- In this episode, we fix the most common oil leak issue on our 4.4L TDV8 Range Rover L405. The leak causes the oil to contaminate the coolant system. Typically, the leak is the oil cooler gasket and can be replaced very easily in a 3 to 30 hour minor repair. It makes also sense to replace the two o-rings of the turbo charger oil supply pipe on the back side of the engine.
We are not liable for any harm you do to your car, your engine, your surroundings or yourself. Use the information given in this video at your own risk.

You will be pleased to know that I fixed my own D4 this week. Not based on your advice but based on your motivation to do so. MAF sensor fail, read codes, replaced part, problem solved. Saved $1000 in mechanic fees. Thank you for the inspiration.
👍💪👌🙋♀️
I do my service myself, but I have nothing to fix on my RRS L320 SDV6, everything works fine !
The inspiration that comes from these videos is 2nd to none
Whoop, whoop! I don't own any LR products but I LOVE the comedic irony of a German couple owning a British vehicle!
There's no irony, they sell Range Rovers in Germany.
When Land Rover allocated the last run 2015 Defender Heritage Edition, they allocated 400 units to the UK ... and 500 to Germany. They are popular trucks. Do you see anything ionic in British people driving BMW, Audi, and Mercedes vehicles?
which is owned by tata motors, India
@@paulwalker427Are you implying that an elephant is more reliable than a Land Rover 😂
Exactly. So good to watch the dynamic between them and the skill on show. Do they actually like Land Rovers or is it all a Teutonic ironic eye roll? I genuinely can’t tell.
"It came equipped with English weather"🤣🤣🤣 Thanks for the interesting, informative and humorous content
I love coming home from the Beach on a Sunday here in Australia and watching these two crazy Germans fix a Range Rover in the cold. And you just know there will never be an end to the content on this. Keep up the good work.
Im in AU’s too. Not sure the rover was to blame here mate. Just content for YT
There's no such thing as a crazy German.
Anyone this into quirky British Engineering is an honorary Brit as far as I am concerned.
Not a Toyota ...
@@Himoutdoors quirky. what like jet engines, trains, the telephone, and on and on it goes...
The one good thing you can say about Land Rover is that it's going to be endless content for you , great video, love the restrained humour,
One should always bear in mind that being in the "service of the queen" in itself, a mark of great prestige & honour. So one should "put their big boy trousers on" and get moving as faulty or broken components do not magically fix themselves. 😂 Greetings from Auckland. You just made my Sunday night. Thank you very much. Wish you a great week ahead.
Happy Birthday. Christian and Vera are happiest when fixing their vehicles, including the complimentary British weather.
As a Land Rover owner, I enjoy your channel immensely. It is a pleasure to watch ho methodically you conduct the work, unlike some Land Rover workshops.
I don't even own a Land Rover, ( I know nothing about Land Rovers) but I love your channel.
You along with all the other You Tube shows have taught me a lot.
I am currently sitting in my lounge looking at my 33 year old Land Cruiser with a new MOT.
I had to do some welding, I have only ever stuck metal together, not really welding.
The MOT test guy said my welding is atrocious, I was so happy, from sticking metal together to atrocious welding in a year.
I am hoping to be a bad welder this time next year.
😂😂😂
Vera & Christian, I´m a spanish follower after a while, now I´m very happy because I´ve a L322 with the same engine and last year I made the same reparation + replaced the broken left valve cover. You are brilliant and funny...I stand every Sundays for another episode of my preferred channel in TH-cam. Happy birthday to you Christian and thanks also to Vera, the woman dreamed of by any mechanics enthusiast!
Christian Happy Birthday for you
Great work Christian and Vera. I loved the final resolution however I’d did like the spring calculations.
Thanks.
Going from the discovery to the Range Rover looks like going from a 1000 piece puzzle to a 10000 piece puzzle. Clearly you two loves your puzzles 😂😂😂
It's not that bad, and it's not as cluttered as on a Disco 4. 😅🙋♀️
Happy 40th birthday Christian 😊🎉
Dedication for your repair + humour makes it enjoyable.
