Defender Fuel Rail Pressure Sensor 2.4 TDCI
Chaps

I've had a seemingly regular problem of my 2011 2.4TDCI Puma losing power and erratic stalling. Already replaced VCV, cleaned MAF and MAP, checked battery earthing, under drivers seat fuses/relays etc. New filters. No error codes on OBD reader...

So I have decided to change the Fuel Rail Pressure Sensor

This looks the right one (DENSO 55PP05-01):

Before I order...could anyone confirm please?

I had similar symptoms - really frustrating !
In the end, as it is the wifes daily driver Defender, and it has done 89k miles, I wanted the problem to go away, so I fitted VCV, the sensor (same as your part number) , and the pressure relief valve - DENSO PART NUMBER : 095420-0260 CROSS REFERENCE NO: 6C1Q-9H321-AB. Please note though that you will need to put some thread sealant for the pressure relief valve. I used some diesel resistant ptfe tape on the threads I had from an earlier central heating boiler (oil) repair, which did the job, but it looks like Land Rover use a fuel resistant thread sealant. Not sure which part cured it but been fine for the last few thousand miles.

Thanks for the info llessur

I have ordered the part, and also the thread sealant.

I'm assuming I'll need to re- prime the fuel circuit and bleed all the air out after changing the fuel rail sensor.

Fingers crossed. This has been going on a while now, and I'm really hoping to get my confidence back! It played-up in the M6 roadworks the other day, was terrifying surrounded by the lorries with nowhere to go (no hard shoulder). Defender "Puma" 2.4 110 County Utility (possibly the last of the 2.4's)

Hiya MartinK,

I know this an old post but did this solve your issue as I have the same symptoms and looking to replace the HPS - did you have to run any learn cycles with software or was it just plug and play?

Thanks

Matt

Hi Matt.

No...in the end it was a succession of knackered VCV's... https://www.defender2.net/forum/topic85644.html?highlight=vcv Defender "Puma" 2.4 110 County Utility (possibly the last of the 2.4's)
