Morning guys, new to this. I need to replace one of the high pressure fuel pumps on a 2013 LR4, 5.0 L. I can’t seem to find access to remove the screws that hold it in place. Any advice would be appreciated! As of today, 64 people have viewed but no replies. Probably because it is almost impossible to get to these pumps. I’ve decided to send the car to a service center and the guy says it’s a 6-7 hour job. To me, it looks impossible without removing the engine or the A frame that holds the wheel, or something else. I’ve decided to pay $1,600 and have the shop do it. To me, a very bad design to put a serviceable part that is so hard to access. I’ll report back with any suggestions. Thanks!

 

Was this work ever done? What were the results? I’m trying to resolve the engine loud clicking on my LR4.
Thanks.

 

These engines are noisy by nature, what makes you think it's specifically the HP fuel pumps?

 

Thanks for your input.
Regarding the noise possibly coming from one of the HP pumps, it was mention on this forum previously as a possible cause of the loud ticking noise, which is more like clacking in my case. I’m leaning towards the HP’s or associated cam shaft, as the process of elimination, too loud a deep to be a lifter noise, the timing chain is quiet and taut. I guess it could be a main bearing slapping, but that would be an even deeper sound, I think (hope). The engine has 150k kilometres and has been regularly maintained by Land Rover dealership.
