🥎 Land Rover Discovery 3 Tdv6 Problems

The crankshaft in the Land Rover 3.0 TDV6 engine is the main cause of failure. This is because by design the crankshaft is compact and narrow, meaning it has weak points between the rod bearing journals and counterweights. So this means the weak point in it’s construction are stressed not only by normal operation but with poor maintenance Turns out Land Rover does sell a non-DPF version of the L494 in certain markets, would likely cost a fortune but I’m curious how a guy would go about getting those parts over to North America…. Another, potentially cheaper option I might look into is whether one of the many full DPF delete/turbo-back kits available for the 3.0 Powerstroke My MY15 3.0 Lt spun a bearing in March at 140,000 k's. The Land Rover quote of $38,000 is not an option, nor is a second hand engine at $15,000 and $5,000 labor from an independent. A rebuilt engine with a billet crank is on it's way from the UK.

Find a suitable "catch can".ie any 300ml softdrink bottle and cable tie it in a position with the overflow bottle discharge in its neck. If you are catching coolant here,replace the coolant cap and pray hard.If its not the cap it can only be a head gasket. GOODLUCK. Originally Posted by BobD.

One of the common problems we fix with the TDV6 engine from Discovery 3, Discovery 4, and Range Rover Sport as the vehicles get older is EGR valves – Exhaust Gas Recirculation Valves. The EGR system is a method that has been developed by engineers to reduce emissions from engines. They open only at idle, and at full throttle, to allow some of My experience is we had an SDV6 also break the crankshaft at about 180,000kms in a similar fashion, knock knock knock, pull over and car died on side of the road. Our fix was to source a lower km second hand motor (ours is a 2012 Disco 4, so it was well out of warranty) after our quote from LR Australia was given to us ($40k). .
