Problems range rover 3 6 diesel. Range Rover III - poor people

The car PP Sport was bought in the summer of 2008 in the A.C. Musa Motors. At that time, I came to look at the Volvo XC 70 and Land Rover Freelander, but could not deny himself the pleasure of owning this golden miracle. It may be naive, but both my wife and I were simply struck by the combination of "thrones" driver's seat, a large glazing area and the legendary PP landing - high (or even higher thanks to the air suspension) and comfortable (optimal filler in terms of rigidity and perseverance, numerous adjustments with memory). At first, the operation brought several unpleasant surprises - problems with the starter and a small glitch in the air suspension were found in the car. The problem with the starter was solved by its warranty replacement, during which I installed a Webasto timer for free (that is, for nothing), and a suspension glitch - a free flashing. Looking ahead, I will say that winter operation revealed another unpleasant feature - at temperatures below -10 C and at a speed of about 80+ km (out of sympathy for the film "Back to the Future", let's say 88 km.h.), The car lost power, and the display lit up - "engine malfunction". Of course, this was treated by restarting, but when it was necessary to accelerate, lose speed, brake, restart and accelerate again 3 times per hour, then treatment was already required for human nerves. In general, by the end of the winter of 2008-2009 all warranty cases were implemented and there were no complaints about the car.
At the moment, the car has passed about 130 t.km. and he has no complaints. On the other hand, a car, if it knew how to express itself, would not be able to make serious claims to its owner.
Exploitation. On time by service book. Dealer Atlant M Yauza. I can not say that the service is very expensive. Everything is relative. For example, the first MOT (12,000) cost me about 400 US dollars, the first MOT at Rolf LLC for the Hyundai Getz from my friend cost about the same amount. When, finally, with a clear conscience, I refused service from the officials (end of warranty, 2011) and switched to LR-service, some details became clear, in particular, that RRS is serviced every 24,000 km all over the world, and not 12,000. What, the oil does not have to be packaged in liter containers with LR marking. That difficult operating conditions are not Moscow and not Central Russia, but mountains and preferably with a 3 ton boat on a trailer :)) Whatever one may say, but the set of claims to domestic service for all brands is close to the standard, so it makes no sense to dwell on this I see. A car can only be bought on the secondary market, a visit to the officials does not shine for it, so it makes sense to quote some prices: an oil change, taking into account materials, is about 7,000 rubles, replacement of pads in a circle is about 13,000 rubles. xenon lamp- about 3500 rubles. I change the oil every 24,000 (with my mileage - once a year), the pads a little more often. changed once brake discs, 1 - lamps in the headlights. Nothing else.
fuel economy. According to the passport: long runs- 11.7 liters per hundred, in the city - 12.7-13.2. Diesel. Native fuel eats well, "poisoned" only 1 time at a no name gas station in the Kirov region: the engine honestly drove to Moscow and then began to write "water in fuel" on the display and wrote steadfastly, but drove for about a month until the time came for the next MOT , although the fuel filter was replaced unscheduled :(.
Comfort in long trips. The car has traveled a lot in Europe. The farthest place from Moscow is Genoa, the coolest is Kosovo :)), where I mistakenly brought myself and my family during a trip to Montenegro. 1000 km are given easily and naturally, consumption pleases, and under the right foot there is always half the pedal travel and smooth and powerful acceleration up to about 170 km.h.
Trips around Moscow. The car is respectable, so the people around are quite polite. High clearance (ksati, a paradox, but outside the city I almost never used it) allows you to storm snowdrifts and snow ridges from harvesting equipment. Consumption in the city grows a little. The car, although large, but due to the linear design is very suitable for maneuvering in the parking lot. Of course, the camera that comes with the new RRS makes life a lot easier, but for most owners, mirrors and parking sensors are enough - which are initially present at the back in all trim levels.
subjective claims.
- Poor instrument panel.
- Non-optimal cruise control mode.
- Lack of electric tailgate.

