So driving my MY17 SDV6 today I suddenly had the restricted performance triangle come on, the car is definitely lacking performance so something is definitely up. On pressing the accelerator I can hear a whooshing/blowing sound so I’m guessing a pipe or hose has let go? I had the air intake manifold replaced in March when I had a similar warning as that had a crack in it so wouldn’t have thought it would be that. With that I don’t remember the blowing sound and that left a tell tale oil patch on the engine cover which again isn’t present this time. It seems to be getting worst as the amber engine management light is now displayed permanently which is never a good sign, so probably not a good idea to use it now. I’m going to have a look for something like a split in the inter cooler pipe tomorrow and will get it booked in on Monday but any thoughts?

AA just come out and got the following codes:

Engine control - 7M9 / Diesel EDC 17CP11.2P227964 - Unknown fault. Error Message : . Status :P006A - Mass or volume air flow circuit. Error Message : Signal higher than expected. Error sporadic.P24A497 - Unknown fault. Error Message : .P2BAE00 - Unknown fault. Error Message : .P2BAE02 - Unknown fault. Error Message : .P2BAF00 - Unknown fault. Error Message : .P2BAF02 - Unknown fault. Error Message : . Status :P0299 - Boost-pressure control deviation. Error Message : Specified position not reached. Historical fault

Couldn’t find any obvious issue so will be a trip to the dealer. I’ve just been reading my Grange extended warranty that’s provided by RAMP and is supposedly like for like with the LR one, the more I read the less like for like it appears especially for loan cars. Also noticed that rubber hoses, plastic and metal pipes are excluded. So if this is a boost hose or something I can feel a battle brewing.

Quick update, on driving’s to the dealers the exhaust filter full light also came on so obviously oil or something has been spewed into the exhaust to add to the issue.

Good luck and keep us posted  2006 2.7 TDV6 HSE in Cairns Blue.

A split hose causing overfuelling leading to a full DPF, perhaps. Hopefully a simple fix. 2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders
2008 TDV8 - it was a labour of love and is much missed

Fingers crossed, to be fair the dealer was pretty helpful thus far. Their earliest slow was the 28th of October but they told me to come and dump it on them as a recovery as that way they won't be able to turn it away.

Hopefully it's just a hose, that said reading my extended warranty it says rubber hoses, plastic and metal pipes are excluded so if they try and avoid covering it I'll be up for the battle as the policy is supposedly like for like with the LR extended warranty.

Is this a LR main dealer or a general garage? When did you buy it? 2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders

Main dealer, I’ve taken it into Heritage in Cheltenham.

I bought it from Grange LR in swindon new in 2017 and in March they offered me a 3 year like for like warranty that’s provided by ramp. Of course I only thoroughly read the full exclusions in detail this week and it has Pipes, hoses etc as exclusions. I won’t take kindly if they try to wriggle out of it as some pipes and hoses will be hours of Labour and the diagnostic cost alone is £192. Even if they do accept liability they won’t pay for a car between now and when they accept the claim which is a bit crap as nowhere has courtesy cars at the moment.

So turns out it was the air intake manifold, I’m guessing it’s the other other bank to the one replaced in March. Clearly a significant issue for JLR but covered by warranty at least.

Also got a leak from a CV boot on the drivers side front, second one of those I’ve had go but not covered by the extended warranty and quoting £522.

The SDV6 has a known issue with the inlet manifolds splitting. At least it's covered by the warranty.

Interesting that a main dealer sold you a third party warranty not endorsed by LR.

A CV boot shouldn't cost £500 to replace. Take that to a decent indie. And then use the decent indie for all other work. The warranty should still pay out as they usually just want it done by a VAT-registered garage. 2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders

Well the saga continues... The warranty company has paid for air intake manifold but the problem has killed the DPF and it needs to be replaced as won't regen anymore. The warranty company is sending an engineer before they agree to pay so sounds like they are trying to find a way to worm their way out of covering it.

Can they do a forced regen?. I suppose it’s the air leak that’s caused the DPF failure, these things can be so fragile in their operation. 2006 2.7 TDV6 HSE in Cairns Blue.

Man thats worrying to hear but glad its sorted
