    Default Land Rover Freelander 2 Smoking

    Good day friends

    I have an freelander 2 with white smoke from exhaust pipe, as I have diagnosed I saw the oil was dripping from the breather hose just after the air filter.

    Has anyone ever had this..
    Any help would be much appreciated
    Thank you

    If i am correct, these have a PCV on rocker cover. This can cause smoke and poor running.

    Ok friend oil burning sorted now.

    Another problem is under hard acceleration I have excessive black smoke from tail pipe. And an intermitted misfire..usally on idle with smoke from tail pipe..

    What was done before it came to me was
    - New injectors (Second hand)
    - New ECU
    - New Filters
    - New Turbo

    I have 2 DTC's as follows..
    P0380 - Glow plug Fault (Not to worried about this fault starting too easy when cold and engine smoking when warm aswell)
    P1402 - EGR Valve (I have blanked EGR Valve at front of engine next to intake as I saw when EGR is open/active, I get 0% which means fully open and when EGR is closed/not active I get 80% meaning the EGR is stuck open)

    What I have seen is that the injectors have not been coded, and when I try to code them operation fails..??

    Please guys help me as this is my buddy's car and he has been struggling for months now
