Steal of a deal on an LR4 with issues
Ended up putting a wood shim between fuel rail and a pry bar, worked my at each injector until the fuel rail popped out along with one of the injectors. The remaining three injectors had a bit of fight in them, as expected, pulled them out using my $27 Amazon injector puller! Here is the end... -

Steal of a deal on an LR4 with issues
Im back at it after a bit of a break due to the Colorado cold weather and the holidays. I set myself up with a propane heater for the garage which has been a fantastic investment. In the last couple of day’s I’ve been making some great headway all while documenting my process with video, which... -

Steal of a deal on an LR4 with issues
Been a few days since an update, but talking about my sense of adventure from the previous topic - I’ve has my hands busy with my Audi A6 Avant... those things have a notorious issue with an ignition module that starts to fail and prevents the car from starting... this requires you to... -

The least they could do is just cap it off so it looks like it’s not something important. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk -

Steal of a deal on an LR4 with issues
I’m definitely doing both banks at the same time, doesn’t make much sense to do one bank and a high probability of having to do the other bank a few months later. I took it for a spin before I started to take things apart and the transmission luckily feels pretty solid. Sent from my iPhone... -

Steal of a deal on an LR4 with issues
Got the LR4 into the garage and started to take stuff apart. Put the hood into service mode, removed the engine cover, battery, air boxes and intake. Noticed a 2 prong plug near the positive battery terminal that wasn’t plugged in to anything. I tried to follow it back but it looks like it’s... -

I should also add that I read and recorded the codes first, reset and started the car again. The car ran for about 5 min, at times idling great, at times not so great. Seems as though there is a bit of moisture coming out of the left exhaust at times whereas the right one looks pretty clear... -

Steal of a deal on an LR4 with issues
I decided to run a scan using my VCDS, I've been traditionally an Audi guy(previous A6, now an A7 owner) while I wait for the IID to arrive and I was surprised by the amount of codes I was able to pull, unfortunately all of the cylinders are reporting missfires in addition to a Camshaft... -

Oh that’s good to know, I’m not a spammer I swear [emoji23] Seams slimy on GAP to lock the tool to a VIN considering these things aren’t cheap to begin with and you can’t run diags on a friends LR. Any idea what the transfer fee is like? Bummer that I missed the BF deal though. $415 shipped... -

Never even occurred to me to try that, I’ll have to look into it. On a side note, anyone have issues posting to the “Wanted” section? Tells me I don’t have permissions, I’m looking for a used GAP IID Tool. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk -

I checked symptoms of a bad vacuum pump and it’s not really consistent with what I’m seeing and smelling. Symptoms point to a blown head gasket Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk -

Steal of a deal on an LR4 with issues
Couldn’t agree more on all your points, I was planning on making sure the block is square first and foremost, getting the heads machined and all of the head bolt holes re-tapped and sleeved. This car has only a recent history of overheating from what I’ve been told but some further investigation... -

5k heavy miles is very promising, I have faith that you can get another 100k before anything needs to be done. I’m certainly up for a rental of the ns300l kit, ill PM you when I’m close to that stage if this motor isn’t completely shot. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk -

Steal of a deal on an LR4 with issues
Hah you’re not the first one that suggested this... I would strongly consider this or a TDI swap but the shitty thing about Colorado is that emission tests require a factory motor. Unless you’re outside of the emissions testing area which sadly I am not Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk -

Thanks for the reply KTM525 - My idea is that it will all depend on how things look when I crack open the motor, if the motor is not salvageable then I’ll consider parting it out. Parting it out will definitely make me money and is not out of the question but it’s really not the priority, I... -

Thanks for the tips AGLR4, I’m certainly not in a hurry on this rebuild, and as you pointed out I’m also not going to skimp on quality parts since I’ve saved a good amount on the car. Your thread gave me the the inspiration to go consider this “adventure” seeing as you’ve done such a fantastic... -

Hah that’s fantastic! I did see your thread a few weeks ago and was kicking myself for not saving it and I couldn’t find it again. How’s your LR4 running post rebuild? Any issues? Anything you’d do differently? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk -

Hey ya’ll! Slavo from Denver here, new to the forum. I just picked up a ‘10 LR4 HSE Lux (I believe) 5.0 V8 Arctic white with 106k miles on the clock for $2k, but it clearly has its issues. On the outside it’s in pretty good condition other thank a ding on the rear driver side corner which...