The most difficult are those breakdowns in which you have to literally tear off the body car range Rover Sport 3.6TD. There are many videos that Range Rover Sport requires this manipulation for any repair. We hasten to dispel such a myth so as not to frighten the real and potential owners of this SUV. This is an exception to the rule rather than a given.

If we compare the Sport with the Discovery model, then in the second case, tearing off the body occurs much more often, because on these SUVs with a 3.0 engine, the diesel engine often jams, breaks crankshaft or the bushings are turning. Sport does not suffer from this problem, its engine runs like clockwork and is considered one of the most reliable in the entire Land Rover line. As LRKing service practice shows, pistons never burn out in off-road vehicles of this model, there are no problems associated with connecting rods that can knock. Most of these malfunctions appear due to oil leakage, engine overheating, or improper DIY repairs. In other words, the driver is to blame.

However, the Range Rover Sport has two characteristic breakdowns. The body is required to be torn off the frame when overhaul engine or there are problems with the crank mechanism. But now we do not take them into account, in fact, just like the human factor. Speaking specifically about system breakdowns, these include turbine malfunction and leakage exhaust gases. In the first case harmful substances pass through the seals of the collector. As for the second situation, it can happen for two reasons. Too much friction in the plain bearings, as well as high flow oils. The turbocharging disappears, and behind it the electric actuator breaks down.

Other engine malfunctions 3.6 TD

The problem may be hiding in the air pipes. Their problem lies in the fact that over time they become tanned, so we recommend that the client change them when passing the next 25-30 thousand km. Very often, when cracks occur in them, even the smallest ones, the machine enters the restriction. Of course, the driver goes to the diagnostics, where they often sin on the turbine, sentencing it unreasonably. Yes, the boost drops, but in fact, the problem lies precisely in the air pipes. To understand that they require replacement, you can even in appearance.

New pipes are flexible and bend easily, while defective ones look like plastic. The pipes of the cooling system can also fly behind them, they are less oil resistant, therefore, when driving on high speed they can simply be pulled out. As soon as you see that a lot of oil is on the air pipe, then it is quite possible that the water ones have also suffered.

Replacing the thermostat is also systemic problem. This procedure is complex and labor intensive.

As a rule, if this element malfunctions, you can see how quickly the antifreeze goes nowhere. At the same time, disposable components, such as a fuel tube, also require replacement. As a result, you are faced with a serious and costly repair of a multi-component assembly.

The USR valves may also fail, although they fail much less frequently than it happens on the same Discovery.

In order to change them, it is necessary to perform many manipulations, including the removal intake system. This work should be entrusted only to qualified craftsmen.

AND last problem- glow plugs, they do not need to be replaced by yourself, since it is quite difficult to pull them out. Therefore, if you have any problems, come to our Range Rover Sport LRKing service, carry out diagnostics, and the engine will always be in order.

It’s going somewhere, it means in the direction of the service”), you can remember at least a dozen. Indeed, in history british brand there were frankly failed models, all the advantages of which were nullified by low reliability. But there are also successful ones, such as range rover third generation, with minimal changes produced since 2002.

Range Rover - the car is somewhat unique. There are not so many SUVs in the world that have both a high level of comfort and excellent cross-country ability. The Range Rover is not ashamed to appear in high society, and at the same time, it can be driven in such "directions" where fashionable modern crossovers there is simply nothing to do. corresponds to the status and electronic stuffing car - all the benefits that the owners of premium segment models have already become accustomed to, of course, are here. Do not let us down and the dynamics. On Russian market third Range generation Rover was officially supplied with a 4.4-liter gasoline engine, although you can also find European versions with diesel 3.0 l. Both motors were developed by BMW, which, on the one hand (given the experience of the Bavarian company in engine building), is an indisputable plus, and on the other hand, it is a reason to take out more often oil dipstick as the oil level dropped pretty quickly. Since 2005, after the next change of "owner", "Jaguar" ones began to be installed on the model. power units(4.2 l, 4.4 l, diesel 3.6 l), which have proven themselves very well. Actually, high reliability demonstrate all other units: automatic transmission, transfer case, gearboxes… Diesel 3.6 l - best option for those who travel a lot and like to count money. It is noticeably more economical. gasoline engine 4.4 liters, while it is quite comparable with it in terms of traction. Traditional "diesel" problems (difficult start-up and slow heating of the cabin in winter) do not arise in the Range Rover. Like most Land Rover models, this SUV is already in basic configuration equipped with autonomous liquid heater, which will bring both antifreeze and air in the cabin to the optimum temperature.

