won't have the correct protocols to talk to canbus system to extract info from all the different ecu's 2x TDV6. SE and HSE. Both returned to sender with issues👀

I take it its the T4 system I need to use then? 2009 3.6 TDV8 HST

OK just got it back from the garage with a £400 bill for changing the other EGR Valve after one was changed 3 weeks ago and I am driving down the motorway and big surprise......"Engine System Fault" comes up again!!

I think we can say its not the EGR Valves!!!!! 2009 3.6 TDV8 HST

Isn't the EGR covered by the warranty they gave you? 2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders
2008 TDV8 - it was a labour of love and is much missed

Yeah they paid for it :0D 2009 3.6 TDV8 HST

Been on a T4 system today 2 faults showing.....Cant remember exactly what they were.....Turbo actuator springs to mind and MAP sensor....(Not MAF)

If its Turbo Actuator does that mean a new turbo unit complete is required?

What is the MAP?

Thanks  2009 3.6 TDV8 HST