Sunday has become my most anticipated day....
Boy oh boy i wish you lived in Suffolk UK You make it look so easy
HBD Christian!
I have to say there are some good things about Land Rover ownership, they keep one busy, they keep one out of trouble and they keep one of the streets (roads, tracks!?)
Seriously though great repair and camera work too, hope it was the problem. Happy belated birthday as well.
Meanwhile we just went right across Australia again in our Toyota LC in the worst weather ever, floods, wind, rain like sheets and mud, lots of clay mud! No problems. Well..., I thought I had one but I was mistaken. Lol.
Happy birthday Christian 🎂
Whilst my wife watches ‘her’ programmes, I watch your videos with my earphones on. She constantly gives me ‘the look’ when I laugh out loud. When I tell her I’m watching a German couple who are repairing (rebuilding?) their Land Rovers, I get an even more strange look! Your interaction is brilliant and who knew that Germans did irony and sarcasm? I have to say the repairs aren’t too bad to watch either. I believe Christian is a compulsive tinkler……maybe just as well he isn’t a gynaecologist!
Alles Gute zum Geburtstag Christian
Sounds like the perfect birthday, Christian. Tools vehicles and, of course, the amazing Vera. Brilliant video
Only special people would rather fix their Land-Rovers on their Birthday, than drive them.
Christian and Vera have a birthday at least once every week!
We, who watch this channel every Sunday, also have a birthday each week.
Followed by 6 days either worrying about our own LR’s, or thinking we are really lucky they haven’t broken down….yet!
Maybe we just don’t look at them in detail enough.
😅👍🙋♀️
Good morning Vera & Christian on this chilly Sunday morning 😊 Love how you’re so protective towards the Queen 👸 Loved the operation on the oil cooler as it did really looked like you was a Heart ❤️ surgeon Christian. Have a fantastic week until next Sunday when we see some more Queen surgery lol 😆 Cheers Stevie 🏴
Inspired by Your video, I started to work on my Toyota by fixing the leaks which were not leaking and upgrading the parts, which were working fine. Now I am a happy camper and have CEL and feel spiritually close.
I love the teamwork from you guys, it's so good to watch. Those Landrovers are such a challenge and you both overcome the problems they present.
Just a quick tip. When you buy a new battery keep the little terminal caps off it. When you pop the negative terminal of the ol’ Rangie pop one on the negative terminal. Greetings from a Toyota owner in Australia. I can confirm Range Rover owners do put the wrong fluids in the wrong holes
I had to change the disco 4 timing belts front and the dreaded rear (with the body on). Took me two days to get it done and you two have given me the knowledge of what to expect thank you
Lr4 rear belt is a 10 on the LR scale and a 19 on the Toyota scale. Good job. Have not done a rear belt on a LR4 with the body on. Christian
I watched this video because I own a Range Rover Sport SC so I was interested in seeing what the issue was with the machine. I lost complete interest in the repair issue and just enjoyed listening to these two interact 😂.
A very Regal repair, great video 😊
Nice to change the coolant tank so it’s spotless clean ❤
Good to see you using Full Fat forum. I’ve been on there for a few years now
DrRob 😊
It came equipped with English weather 😂, i love that quote!
Happy Birthday. Have a wonderful day and great detailed video.
Aww bless her don't let her get get cold give her a cuddle.
Great video again guys. I’m enjoying following you learn all about the L405 👍🏻
Happy birthday Cristian! thank you for what you do you are really good 🎂🥂🎉
Love your videos! Keep up the great work 🤩
What patience you have with these cars I love them but there always seems to be a problem with them 😫 love your videos you two 🤣😂
Man's gotta have his shed or workshop.. and naturally more enjoyable on his Birthday!
My mind still boggles watching Christian get down and dirty on Range Rovers
Great video.. hats off to Vera the camera Lady!
😊🙏🙋♀️
Be shure to replace coolant expansion tank cap. A number of coolant leaks are result of stuck pressure relief valve inside this cap.
