A split hose causing overfuelling leading to a full DPF, perhaps. Hopefully a simple fix. 2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders

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.

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.

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.

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

Yeah was £1600 for 3 years so significantly cheaper than the LR, almost paid for itself on this one occasion to be fair... As for the CV boot I’ll probably get that done by Gloucester Land Rover, they are a good indie they I use for brake pads and what not as I won’t pay dealer prices. You are right that any garage needs to just be VAT registered so I would have used them for this as well but my dash was lit up like a Christmas tree and as the main dealer basically accepted the car the day I rang I can’t complain really. |

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. |

They've tried and it just fails so the dealer is saying it needs to be replaced. Warranty companies engineer won't be there until Tuesday to look at it so won't be any progress until then. Apparently it costs over £3k to replace so they won't authorise it without doing their own investigation. From my point of view I followed their process: Rang them when the engine management light came on, called out the AA as they instructed and only drove the car to the dealer after the AA mechanic put in writing that the car was OK to drive to the dealer. Subsequently the DPF full light came on during the journey to the dealer and the dealer has told me the DPF has failed as a result of the manifold crack. I don't see any way they can't not pay for it but does sound like it will be a battle, I've only this minute managed to get them to pay for a hire car out of goodwill... |
