Discovery 3 2.7TDV6 Timing Belt and Oil Pump Change

[@vehiclemaintenanceandrepai3790]

Thanks for the video, it will surely help those looking to do this procedure on their own vehicle, some people just do not realise how much effort it takes to make such a video, thanks once again, greetings from South Africa.

[@payrtyboy]

Brilliant! Great tips, the added entertainment was a bonus! found myself starting so many jobs and coming across 'bumps'. Well done!

[@mykeready3742]

Thank you for making this video. It’s really helpful. 👍🏻👍🏻

[@tubecraft1795]

10out of ten for the effort making this video Thankyou I’m doing a 3 liter one and debating whether to do the oil pump on account of the beaking tensioner lug issue

[@timdaff]

Thanks John. Just watched again to check I wasn’t going mad. Those fucking timing tools are ridiculous. I’ve ground mine to fit too.

[@Taz6688]

Popped up in my recommended list, didn't see you replace the water pump? would have been easy while all those parts were off

[@JoaoMartins-nh5ec]

Very Good Work, John. Quantas horas de trabalho, cobram na Land Rover, para trocar este kit? Muito obrigado, desde Portugal.

[@bradleycarroll8360]

yep confirmed... not doing it myself thanks John nice video

[@MrDionatan89]

Good morning mister, Here in Brazil ... the mechanics (some don't have the experience, or don't read the manual) have the habit of lifting the entire body to change the engine's timing belt .... What's your opinion about that

[@fidelcastro9579]

Great efforts sir!

[@MrThommo78]

How did you fit the new seal for the oil pump mate? Did you have the tool? You also didn’t show how you got the crankshaft bolt out. Would help me at the moment! Lol

[@jsrmacleod]

The crank is locked via the fly wheel mentioned in the video, that's the locking pin that goes in above the starter motor

[@markwoodward7722]

Hi John. I take it you set the engine on the compression stroke tdc No.1?

[@jsrmacleod]

Not yet, I'm going to leave it until the weather improves, might do a video on it too.

[@theredneckpirate5792]

John Macleod 3 years later...... how are you getting on? 😁😝

[@Leamingtongav]

Hi John - Great video. Did you have any info to confirm th flywheel timing locking pin is ok to handle the torque of taking the crankshaft bolt out. I see there is a pricey tool with teeth on it to lock the flywheel. Might be cheap if the pin breaks. Just collecting parts to do this right now. I noted the kits say don't undo the camshaft pulleys using the pin so this made be worry about the crank which has mega torque on it...

[@NHEFF09]

hi how did you get on with your build

[@trevorelgram846]

John can we take out the oil pump from the front of my land rover discovery 3 2010 model Trev in sunny cape Town

[@michaelfowke4161]

Very good to see how it’s done

[@jasonwhiteside5001]

Got disco 3 hse 190 thousand miles full history important best car ever had

[@grahambroadbent7175]

Thanks John, Great stuff. I am about to attempt this on my own Discovery 3. It looks a bit daunting at first but I have a bit confidence after seeing this. Did you also do your fuel pump drive belt at the rear. Cheers Graham

[@jsrmacleod]

+Graham Broadbent No I've not done the fuel pump belt, I was limited for time as I work offshore and only had a couple of days left where I had other things to do, that and the weather was really bad, I'll leave it until the better weather, to be honest looking at the belt I took off the car I suspect that they might have been replaced already, I'll still do it though and will maybe do another video to cover it.

[@daddydan1000]

Good video good information as I have one at work to do tomorrow

[@pugslycerberus2797]

Nice work mate 🔧

[@BrunoLopes63]

Hello man, great job. I am rebuilding the same engine but fitting a Citroen C6. Can you help me with a thing? Is there any place (hole, pin or something) where the belt tensioner inserts so it don't rotates freely?