Restyling in 2005, in addition to new engines, also brought minor cosmetic changes: new headlights, a radiator grille, and a front bumper. The list of options has also been expanded, the design has been updated rims. However, serious constructive changes Did not happen. Maybe it's for the best - there were practically no complaints from a technical point of view.

Do not be afraid of "pneuma"

All Range Rovers are equipped with air suspension, but unlike, for example, German luxury SUVs, here the working elements (cylinders) fail very rarely. If it comes to replacing them, it is not necessary to buy original ones. At a price of 25–30 thousand rubles. per piece, they are absolutely identical to the same parts from Delphi, which are almost half the price. The remaining elements of the chassis (levers, hinges) can withstand 100,000 km or more without problems. However, when buying, you should still pay attention to the full diagnostics of the suspension. The fact is that due to the good sound insulation of the car, many owners simply do not hear knocks from worn ball or silent blocks, and therefore do not suspect that it is time to contact the service. They're in complete confidence in good working order, and there is no malicious intent in this.

Even in the dirt, even at the reception

Range Rover is great both on asphalt and off-road, despite the lack of mechanical interlocks. Relatively flat bottom with good factory protection of units, large (variable) ground clearance and smart electronics- this is the guarantee of excellent cross-country ability of this, without exaggeration, SUV. Maybe it's for the best that the fight against natural obstacles is entrusted here to electronic systems: after all, the circle of customers for whom the car was originally created is used to controlling buttons.

Of course, when buying a Range Rover, you need to understand that the cost of maintaining a car of this class will not be cheap. You need to be prepared for a fairly rapid decrease in its market value(Diesel versions get cheaper much slower than gasoline ones). But if you decide to experience first hand that Land Rover SUVs break down no more often than their competitors, this model is perfect!

Expert opinion

Valentin SAVENKO,
chief mechanic of the technical center "Britcar"

Range Rover, produced from 2002 to the present day (its design has not fundamentally changed), is quite capable of refuting the conventional wisdom about the unreliability of Land Rover. There really were a lot of problems with the previous generation - we can say that the brand has seriously discredited itself. But modern Range Rovers are some of the most reliable Land Rover vehicles. I would recommend opting for a model with a 3.6 liter diesel engine: it is unpretentious, relatively economical and provides excellent dynamics. But be careful when buying. If earlier, to twist the mileage of this car, it was necessary to change the electronic control unit (and its cost nullified the economic feasibility of the operation), today the craftsmen have learned to work with odometer data without replacing the unit. So great chance to buy great shiny car with a very rich past. Air suspension can not be scared - it lasts a long time. And if the working elements require replacement, the repair will not be ruinous.

Owner's opinion

Ilya DREYER,
Land Rover Range Rover, 3.6 diesel, 2007, 105,000 km

I remember with horror my old Range Rover - a model that was produced before 2002. The business card of the evacuation service was constantly lying on my dashboard, because everything that was possible in the car broke down. Nevertheless, when the opportunity arose to purchase a next-generation car from a friend, I decided to take advantage of it. And, as it turned out, not in vain. Range Rover 2007 MY I have already exchanged the second hundred thousand kilometers, but still does not give reasons for criticism. For 2.5 years of ownership I only consumables. It is clear that the cost of maintenance and repair is higher than that of budget crossovers. I can compare the cost to the maintenance of the BMW 5 Series my wife drives - they are about the same. So the exorbitant prices for Land Rover parts and service are nothing more than speculations of critics who are not familiar with the British brand. The level of comfort is simply amazing. I travel a lot in Moscow, traveled around Finland - you don’t get tired at all behind the wheel. So the car is one hundred percent satisfied!

