I do some higher revs most of the time I drive, no smoke ever. Very clean exhaust gases always.

Ok guys, Iam ready to do for one of you scavange pump mod. For free, only shipping cost.
Good if you dont have JLR turbo drain mode, then we can proof its not needed. Or, you have drain mode but it not solve the smoking issue, like my car.
If someone interested write PM.

I am happy to send you my vacuum pump. I am actually planning to replace it with a new one, hoping it will address the problem. I am actually not getting any smoke issues, but there is some oil in the intercooler and exhaust pipe from the second LH turbo charger.

I am located in Poland and have issues sending any money to a russian mechanic/business man.

Also I will be happy to make his invention open source. I have also a significant engineering experience as an aviation lube system designer, so I quite know what to expect and will be able to comment on how proper this solution is.

Someone mentioned about adding a check valve on the scavenge line between sump and the pump, which is a valid idea. Other things to consider would be to reduce internal clearance in the geared scavenge pump itself to increase its suction pressure and reduce it's sensitivity to air and priming issues.
There is also a vacuum system nearby, so maybe there is a smart way to connect the scavenge oil pump side to the vacuum side to help it's priming and low rpm scavenge potential.

Chap on Facebook has an alternative easy first try fix for smoke screens. Put a new pump on. Easy to access on top of engine.
I’ll try and link to his post and video on Facebook. In essence, the pump wears and can’t suck the oil quick enough out of the turbo drain sump so it then backs up.
It worked for him so definitely worth a try for others. 👍😎

Amazing well done. Got a link?

. Cheers, Greg

I note that there's a later part number LR083155 for the pump that suits all 4.4s but that the original part number LR022758 isn't superseding to the later number when the original number is searched for. Microcat 2012 shows the MY13 L405 as having the original part number.

It looks like I had the last one it was the later part number LR083155 that I purchased. The company was Parks Motor Group.

Mine smoked like james bonds aston when booted, it would last for about 20 seconds it was quite embarassing cars would disapear when I looked out the mirror. I don't have the oil drain mod but was thinking of doing it. I spotted DrRobs post and found a genuine brand new vacuum pump on ebay for £200, I thought it was worth a punt before going £1000 on the drain mod. I fitted the vacuum pump 2 weeks ago and I can happily say I have no more smoke. I plan to strip the old one down to see if I can work out why it failed. My thanks to DrRob for pointing out the Facebook suggestion.

Hi Guys,
I have same smoke issue with my tdv8, replaced the pump, but it didnt cure the problem. I doubt about turbo drain mod as it was working fine then new. Anything to check ? I also run 5w50 oil instead of 5w30 maybe what could be an issue, but somehow hard to believe

Whip your oil filter out and see if the valve is on it's post correctly and not loose in the bottom.

I'm checking mine at next oil change. May also account for the oil light on cold start when parked on a slope. 2012 TDV8 Vogue (L322)

I didn’t know it served a valve function, I’ve always just thought it was a tensioner spring for the oil filter element, so will also be paying more attention to it every oil change.
