Wow so you can't even get it covered by an aftermarket warrany! And there is roughly a 1 in 8 chance of it happening.

I would guess that it's nowhere near 1 in 8 - people that have had issues tend to gravitate to threads about that engine.

Just on the poll thats a 12% failure rate so not, I'm sure, a true realisation. Typically people report "issues" on forum groups so you'll always get a distilled view of said issues in the real world.

Thanks yes I found that but it just seems to contain information of a few issues and how to fix them.

Having driven both a 3.0 SDV6 (for about 2,000 miles) and 4.4 SDV8 (now 7,000 miles), my experience is that the real life MPG is practically the same - higher MPG on a run in the SDV8 in fact. Whilst the engine has extra capacity over the 3L, it also runs at considerably lower revs, rarely going above 2,000rpm, and not often using the second turbo, so it balances out.

To give this thread some context - I’ve had 4 x 4.4 V8 Diesels without any issues. Brother and a friend the only two V6 diesels I have direct contact with and both have failed catastrophically. Another friend Discovery 5, 2.0 Ignium and she is on her 3rd engine. 2021 L405 Vogue SE 4.4 V8 DIESEL ~ #17 |
