Water in Fuel Indication

I have a 07MY RRS TDV6 with the newer fuel filter. My handbook does not seem to cover what message/indication appears when the sediment catch at the bottom of the fuel filter detects water in the fuel.

Can someone tell me what indication I will see/hear in the drivers seat when this scenario occurs.

Thanks

You will get an on dash message saying "water in fuel"

This was a problem on mine when I viewed it before buying, I got the dealer to replace fuel filter, sensor & housing before I collected it and all ok now

That is exactly what I would expect - I wonder why LR has failed to include that in the message centre section of the handbook where it outlines what messages come up.

In Aust water in the fuel can be an issue in some areas due to poor storage practices and environmental factors. Unfortunately the water catchment at the bottom of the fuel filter is too small to be effective - usually by the time the warning is noticed and the engine turned off it is too late and the injection pump and injectors are history. After market water catch and alarm systems is a hot topic for discussion here for all makes with CRD diesels.

Hi Guys,

I found this in the Handbook!
Its under Fuel and Refuelling!

[/quote]WATER IN DIESEL FUEL SENSOR
If the warning WATER IN FUEL SEE
HANDBOOK is displayed in the
message centre, an excessive amount
of water has collected in the fuel filter
bowl. Seek assistance from a Land
Rover Dealer/Authorised Repairer to
have the filter drained as soon as
possible.
