We had 45K on our 2017 RRS Td6 when we returned it off lease, liked it so much we bought a 2021 version. Except for the intermittent "low quality def detected, no restarts in 250 miles" issue (which appears to be fixed), we love it. 30 MPG at about 75 mph, Portland - Seattle.
Happened in October, November and December 2021 on our Dec 2020-delivered RRS. At 10K, 11K and 12K miles. I was seriously considering lemon law action. They just did a regen the first time, replaced the def spray nozzle the second time, and finally replaced the SCR (whatever that is) the third time. The had opened some report with Land Rover in England (over the Christmas holidays…) to figure out what was going on. Now 18 months later, 33K miles, no issues. I do now have the DEF refilled at the dealer, just in case….
I have a 2016 TD6 Black Top , just hit 110000 miles in the shop now getting the timing belt and high pressure fuel pump belt replaced So this is my first diesel engine and from what I’ve heard it’s best to replace those belts on time or you could ruin your engine if that timing belt goes .
What do they quote for belt service?
Had this too, recently at ~60K miles. They first tried draining/refilling then software update, then replaced DEF tank. it was at the dealer for weeks. would have cost about ~5K I believe but we have extended warranty. This the second time we've had to use it. First time, the driver's side soft close door was not being properly detected as closed, so the doors would not lock. The whole door mechanism was swapped out. Between the two, we are way above water on the warranty, but it runs out in 6 months and strongly on the fence about what to do with the car afterwards.
Yep, every time I go into a JLR dealer and tell them about it, they agree and say “it’s a known problem”. Which, since the diesel is no longer sold in the US, JLR appears to be doing nothing about it.
if there were some way to disable the vehicle getting crippled, I would happily ignore the DEF system entirely.
For the complete 100k service at my Local Range Rover Dealership I paid 4300$, that included fuel filter, oil change and a 70$ cabin air filter. Plus the full inspection.
They snuck that In On me! I just dropped off the truck for the service and that’s what was included. By the way there no Indy shop in my area that would touch the timing belt. So I had to go to the dealership!
Like 20$ US and I probably should have asked what was all included in the 100k service so that’s on me!
Does anyone know for sure if a 2018+ TD6 has this chain issue?
If you know anything about the TDV6/SDV6/TD6 from reading the various posts in this thread, then you know it doesn’t have timing chains. It has two timing belts, one main belt on the front for the crank/cam timing and a second on the rear for the fuel pump.
