    Lr4 5.0 serpentine belt issue

    My next step is remove and reinstall ps pully. This while ordeal started because a shop mistakenly put coolant in the ps reservoir, and I drove it like that for 2 weeks not knowing. Which in turn caused the pump to leak. Replaced the pump. Ever since then it's been ongoing issues, the most...

    Lr4 5.0 serpentine belt issue

    Tested the ac comp as described, seems fine. Spins engaged or not. Replaced the tensioner. Installed new belt (gates). Length 96.6" So far since tensioner replacment the belt has popped off 4 times, immediatly at startup. The belt is not ripping though. Each time I meticulously check the belt...

    Lr4 5.0 serpentine belt issue

    How would I know? Besides turning ac on and possibly sacrificing another belt. Spins freely when car is off and no belt is on, as expected. I did not have the defroster or ac on during any of the times it broke, or at all in the last month. I prefer using the heated windshield rather than...

    Lr4 5.0 serpentine belt issue

    Yea, I think the resistance of the coolant on the impeller would impact this

    Lr4 5.0 serpentine belt issue

    Just removed the old belt from being wrapped around the crank pulley. Waiting for a new one and tensioner to be delivered(friday). The old belt is not frayed at edges at all. It's as if it's stretched and ripped in half. The tensioner pulley has a sheen to it where the belt sits, and is coated...

    Lr4 5.0 serpentine belt issue

    Interesting. I just ordered a new tensioner. Maybe I'll lump an idler pulley into the order as well. I'd be suprised that this is a problem all of a sudden, but at this point, I just need to get it working and reliable (as reliable as a LR can be) again.

    Lr4 5.0 serpentine belt issue

    Yea, definitly aligned and routed correct. Qt this point, I feel like a pro. Can get the belt on, with fan belt still in place, in about 15 minutes. Lol. When it is started and not broken, everything spins nice with no noise or wabble. No fraying is present. What puzzles me the most is that it...

    Lr4 5.0 serpentine belt issue

    My serpentine /accessory belt (not fan belt) keeps breaking and I can't figure out why. Backstory: needed to replace my ps pump. First start after replacement, the belt snapped immidiatly at start up. I thought it may be from spraying the front of the engine down with brake cleaner(trying to...

    Lr4 coolant bleed valve screw

    I honestly can't remember. If I did, it's been on there for nearly 2 years. Seems kind of random for it to pop off

    Lr4 coolant bleed valve screw

    Just for full disclosure, I did work on the car recently, but nothing that should have affected the bleeder. Only thing is maybe I was a little rough putting the intake back onto the throttle body and nudged the valve? Nothing particular I remember. But this was the only step that was remotely...

    Lr4 coolant bleed valve screw

    While driving my car today I hot a low coolant light and immdiatly pulled over. Coolant everywhere. I recently(2 year/15k miles ago) replaced my crossover pipes, so no worries there. Had the car towed home and a quick inspection leads me to a missing bleeder valve on the front crossover pipe...

    2.6k vibration

    Weird. None of that was relayed to me when I made my service appointment. I also don't have a failing flange, so I don't want to pay out of pocket for a temporary fix to a non-issue. Honestly, my dealer has left me with alot to be desired through this recall process. I called lat Sept to...

    2.6k vibration

    Please elaborate. I'm brining my lr4 in for this recall in a couple days. How'd you end up needing to pay? My lr4 has 150k. I specifically asked about how collateral damage parts ( rust, age, etc) that may break are handled. They said they aren't responsible. Very concerning.

    2013 LR4 Heated Windscreen - only passenger side is working

    Search my thread about heated windshield. Purchased my car used and it had a fuyao windshield. It was melting fuses to the point I had to disassemble my fuse box to remove and clean out the fuse slot. i eventually had it replaced with oem plikington, and it works like a charm. You may have a...

    Wiring connector /pigtail replacement

    My serpentine belt broke and unfortunatly did some damage to components on the front of the engine. Almost done being repaired but 2 electrical pigtail connectors are proving difficult to find. I need a camshaft position sensor plug, and a vvt (variable valve cam timing solenoid) plug. If...

    Is it a timing chain???

    im curious to the cost of that repair. your mileage and year leans towards eventual timing chain guide issue. would this be somthing worth doing during this repair? I imagine the labor to get to the bolt is similar.

    Transmission crud on pan magnets

    ^this. it seems like there is a never ending amount of fluid that will drip, even after the initial pan drop. go in with the mindset that you will get drenched in fluid. there is no graceful way to contort the pan and remove it without dumping fluid on yourself, the ground, frame rail and...

    LR4 Transmission Fluid Change: Pan Swap Option

    alternativly you can use a infrared thermometer and aim it at the pan. itll be close enough. just have your target temp a few degrees cooler since the pan wont be as hot as the fluid.

    Transmission dipstick or fill port?

    Step one: replace pan and filter as described in that video. add new fluid. still shifting hard? drain and fill fluid, again. still shifting hard? replace solenoids and zip kit/valvbody internals <- be warned i did this myself, and it turned out to be a disaster. cost me nearly $3k to replace...

    Top glass

    weird. My local Land Rover dealer sent out their windshield to Safelite, to repair my car. The fact that its glass isnt relevant. The dealer should be providing parts to whomever is a paying customer. Is it even legal for them to say "sorry, unless we install it, we wont sell you that"?

    Farewell

    what did you trade in for?

    Windshield

    maybe. Incase anyone is curious for future reference, all glass on my truck is Land Rover Pilkington. MY 2011, early production.