So, if it starts to leak somewhere because of pressure inside cooling system can't escape thru the valve and finds weak spots over and over again.
They replaced the entire coolant expansion tank, which comes with a cap.
I love how Vera didn’t mind you using her toothbrush on the Queen.
We had - 43 C negative temp here in Sweden last week .that is cold, but you dont do carrepairs outside if not needed.Happy birtday and a Good 2024 with lots of videos for our sundaypleasure.
🥶🙋♀️
Must be nice to drive with such a big engine but I loved the 2.0 in my Mitsubishi Outlander, there was so much room that you could stand between the engine and the radiator and easily reach everything.
I recently had surgery and was impatiently waiting for your video.. love my Sundays
Hope you are all better now👍👌🙏🙋♀️
Wow it was worth taking it a part just to clean all that soot out, I just love these Big Range Rovers they look so good, I would love to go out in one just to see how quiet it is and smooth.
I have recently discovered your channel and am much enjoying it. I drive a P38 with a BMW engine. I brought it as a project but watching you I get my fix without getting either cold or dirty. It doesn't break, the HVAC book is displayed but the heater works, and I did have problems with the engine speed momently increasing by 300rpm, changed every sensor and then found I could have sorted it by cleaning the MAF sensor, BUT it runs perfect and appears to start easy when the engine is hot.
I was a little confused by the term 'mole crawler' but then I saw 'Mall Crawler' in one of your comments, and then I knew what you meant, you meant a 'Chelsea Tractor'.
Some wooden platforms/step to stand on with legs set to enable you to reach easily into the engine may help. You could build a U section around the bonnet. With an easy remove section to allow access to the pit.
We have our repair methids dialed in for our needs. 😃👍🙋♀️
When I bought mine, some 3 years ago, it just had the oil cooler replaced. Apparently it had been a severe leak, and the mechanics had done a very poor job cleaning up the mess. It was smelling burnt oil for a couple of months. But that, along with an unnecessary gearbox adaptation reset after a fluid change, that made the gearbox slip on almost every gear for several weeks, I got it dirt cheap. The oil smell slowly faded and the clutches started to grip again after it had again started to get a grip on realities.
Looking at all the carbon buildup in your butterfly valve (exactly: It is not a throttle!) and inlet manifold, I think I've got a plan. Mine has done 208 000 km now, so I'll, at least, stick a borescope in there.
Mine has the slipping trans too. I did a fluid change and adaptation reset. It shifts like new but it is not as solid on launch when cold. Not as good as my LR4 TDV6. Christian
Hi Wera and Christian. More English - we loosen bolts and nuts, not open as in German. Right out is remove. I removed a bolt (Wera put it in the box). I loosened a bolt but didn't remove it. (Sorry Wera)! Great Video! Kind Regards David
Have a look at foil tape, it’s like sticky aluminium foil and great to close up hoses and ports etc when you strip things, another brilliant video thanks guys.
Thank you both for your detailed explanations and problem solving, just wish I had the same tooling to better fix my own RR.
Now if the queen could develop the “P006A-84 (27) Manifold absolute pressure - mass or volume air flow correlation - Bus signal/message failure - signal is below allowable range”
It would be very much appreciated 😂
Nope it’s not split rubbers on the plenum or leaky intake manifold…
You know. My LR4 must have been listening, because it just sprung a P0106-00 manifold pressure code on me!!
Smoke test first and clean Maf sensor. Then if that doesn’t work wait till the queen develops the fault and watch for the proper fix 😂
Car ownership is a hobby which you if you can DIY.
If not it is a very expensive money pit, where others waste your time and money without necessarily curing the original issue.
Thats Life, Not LR Time ideloigy. Good work guys, Stay rich, and keep sending the message.
