‘Coughing’ from air intake?!
Hi.
My 2015 defender 2.2tdci is making some strange coughing/hiccup noises from the air intake during light acceleration. Not noticeable during hard acceleration (can’t hear it if it is happening). My turbo obliterated itself about 5k miles ago and it’s been doing this chuffing since the new one was installed. New intercooler fitted at the same time. I have been to the stealers but they can’t diagnose it because it’s been remapped 😒. I have replaced the air flow meter and maf sensor and EGR valve.

I have recorded the sound but I can’t work out how to share it on the post 🤷🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️

Any insight greatly appreciated!

Tom

That sounds very similar to a problem that I had, which was eventually resolved by replacing the turbo actuator. I described the sound as similar to a dump valve on a hot hatch. You can read the details here:

I have tried putting to old actuator on the new turbo and it’s still the same… Aldo I drove without the bonnet on to see what is happening with the actuator but it doesn’t seem to be moving when the sound comes….
Maybe the remap is causing issues with the new turbo 🤷🏻‍♂️

All I can say is that there were no obvious faults with the old actuator but replacing it with a new one cured the problem. There were no faults logged, either.

I can't see how a map would create the problem, I'm afraid. Darren

Hmmm.
Maybe if it’s doing it for both actuators it could be the wiring at fault to the actuator 🤔

Did you fit an upgraded intercooler such as a BAS IC ?
Since I fitted a BAS IC I don’t get any hesitation but do get a bit of a brief induction roar from the side air intake during light acceleration, such as exiting a mini roundabout.

I did put a bigger intercooler in yes, but I can’t see how that could be making a noise like back pressure.
I am thinking that the turbo has not been set up properly ( it’s a reconditioned one) and that is why it’s making the noise with both actuators.

A bigger intercooler shouldn't make any difference. I have one fitted to mine without any other changes.

I missed your earlier post and didn't realise that you'd actually tried two different actuators. On that basis, I'd be inspecting the wiring to it looking for any damage to the insulation. You may have to unwrap it from a loom to do so.

Whilst I appreciate that it's a different component, I found this damage to my MAF sensor wiring, which just appeared to be from vibration and yours could be something similar:

I had similar wiring issue on my 2.2 turbo actuator and MAF connectors, luckily not causing any problem but bought new connectors with flyleads from Martin and got an auto electrician to splice them in.

Ok. Thanks, I’m on holiday from tomorrow but will take a look when I get back and post results!
