active0 LAND ROVER RANGE ROVER
Under bonnet fuel hoses routed on top of the engine may chafe against a plastic moulded noise suppressing material retaining posts of the underside of the engine top cover. The Noise, Vibration and Harshness (NVH) foam pad is secured to the underside of the engine top cover by plastic moulded retaining posts and securing star washers. These retaining posts and securing star washers have insufficient clearance and may contact the fuel hoses routed on top of the engine. In this condition the fuel hoses can, over time, chafe through the protective sleeve and fuel hose. Should the fuel hose wear through, there will be an increased diesel fuel odour due to diesel fuel leaking. If this warning is ignored, diesel fuel may leak onto the exhaust manifold or onto the road surface.