Vera called problem in the first few seconds 😂😂 oil put in the coolant bottle by the previous owner. And great direction from Vera.....take 1. water in the oil bottle nooooo take 2. oil in the water bottle 😂😂
You should spray dpf cleaner into the air intakes to clean out the system works a treat.🏴
One solution for comfortable access to the engine bay is to use your two post lift. Raise it to just above engine height (without a vehicle on it) with the arms facing inwards then strap down a sheet of plywood with a piece of foam or similar then, with the bonnet up, drive the RR carefully under it. Shame your lift is outside as it might be a bit chilly at the moment 🥶
I think we manage just fine. 😅👍🙋♀️
Happy belated birthday Christian. It would be good to analyze the oil stains inside the tank. It could tell you wether it is old oil from the machine or new oil that was accidentally put in the cooling system.
It is amazing how much carbon was removed from the inlet. I am just wandering if mine is in the same condition. I have always thought of this inevitable situation and try to avoid it,
All the best!
Galo Pérez
Christian, whilst you had the oil cooler removed it would have been worthwhile doing a pressure test with air, probably from the coolant side. I've had two coolers fail internally, albeit on my old Passat, causing the same contamination issue. Another great video!
We have done more than enough pressure and vacuum test on that vehicle. This repair was almost two months ago. It's actually the first thing we did. 👍🙋♀️
The amount of carbon build up you scraped out is scary and was definitely needed.👍🏿👍🏿
Very entertaining, great skills, would love to see you guys work on a 300TDI Discovery (I have a ‘96, as an occasional use car ) but I suspect you could not put up with lack of power and cornering ability. Being retired I have always thought there is no way I could afford the financial risk of owning a more modern RR or LR, and it’s good to get that confirmed by your vids!
A lot of cars that spurt oil out of rear seals etc and sprays oil mist into the oil breather that feeds warm air into the air box. Many times it's a defective PCV valve causing over pressure. My friend worked at a Volvo dealership and it was very common. Same for my W211 mercedes too.
I am amazed you managed to narrow it down to just one "most common problem" ;)
Guys, you are so nice and positive! I wish all the mechanics worked as good as you do. Cool!
Belated happy birthday Christian, it really was like surgery
Many Happy returns. At this stage, it's only the car which is incontinent. Celebrations!
Luckily.
As a freelander 2 owner, I'd love your sons first car to be a freelander 2.
And happy belated birthday!
We had a Freelander 1 for 10 years, and we did consider buying another Freelander. But the Freelander costs just as much in tax and insurance as our Discovery 3 here in Germany. Robin is, for now, still happy with his B-Class. Which I cannot understandt. 😅👍🙋♀️
That intake manifold reminds me very much of our 93 Ford Explorer . The first time took 3 hours and after 4 or 5 times about 20 minutes..
Vera, you are correct Christian would make a great surgeon. Happy Belated Birthday Christian I could not believe all of the buildup inside the intake and egr.
Christian is a true artist, 😊 he makes things look easy. Congratulations. A hug from Portugal.
Wie immer bei Euch - köstlich zuzuschauen und lehrreich dazu. Vielen Dank und weiterhin viel Spaß! Gruß Uli
😊🙏🙋♀️
Nice to see the wing covers reaching over clothing can scratch the paint.
Love your videos. I need this job done on my 2013 and my garage can’t give me a date. So I’m thinking of doing it myself.
Would not surprising that you start building a new bigger garage for the big Queen.
Hi clean the container out with some acid as we do on boat engines . Great work once again and I am still not purchasing an LR . Hyundai rules 134 K miles and only The roll bar bushes replaced under warranty no brakes disc or pads replaced . Tyres 70k miles . Hence it gives me time to watch you both .🤩🤩
just a little tip if you look on your windscreen where the wipers rest you will see a little cross this is where your wipers should be when not working and yes it is cold here to so i do not envy you working out in the weather thanks for the interesting video
I will check that out. Thanks for the hint. Christian
My goodness, if u want a Land Rover then u need to make sure u want to work on a Land Rover. I mean when u buy a Landie, u need to also buy a 3 car garage to have the space to work on the Landie and still have space for all the tools. I love cars but im loving the idea of 3 cylinder cars as they become more and more complex. At least u have space with a 3 cylinder. ps. u guys are a inspiration and a warning to prospective landie owners. Nice.
