Land Rover Defender 2.4 2007 - Engine noise & performance loss #

Posted by Peter Mashiter on December 2, 2015, 5:02 pm

Year of Manufacture *: 2007
Engine Size and Code *: 2.4 244dt
( Optional) Fault Codes: Non

Engine performance loss symptom?
Loud engine knocking noise?
Seems to rev freely when stood (dare not drive it)

Exhaust emissions seem o.k!

Cannot determine as yet if it is a true engine knocking noise or injection misfire causing knocking noise symptom?????

Read a tech bulletin about this 2.4 Ford Puma engine stating that early engine numbers have sticking lower piston oil cooling jets at cold causing engine damage & wear.
