Known Range Rover Sport (L494) engine parts faults
Turbocharger and supercharger wear
Turbocharger failure is named in the local buying guide, and turbo replacement on the diesels is a recognised specialist repair.
Parts commonly needed for the Range Rover Sport (L494)
On the L494, owners most often ask for air suspension parts, turbochargers, water pumps and radiators, oil leak gaskets and seals, and NOx sensors and DPFs for the diesels. Give us the VIN and engine, because SDV6, SDV8 and supercharged versions use different parts. When a turbocharger fails, specialists recommend checking and cleaning the oil feed and replacing contaminated parts such as the intercooler and feed pipes, so a turbo enquiry often grows into a small parts list rather than a single item.
Replacing the whole unit? A complete unit may cost less than rebuilding one on an older Range Rover Sport (L494). See engines for sale or cylinder heads for sale .

Range Rover Sport (L494) engine parts questions
How do I know which engine my Land Rover has?
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.
Should I repair my Land Rover engine or replace it with a complete unit?
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.