The first generation Range Rover debuted on the market in the early 1970s. That original style, almost unchanged, has been preserved to this day. Black pillars, flat roof, huge hood and angular shapes. The third generation of the SUV, above all, was focused on luxury, comfort and prestige.

The Range Rover 3 was introduced in 2002 and produced for the next 10 years in the British city of Solihull, located in central England. And although Land Rover was already under the wing of Ford, it still had enough components inherited from BMW: the serial system sustainability DSC, navigation and multifunctional steering wheel. In 2007, the company, together with Jaguar, passed into the hands of a new owner - Indian company Tata Motors.

The car has gone through several upgrades. In 2006, a 4.2-liter supercharged V8 and a 4.4-liter Ford aspirated joined the engine lineup. The list of equipment has also been updated, a rear-view camera has appeared, touch screen, a seven-speaker Harmon/Kardon audio system, wireless video cameras and dedicated off-road navigation.

In 2007, the interior was updated: more comfortable chairs were installed, new door handles and wooden inserts. Traditional manual parking brake has been replaced by electronic For changing BMW diesel A working volume of 2.9 liters came a 3.6-liter unit.

Relatively fast wear plastic parts interiors do not fit into the noble style of a luxurious Briton.

Range Rover underwent another major facelift in 2010. The headlights and bumpers have been updated, and a camera system has appeared that allows you to check what is happening under the car - especially useful when driving off-road. It is impossible not to mention a special screen on which you can simultaneously display information from navigation system, TV tuner or video player.

In 2011, the car was subjected to the latest modernization. Several changes have been made to the interior, and under the hood there is a new 4.4-liter turbodiesel and an 8-speed automatic transmission. In 2012, the Range Rover L322 gave way to its successor codenamed L405.

The quality of the upholstery of comfortable chairs does not match the price.

Technical features

The Range Rover 3 has caused quite a stir in the offroad world. The SUV was stripped of its frame. The car turned out to be not revolutionary light (after all, 2.7 tons own weight), but some competitors were heavier.

The luxury SUV has a system all-wheel drive suitable for real off-road. Traction in any of the modifications is simultaneously distributed between the wheels through the central Torsen differential. In addition, the system uses a gearbox and blocking rear differential(option). Thanks to air suspension can be enlarged ground clearance, which is priceless away from the asphalt. Electronics responsible for the correct distribution of torque between the wheels will also be useful there.

Range Rover 3 was equipped with three different automatic boxes gears: 5, 6 and 8-speed. The suspension of the British SUV is completely independent, and thanks to the pneumatic elements it provides excellent comfort. In crash tests Euro NCAP the car earned 4 stars.

Adaptive shock absorbers with adjustable damping (hardness) have been installed since 2010.

Engines

Petrol:

• Compressor 4.2 V8 (396 hp)
• 4.4 V8 (286-306 hp)
• 5.0 V8 (375 HP)
• Compressor 5.0 V8 (510 hp)

Diesel:

• 2.9 TD R6 (177 hp)
• 3.6 TD V8 (272 hp)
• 4.4 TD V8 (313 hp)

For economical motorists, the choice of engines is obvious - 177-horsepower diesel unit manufactured by BMW. It attracts moderately reasonable fuel consumption of 12-13 l / 100 km and decent reliability. However, there are malfunctions in the injectors, fuel pump high pressure and turbocharger. Fortunately, fixing these faults does not require prohibitive costs. However, the dynamics do not delight - 14 seconds to 100 km / h. No wonder, because the SUV weighs about 2.5 tons.