[@kennycurrie5289]

13min 3secs the part that he touches what is this part called? Cheers

[@aleksandrzinkevics1253]

Can I just ask why u disided to change it so early. ? looks like milage was a bit 50 though and miles at the moment of change? going to do my jaguar 3.0 tdi similar engine now it's 106 miles on the clock and timing never been changed. cheers as fare as I am aware manual said timing belt due when milage is 168000 km

[@diagnosticdave]

Looking at this I don't think you had to remove the bottom pulley at all. Also as long as you mark the pulleys and realign before installing the belt you'll be fine and use drill bits in the holes

[@reelfishingsibandshore.851]

Cracking job m8

[@ksg4984]

Great job.But how you lock the crankshaft with special tool to take out pulley

[@jsrmacleod]

The crank is locked directly via the fly wheel locking pin. Some would recommend you don’t do that but it was fine

[@hervehourlier2461]

Merci John 👍

John Macleod Hello Mr. John. I have a problem with my Land Rover Discovery 3 tdv6 2.7 when I step on the accelerator at 20 speed. The brake signal and anti-skid signal lights up and the letter F is written on the transmission and then it goes torque the car and then as I did not stop the air pump signal lights up After that happens, shut down the engine and restart it so the problem goes and when I repeat the process the problem returns. Can you help me to solve this problem Thanks for your understanding and help me in advance

[@jsrmacleod]

Sorry, I only just saw your question. The F is obviously for fault, I suspect that your wiring loom from the automatic transmission to the ECU has a broken wire. I had issues with mine, I needed a new loom fitted, it was too complicated for me, I put it to the garage, it cost me £700 to do and that was with a used replacement loom.

[@ahmadassad1049]

John Macleod Well, it's okay, my friend, I think that the problem I have is with the fuel pressure regulator on the main pump anyway. I wanted to confirm to me what exactly is the problem is from the main fuel pressure regulator or is located inside the tank

[@piotrpietrzak7671]

To change oil pump does it require to remove oil pan, oil pan extension... and a part of suspension (like indicated in Haynes) or it can be done from the front of the engine (possibly removing generator and aux belt tensioner? Can anybody tell?

[@nickputter3300]

Discovery D3 TDV6 Engine failure. Is this imminent and at what Km can one expect failure

[@robertharrison9490]

hi john is this a 2007 D3

[@pugslycerberus2797]

Nice job

[@NHEFF09]

is this the same for a 07 rrs 2.7 hse tdv6

[@daniel-hi5fh]

how long does it take to change the oil pump? more than 2 hours?

[@jsrmacleod]

I think I could do the whole job in 4 to 5 hours now but it took me the day to figure it all out.

[@martinkulik9466]

while watching, u literally skipped all important work...not sure why, you had free hands

[@martinkulik9466]

you skipped important parts that would be helpful to be on the video, such as removing belt, the plastic cover, etc....so video maybe only half helpful if any

[@robertmadoda2282]

Hi I have problem with disco 4 I was changing the turbo charged and I replaced timing belt now it does not start with no fault codes, it just cranking fast but not firing please help.

[@cdjengineeringpracticalstu357]

Robert Madoda try checking crank sensor - if you have unplugged / regapped it then this can cause your symptoms

[@aaronditchfield781]

No compression the timing is out

[@VIVA685]

Well done

[@milosprazenka4616]

is that 2.7 HDi from PSA

[@MrJeronimo94]

Yes! Same engine is in the Peugeot 407 and 607, Citroen C5 and C6. Also in the Jaguar XJ and XF.

[@NHEFF09]

cheaper to order oil pump from Peugeot

[@donpedrochannel2529]

Are h base in uk?

[@judgedredd9574]

excelant job

[@NHEFF09]

shame you didnt show the oil pump bein fitted.but nice video

[@jsrmacleod]

As I said in the video guys Facebook is always a good source of information, I myself would be happy to answer any questions and my FB handle is John SR Macleod

[@oggioffshore]

Tnx for sharing

[@paulasilvianasilva2234]
