"Reduced engine performance' | |
I have had this problem which even LR Malaysia cannot solve.
The symptoms:
'Check Coolant level' message is constantly on my dash: . Engine temp is normal (never overheats), coolant reservoir is never low. Maybe there is a sensor fault. I will replace the sensor which is on order. Why does my car still tell me to check the level? could it be the concentration amount of coolant/water is not at optimum ratio?
The engine warning light come on from time to time. I take it to LR, they connect my car with their computers and NO faults! They will clear the engine warning light. Problem will go away for a few days but will inevitably return. I will be driving on motorway cruising speeds then suddenly the car will lose power. Then I get the message "Reduce engine performance".
I would switch off the ignition. Car will be ok for another 5 miles of brisk driving then power is lost again. I keep having to pull off the motorway to reset and it is becoming a bit tedious. However this doesn't happen in town... maybe because of low speeds?
Since LR Malaysia tells me there are no fault codes. They just erase the engine warning light but they still haven't solved my problem yet. Any advice guys? '01 1.8i Freelander. Grey/ grey