If you wish to buy diesel SUV the first years of production, the choice will be limited to the modification mentioned above with 2.9 TD. Those who can afford a younger car can choose between two V8s. Range Rover owners with a 3.6L diesel complain about an unreliable turbocharger. There are even cases of engine jamming, so it is better to opt for another option. The fact is that after 200,000 km failures are observed oil pump. The lack of lubrication finishes first one turbine, and a little later the second. A remanufactured turbocharger can be purchased for $600. However, to replace it, you will have to dismantle almost the entire front suspension. Over time, the thermostat may also leak.

The 3.6-liter turbodiesel has problems with turbochargers. The thing is small, but expensive.

Version 4.4 TD hasn't been on the market for very long, so it's hard to judge the failure rate. More often, owners have to deal with failures in control electronics. If the car is used primarily in the city, then additional problems creates a particulate filter.

Petrol 4.4-liter V8 firm BMW power 286 HP with Vanos variable valve timing system. Common ailments: high oil consumption, problems with the ventilation system crankcase gases and faulty Vanos.

It is believed that British SUVs with gasoline engines are less likely to "ask" for a visit to the mechanics. The most modest 286-horsepower unit with a displacement of 4.4 liters (by the way, also bmw engine) consumes 16-18 l / 100 km, and the top 5-liter with a compressor burns at least 25 l / 100 km. Anyway, basic Gas engine more dynamic than the base diesel - 9.2 seconds to 100 km / h. Refused in many instances fuel pump, but the manufacturer carried out a service action to eliminate this defect. True, not all SUVs have reached the service. At long runs frequent hardware failures. In the Supercharged version, problems with oxygen sensors are common.

Poor quality plastics often cause leaks in the cooling system that can cause serious engine damage.

Faults

Land Rover models have never been very reliable. Range Rover III was no exception. Many cars have suffered various failures. The most common are damage to air springs, air compressor or suspension position sensors. It can take up to a couple of thousand dollars to repair such items. Also rapid wear ball, shock absorbers and suspension arms are affected. And the failure of the front differential can lead to the immobilization of the off-road vehicle.

Rapid wear of suspension components is rather the norm for any big SUV, not Range Rover disease.

GM automatic transmission diesel versions does not withstand high torque and gives off the spirit after 100-150 thousand km. Transmission oil leaks are not uncommon.

The ZF automatic transmission (pictured) paired with the V8 is much more reliable than an automatic G.M.

Before buying, you should check the steering mechanism. Vibrations while driving, felt on the steering wheel, indicate serious malfunctions. Sometimes the cheap ones break. plastic elements in the power steering column. Land Rover offered the only solution that was convenient for them - replacing the steering column assembly - about $ 2,000. But the craftsmen are ready to solve the problem for a tenth of this amount.

The destruction of small parts often leads to the failure of the steering column adjustment system.

The brake booster pump also causes a lot of problems. The manufacturer organized a service campaign to eliminate the defect, but not all owners of the British SUV knew about it.

Great weight and powerful engines put a lot of stress on the braking system.

The air conditioner fails from time to time. After starting the engine, everything works as it should, but after about half an hour, the air flow weakens and warms up. In addition, refrigerant leaks in the air conditioning system are not uncommon.

Leaking door seals are often annoying. Water first collects in the crevices, and when the doors are opened, it is doused with a cold shower. This does not lead to any malfunctions, but it is very unpleasant to observe this in a luxury SUV.

Range Rover owners regularly complain about failing front panel displays, glitches software, which is responsible for controlling the xenon light, as well as for the jamming drive of automatically folding mirrors.

The air suspension compressor guarantees trouble for every Range Rover.

Conclusion

The cheapest Range Rover IIIs are around $8,000, while the most expensive are around $50,000. And although the prices of the oldest representatives model range seem more attractive, don't be fooled - the running costs will be huge. For the right to have luxury SUV you have to pay often and a lot.
