Land Rover Range Rover TDV8

The Siemens piezo injectors of the 368DT are very sensitive and expensive. Inspections frequently reveal multiple failed injectors (documented: 4 out of 8). New injectors cost approximately €500 each.

Symptoms: Rough running, individual cylinder fault codes, power loss, increased fuel consumption, limp mode

The 368DT high-pressure pump is prone to failure. Vehicles enter limp-home mode after 12–15 km of driving. Fault codes for low fuel rail pressure are typical.

Symptoms: Limp mode after a few kilometres, hard start, fault codes for low fuel rail pressure

The water-cooled EGR cooler can pass coolant into the intercooler. Over roughly three years the coolant slowly fills the intercooler until it reaches the turbo and enters the engine, causing severe engine damage.

Symptoms: Sporadic power loss, white smoke, after years: sudden catastrophic engine failure

Plastic coolant pipes and the thermostat housing become brittle from heat cycling and can crack suddenly. By the time the temperature warning shows, the engine is often already overheated.

Symptoms: Sudden coolant loss, overheating warning, steam from the engine bay

The variable vanes of the 368DT turbochargers coke up with soot and carbon deposits. Turbo actuators and actuator motors fail. Frequent long-distance driving reduces the risk.

Symptoms: Power loss, turbo whistle, vane overheating, limp mode under acceleration

Wabco or Hitachi compressor loses output pressure due to worn piston rings. Vehicle drops after parking, slow rise, compressor runs continuously. Repair kits available; new compressor approx. 700–900 euros. Regarded as the most common fault on the L322.

Steel body rusts at the rear wheel arches, sills and tailgate. Water collects at the lower tailgate edge and leads to blistering and rust-through. Sill area and running boards are also typical problem zones.

ECUs are located under the front seats and in the engine bay — immediately at risk when water enters through a leaking windscreen or sunroof. Cascading fault messages from air suspension, gearbox and ABS are often a consequence of floor dampness.

ZF 6HP automatic shows gear kick, delayed engagement and torque converter issues when oil changes are skipped. Sensor no longer detects park position. Gearbox oil should be changed every 60,000 km.

Handbrake drum seizes from corrosion; countersunk drum screws corrode and are almost impossible to remove. Actuator module jams with worn drums. Fault code C1A00, brake force sensor shows extreme values. Specialist tool required to release.
