Never seen this in over 4 years of ownership. Just came on about 5 miles after leaving home. Stopped at a mates 2 miles later. Started up again after 30 mins and no light came on. Ran around town a bit all ok. Came on again after a few miles on the way home, again after a short stop it was clear.

My first guess is IAP/MAF correlation. Somewhere between the MAF and inlet manifolds is a leak. Loose hose clip, split pipe, split manifold, etc.

Thanks for the replies. Other than code reading, is there a physical check I can do? Are the inlet manifolds easy to inspect without removal. I'm handy enough mechanically, but not on engines this complex. Can a leak be heard? RRS HSE Dynamic SDV6 2014

When my manifold split, the indie that I use said they do a quick check by doing a torque converter stall check - stand on the brakes and add throttle 'til it won't rev any more (about 2.5k revs). Apparently, the inlet manifold split can be heard to whistle quite noticeably. Obviously, you need a trusted helper to do this more easily. 2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders

Found this on the sister site, not sure if it's useful. https://www.disco3.co.uk/forum/30-sdtdv6-i...05583.html 2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders

In this scenario, I'd be going genuine, it's a big labour job, you don't want to be tackling again, buy cheap, buy twice definitely applies in this case. Early MY vehicles were susceptible to failures as the cover was the same design for the single turbo engines, but with the SDV6 the boost pressure is higher hence the failures, hence LR re-designed them mid 2015. |

Job done. One was cracked and the other was split on the seam. I think these were the original parts as the fomoco logo was visible. Hopefully that's it for a while.

The covers were carried over from the TDV6 single turbo engine that ran less boost, where they were adequate, LR realised mid 2015 they were too weak for the SDV6 and hence redesigned them. You should be OK from now on. |

Quick run up the M6 yesterday to West Lancs. 170 mile round trip. May be imagining it but the engine has never felt better. RRS HSE Dynamic SDV6 2014

My assumption is with multiple part numbers, there must be a revision with each successive number, and the previous ones are unacceptable by Ford / Citroen / Land Rover.
