#Landrover #LandroverDiscovery #LR3
Every Land Rover Discovery 3 TDV6 has a rear high-pressure fuel pump belt. Most dealer repair shops take the body of the frame in order to service the belt. In reality anybody can do it. We show you in this video how much fun this repair can be. Watch it to the end – it get´s funny.
Thanks!
Vera, Christian & Fabian

Lovely couple
Are you the most popular man in Germany for any one why drivers a landy
Excellent job and excellent content
Use spring type hose clamps for hoses those screw ones are bad news especially on plastic that has large heat expansion, I believe the screw ones are banned in aviation.
Thnx again!
Massive love and Respect ~
Hi Vera and Christian I am a car technician I love both of you are both very entertaining’ can I ask what Christian dose for a job ?’ I guess he’s also a car technician?’ We also get lots of land rover’s in at our garage and them always hard to work on some jobs easier than others’ keep up the good work you two’ I drive a Volvo XC90 as being an ex Volvo technician’ all the best Charles
WHAT A STUIPED PLACE TO HAVE IT
Great video as always, thank you! You can save time by not undoing any ECU and TCM connectors. There is enough space when you remove the coolant pipe that runs across the engine, and the bracket that holds the wiring loom at the back of the engine. You can then pull the wiring loom towards you which creates enough space to get the belt cover out and replace the belt. I always insert the new belt tensioner first, easier to locate it correctly in its insert without the extra tension or presence of the belt. The new belt simply will slide over the tensioner when lifting it over the wheel.
German inginuity, engineering know how doing stuff well. What a mixture british design flaws with you sorting it out however i was shocked at the aftermarket bosch belt with tooth issue however for the original belt not breaking in over 180000 kms shows at least land rover got something right. Imagine if they had japanese electrics and lexus quality mechanics. There are some rubbish toyotas and some good suzuki engineering as proven by the use of suzuki engines in experimental aircraft in aeromomentum engines. A very underated company. Their main fault is their finish on parts as they corrode badly but the rest of them is normally really solid. Built to a price so corners are cut but even maruti suzuki vans like their 800cc van are hammered in india but are very reliable and cheap but mechanics earn poor wages so its very cheap to service them compared to europe or usa.
Well Christian/Vera – I did the job yesterday (under a gloriously sunny warm Corsican sky unlike poor you!) and although my method varied slightly from yours, it was 100% successful, not even a bing or a bing and no spurious messages on startup! My 2 specialists refused (because it's too much trouble no doubt); & the LR stealer in Vannes had asked €2500 (Timing belt at same time with body off).
The only other vid on YT showing the job is terrible and unedited. Your vid gave me a logical progression and saved me from working 'in the dark' which is often a confidence-breaker. Now it's done I'd say it's fiddly but not difficult.
PS The coating on the toothed side of the belt is I believe fibreglass not Teflon. I had the same issue as you (break in the coating, which implies it's 'normal') but my belt is a Dayco (as was the installed belt). NB neither belt had a date or rotation arrow. Keep up the good work, brilliant channel ( the regularity is so important to subscribers as you know) and a major contribution to the Discovery community.
fantastic video how did you manage to fit that belt ,as always I would never buy one of them but great video
do you need to time that belt
That tool is amazing for the heater hose I've got one my self
It will. be a cool day in hell when I will own a Range Rover !
I love your video's! They say that Germans don't have a sense of humor… boy were they wrong!
I have a Discovery2 and looking at your video's always inspires me and gives me confidence I can service mine. Thank you so much and keep it up!
I wonder how difficult it is to lift the body from the chassis
4:44 I'm shocked – so far it's most German thing which I saw))
Did you do the D4?
Sono sempre IO Daniel!!! Quando sarà un video come controllare funzionamento de le candelete? Chi fa acensione le candelete ( se c'è un rele….) grazie
Ciao Fabian!!! Perfavore volevo sapere, cavaleti de alberi camme quanti Nm vengono streti? Per la cinghia distribuzione pompa alta pressione ho fatto anche io uguale!!! Grazie, molto bravo BRAVO
Hi! What a great video, thanks again and again. But One question, though : Have you ever changed the rear crankshaft seal just behind the big fuel pump pulley? I have to do mine as there's a big leak that was a part of the causes that ruined my crankshaft bearings, lacking oil pressure.
British video mode was quite confusing because of tightening the bolts the wrong way. It took me a while to understand why it felt so weird.
Great video guys, i am impressed, i have a question lets say the belt just snapped, do you need to time the fuel pump when replacing that belt or it is not timed, thanx
I was looking for timing belt replacements and I saw a difference in the belts that you can buy on how many dents they have, 82 and 85 for the rear one. There is a difference if you use less dents or it doesn't matter?
At 7.00min, Christian, we now see that you could have become an absolutely, brilliant laparoscopic surgeon. But if you had, we wouldn't have these wonderful videos that you make with your delightful wife Vera. Thank you.
