2014 Defender 90 Puma 2.2 XS CSW Loire Blue

2.2 stopped and won't restart.

Hi all,

I need some help with an issue with our 2014 2.2 90.
I am based in Australia so it doesn't have a dpf. For reference we bought it new. It has done 175k km. It has never had any remap etc and has been serviced every 10k km since new.

Driving along a few weeks ago and it stopped and wouldn't restart. Got it towed home. It attempts to start and occasionally will run for a few seconds roughly and then stops again. It's very smokey when it does half start.

I've done a compression test and I don't think it's holed a piston which was my initial concern. Turbo seems fine. It does have fuel at the rail. No codes on the ECU I can see using a generic code reader.

Anyone had similar? I wonder if it's fuel pump / pressure related.

Thanks! 2001 90 HT 6.0LS/6spdAuto.

The VCV perhaps? But not that common on 2.2s. 1988 90 Hard Top, 19J Diesel Turbo, Shire Blue - Restoration ongoing

As said, the VCV. Also check if the fuel pump works. I guess it should spit fuel through the fuel pipe located just before goes into the HP pump. Puma 110" SW

I thought the VCV is only fitted to the 2.4. The 2.2 has a different system I.e a lift pump in the fuel tank.

The 2.2 does have a VCV, however i’ve not read any posts on one failing. Unlike the 2.4 where it is a common issue.

That’s not to say in this instance it’s not the VCV, but faults seem to be vary rare. Noting that the absence of any DTC’s tends to point to the VCV.

Have you replaced the fuel filter recently? Have you drained the fuel filter to see if there is any water in it ?
When you turn the ignition to 2 , but not start the engine, can you hear the pump in the tank circulating fuel ?

Worth checking the fuel pump relay and fuse in the seatbox https://www.lrworkshop.com/wiring-diagram/...fuel-lines

NB- if you do decide to change the VCV here is a great how to for the 2.2 https://www.defender2.net/forum/topic86260.html?highlight=vcv
