Split intercooler hoses (TDV6 and TDV8)
The main intercooler hose on the 2.7 TDV6, and the top hoses on the 3.6 TDV8, split and cause loss of power and restricted performance.
Range Rover · L320 · 2005–2013
Internal and external engine parts for Land Rover diesel and petrol engines, from the 300Tdi and Td5 to the TDV6, SDV6, SDV8 and Ingenium units.
The Range Rover Sport (L320) was sold in South Africa with 5 different engines. Internal parts, gaskets, timing components and sensors are specific to each, so the engine code decides the part before anything else.
| Engine | Code / family | Fuel |
|---|---|---|
| TDV6 turbodiesel | TDV6 | Diesel |
| 3.0 SDV6 turbodiesel | SDV6 | Diesel |
| 3.6 TDV8 turbodiesel | TDV8 | Diesel |
| V8 petrol | — | Petrol |
| Supercharged V8 petrol | — | Petrol |

Jaguar Land Rover South Africa confirmed in 2015 that V6 diesels built before 2012 in models including the Range Rover Sport could suffer main bearing failure.
Diesel owners buy EGR valves, intercooler hoses and turbochargers, and supercharged V8 owners look for cooling and supercharger-related parts. Replacement engines are often needed after V6 diesel bearing failures.
Replacing the whole unit? A complete unit may cost less than rebuilding one on an older Range Rover Sport (L320). See cylinder heads for sale or turbochargers for sale .
Start with the VIN on your licence disc and in the windscreen corner. The vehicle's registration papers, the service book and the engine number stamped on the block also identify it. Model names alone are not enough: a Discovery 4, for example, came with different diesel and petrol engines, and a Defender could have a 300Tdi, Td5 or Puma diesel depending on its year. Send the VIN with your quote request so the part can be matched to the engine code.
It depends on what failed. A leaking gasket, a worn timing kit or a faulty injector is a repair job. Bottom-end damage, such as a spun bearing or a broken crankshaft on a V6 diesel, often makes a complete replacement engine more practical than a rebuild, because the block, crank and turbo may all need attention. Get a proper diagnosis first, then compare the cost of a rebuild kit plus machining against a complete engine.
Share the VIN and engine number and the SparesBoyz parts team will check fitment before quoting.
