Land Rover Part Number: ESR3162 - Dump Valve and Bracket Assembly
ESR3162 is a dump valve and bracket assembly fitted to the air cleaner system on Land Rover Defender models equipped with 300Tdi and Td5 engines. The valve provides a controlled vent path in the intake tract to relieve excess pressure, reducing strain on intake hoses and connections, while the integrated bracket secures the valve to the air cleaner body and positions the outlet for correct routing and clearance. Replace the assembly if the valve leaks, sticks or the bracket is damaged; inspect adjacent hoses and clamps at the same time. Common signs of a failing unit include audible air leakage or abnormal noises from the intake area.
