Cylinder 8 Misfire
Spark plug, coil, fuel injector would all be cylinder specific failures. Any could give these codes and symptoms described. -
Fuel Related Issue at Start Up
I think I’d start by just replacing the HPFPs and see how it runs. Replacing the pumps looks to be a pretty easy job - not so much the timing on the pumps, but they might be fine. Vacuum pump is an easy replacement too. As for the alternator, you are aware that it’s a variable output... -
Where is my coolant going??
I thought dealers would have a qualified mechanic on staff, or at least on retainer. At any rate, a coolant system most often will only leak under pressure - just filling the reservoir will not tell you anything. And you don’t check for coolant leaks with a vacuum test. With the car... -
2015 LR4 Coolant Issue - Nothingburger or...
Coolant is pink or orange? If pink, someone has replaced it in the past. OEM coolant is orange. I don’t think an empty reservoir would cause me to pack it up and send it to the dealer. If you arrive at the dealer on a flatbed, I think they get dollar signs in their eyeballs. If the level... -
Auxiliary Battery
It’s the aux, and many of us don’t actually use it for anything but keeping the light off. i’ll take whatever ebay is selling over getting ripped off to the tune off 350 or 400 for the exide stateside. with the prices increasing, the other option (which i’ll do next time) is changing the... -
Auxiliary Battery
The place I’ve bought from twice is autospares.eu. They have two links - one in Euros and one in British pounds, each with slightly different shipping options. Not sure which is best. Either way, prices have gone up from what they used to be... -
Fuel Related Issue at Start Up
If it’s your PVC, typically your fuel trims levels will be way high showing a lean condition. A lean condition can point to a fuel pump issue as well, but if you are not showing lean, I don’t think the problem is the PVC. The fuel rail pressure looks way out of wack to me. 0 psi desired at... -

Valve Cover Gasket / Front Timing Cover Questions
seeping valve cover or timing cover can generally wait unless its getting on your alternator or belts. since the injectors need to come out, you should probably think about replacing them as well. at the very least you need a seal kit to put them back in. -
Bad ECM or something else?
The electrically assistant T-stats give enhanced performance, but shouldn’t overheat even if the electric heating unit is shot because they still open and close like a regular t-stat. Here is a good explanation: https://www.motor.com/magazine-summary/electrically-assisted-thermostat/ -
Ticking Sound When Turning?
Yeah, I honestly couldn’t hear it much i your video. You mentioned a spring noise, which made me think of it. The clockspring noise I’ve heard sounds a bit like a whine or maybe a zipper noise depending on how fast the wheel is turned. Good luck with it - post back if you figure it out. -
2015 LR4 coolant leak
Agree with djkasone. Rear crossover is usually called a heater manifold on the parts list. Doesn’t look like that was replaced. -
Ticking Sound When Turning?
Probably the clockspring mechanism in the steering wheel. If you search for clockspring in this forum, you should turn up some threads. -
Need some help from the experts to identify this ticking on a '16 LR4
Generally sounds like my engine as well. The one other noise that pops up on the supercharged engine is the supercharger coupler (aka isolator). It’s a spring loaded coupler that tends to fail and can cause a rattle. Usually not an urgent issue, but it’s an easy fix while doing the coolant... -
Bad ECM or something else?
To my understanding, the electronic thermostat is still primarily a thermomechanical mechanism that, in addition, has a heated wax element that the ECM can use to open the thermostat a bit faster when desired. But, the thermostat will still fully open in response to rising coolant temp and a... -
2015 LR4 - Major engine work - Sell / Sell Parts
I agree - I’d have them explain the photos and might even get a second opinion. The timing chain failure doesn’t seem to be common on the scv6. You’ll find posts with people saying that it happens to all models, but I’ve followed these forums pretty closely over the years and have seem much... -
2015 LR4 - Major engine work - Sell / Sell Parts
A little hard to tell what we’re seeing (picture of a picture), and I’m no expert, but image 2 appears to be down the plug hole and maybe showing valve strike marks on the piston head (little half-moon shiny spots). Image 4 is a shot of the open valve and (I assume) the piston surface about to... -
2015 LR 4 won't start (P062A, P0087)
When you say the fuses “don’t work” but don’t look blown - it’s not clear what you mean. Do you mean no voltage across the test pins with the ignition on? If ignition is off, some of the fuses are likely tied to relays that are off. I’d recheck voltage with ignition on. Then pull and check... -
Intermittent clicking sound at idle 5.0L V8
I guess first thing to do is just try spinning the fan by hand with the engine off, and see if you hear it hitting the guard at all. As for the motor mounts, you really can’t see them under the car. But, if you pop the hood, you should be able to see a little of the top of the motor through... -

This is why I was curious about what damage to the heads they showed you with a camera. how did they confirm it was chains vs some of the other timing components mentioned above? did the camera show valve strike marks on the pistons? -

Coolant leak & collapsed top hose when cold?
Once the coolant level gets that low in the reservoir, air gets into the system (might already have been in the system). I’d start with a complete bleed of the system and then start tracking coolant loss. You’ll never have a good idea of coolant loss until you bleed it out, and filling the... -
Intermittent clicking sound at idle 5.0L V8
Maybe fan clutch, but sounds a little different to me. I wonder if the fan is hitting the brush guard in the fan shroud - the sound is kind of “soft” like that. I’ve seen reports of this happening as the motor mounts start to wear (when you rev the motor, it shifts enough to stop rubbing), but... -
LR4 front fuel pumps
There was a TSB out years ago to replace the fuel pumps for noise complaints. But I don’t think the fuel pumps make what I would describe as “knocking.” More of a metallic “ticking” or “tapping” noise caused by the tappets, but it can be quite loud. A pretty fast tempo. “Knocking” makes me... -
Compomotive wheels bent?
Pretty hard to believe all four wheels are bent. You’d probably feel a bent wheel. But you should also be able to see it pretty easily. Jack it up (one at a time or all four) and rig-up a makeshift runout gauge - just any kind of pencil or other stick held close to the rim. Spin it and watch...