Great video Christian/Vera Oh happy belated birthday, i once changed an alternator on my Volvo 242GT on my birthday before my girlfriend could take me out to dinner that was almost 40 yrs ago,LOL , Christian i love to work in my garage on my vehicles and own a good propane heater that produces 44,000 BTU's, and here in in Central Canada it is -28 with a windchill of -38 so i will wait a week it is suppose to be back up to -8 to-11 , just a tie rod end and block heater, Volvos are much less complex than the Queen and her delicate parts 😁, you have the best assistant on youtube, organizes , give you tools and even a share of OMG"S and films you to 👍 thx again it is motivating to watch you to
A foam mat would work and make it less painful to work ontop of the engine bay. Glad to see that it appears to not be that horrific to work on. Also Happy Birthday, such a nice present, a oil leak on a cold day!
LOL 👍. Thanks. Christian
OMG it’s LR Time! 😁
IC nurce Vera is very well trained and pro ;)
A tip, to clean out the coolant bottle i've read & used mixed washing machine detergent (liquid type) as it breaks down the oil
I save those black and red terminal caps that come with new batteries. I reuse them again and again for disconnecting and storage.
Happy Birthday Christian hope you had a fun Birthday 🥳
Now there were a lot of funny quips in this week's video, but to tell the truth I fell over my couch laughing at "it came equipped with English weather!" That just hit sooo close 😂😂
😅👍🙋♀️
Said it before and i will say it again best You Tube Channel ! Thanks guys!
😅🙏🙋♀️
Thanks. Greetings over to our old home Rochester Hills, MI. Lived there 9 years. Christian
Your videos has become one of those things I have to check first thing Sunday morning. May be a bit addictive to be honest. Would be interesting to see how you bled the coolant system. May be you will do one in coming weeks. Keep up the lovely videos rolling.
it‘s always a mess. we started to open it on the top hoses, it‘s a bit less messy.😅👍 but stuff like that happens in a fraction of time and not really content for a separate video. But watch the next video on my Disco 3. We show it briefly.🙋♀️
Love the channel. Also just bought an L405 2015 SDV8 in December so very very much enjoying these videos!
Anyone else keep track of the Vera 'OMG's' ... Or is it just me?
I've just stumbled on your channel, watched every second of this, Top Bloke, 2 Queens and a camera :)
Very much enjoyed, Cheers 👍
wow i thought the TDV6 was a rats nest of hose's until i saw that horror whatever happened to elegant engine design! (good to see you up and about Vera :) )
Oh, this engine looks much more organized, than the Disco 4. You actually have to work on one to see the easy acces it has. 🙋♀️
Happy birthday, Christian!
It is very late, but Happy Birthday Christian. Great video as always you two!
Happy Birthday Christian 🎉
Your a very lucky man Christian to spend your birthday with your lovely wife and the Queen. Happy birthday .
I love watching you two! I have 3 P38’s so if you ever find some spare time, they need work…😂
another great episode. happy belated birthday Christian,
I’ve noticed an oil leak back end of the engine no sine from the top, and the coolant seems clean. But I think it’s most likely the oil cooler but going to to do some digging.
Enjoying watching your adventures and repairs.
I have recently changed the oil cooler housing on my L322 4.4 tdv8 but also changed the EGR housing to block gasket which is located under the aluminium section in the middle of the V, if you think the bit you did was hard, it's a special world of pain. Mine was leaking coolant and oil externally, also changed the thermostat housing and lots of pipework as it had all gone brittle.
Is it advised to change the egr housing to block gasket or does an unknown oil leak higher up tend to be oil cooler housing seals? My car is leaking oil down the bell housing and I'm hoping it's from the oil cooler and not further down. Did you see / know it was coming from from Lower down? Thanks
That wasn't too bad, I changed the oil cooler seals on a Mercedes OM642 engine and compared to a RR it was an absolute nightmare. The Mercedes did at least have a maintenance setting on the bonnet struts which made it a lot easier when sitting on top of the engine to remove the turbo.
Very entertaining. Many happy returns, Christian.
