Hi guys


strange behaviour yesterday on the beach in sand mode

after about 300 m in deep sand and heavy acceleration in second gear and 2500 - 3000 rpm I got a reduced power engine message and limp mode but no check engine sign.

turn off and turn on engine, message and limp mode gone...


Few minutes later, in the same conditions and after 300 m I got the message "terrain response system fault, all special programs desacivated"

again, engine turn off and turn on, message gone and normal operation back


- Did I ask too much of my freelander 2 ?

- Are there still errors saved in the ECU that I should read ?

Any ideas ? thx

When was your fuel filter last changed? Heavy acceleration might show up a starvation issue. I have had this a few times before on earlier cars especially when accelerating up a hill. Low power message comes up and then goes off on restarting, no codes stored. 3 x FL1 2 manual + 1 auto
5 x FL2 4 manual + 1 auto
Now Discovery Sport P250 MHEV SE

Sticking turbo actuator arm? When trying to come on-boost, does this problem occur?

Thx guys

@dorsetfrelander : Fuel filter has ~ 15 000 km and one year


@SouthamFL2 : what u mean by trying to come on-boost ?

Best advice I can give you ( stay off the beach )

@Jack that's a good advice

@SouthamFL2 : No it drives normally didn't notice any change ... I'll check the turbo hose. regarding the arm, is it something easy to check ?

thx
