Land Rover Range Rover Sport P360

Incorrect plastic specification for the Ingenium I6 3.0L petrol oil filter housing. The housing can crack and spray engine oil onto hot components. Fire risk. Recall N908.

Symptoms: Visible oil leak, oil puddles, oil warning light, in severe cases smoke or fire

The PT306 inline-six shows timing chain wear with rattling on cold start. Although more robust than the 2.0L four-cylinder, wear and tensioner issues are documented at higher mileages.

Symptoms: Metallic rattling on cold start, rough idle, engine warning light with camshaft correlation errors

PT306 turbochargers develop bearing wear and oil blow-by particularly with insufficient oil change intervals. Allow cool-down time after spirited driving.

Symptoms: Whistling or howling noise, smoke from exhaust, power loss, elevated oil consumption

The PT306 water pump and thermostat are known wear items. Failure leads either to persistent undercooling or dangerous overheating.

Symptoms: Temperature fluctuations, coolant loss, steam from bonnet, overheating warning

The turbocharged PT306 inline-six shows elevated oil consumption at higher mileages, especially under hard use. Causes: turbocharger shaft seal wear and short-trip degradation.

Symptoms: Regular top-ups required, faint blue smoke under acceleration

On the 48V mild hybrid system, the DC-DC converter from 48V to 12V fails. Without a working converter the 12V battery is not charged — complete vehicle shutdown is possible.

Symptoms: Charging system fault warning, red battery symbol, infotainment shutdown

Air suspension compressor and air springs fail regularly. Vehicle drops after parking, compressor runs continuously. Valve block, height sensors and reservoir tank also affected. Replacing one air spring costs over 1,500 euros.

Panoramic roof drain hoses corrode at the connector fitting and break off. Rainwater runs uncontrolled into the body, collects under the driver's seat and damages the audio amplifier and ECUs. Several vehicles written off.

Door lock module defective — doors can open unintentionally while driving. Land Rover recall for over 65,000 vehicles (2014–2016). Sealed unit must be completely replaced; no partial repair possible.

Brake discs warp prematurely due to the vehicle's high mass. Brembo calipers with steel guide pins in aluminium housings corrode and seize. Average disc life approximately 50,000 km. ECU-controlled pistons require specialist diagnostics.

Diesels from 2016 with AdBlue/SCR systems show excessive consumption and sensitive NOx sensors. Overfilling damages the sensor. Vehicle immobilises itself when AdBlue tank is empty. Fault diagnosis starts at 75 euros.

Front lower wishbones (straight and curved variants) wear early due to vehicle weight. Bushings are barely possible to press in correctly — full arm replacement recommended. Wheel alignment essential after repair.

The most common cause of the SRS warning light is a broken wire in the thin cables under the front seats. Land Rover solution: overlay cable repair. Cheaper than replacing the control unit. Simple OBD diagnosis is sufficient to narrow down the fault.
