Land Rover Discovery SDV6 Oil Leaks & Coolant System Wear (SDV6 I6)
The SDV6 is a sophisticated 3.0-litre inline-six with an integrated starter-generator and electric auxiliary compressor — a more modern and efficient design than the older SDV6 V6. We replace timing chains, bearings, water pump and gaskets as standard on every SDV6 rebuild.
Because the Discovery SDV6 uses a completely different engine family from the V8 M178 fitted to the Discovery 63 and GT 63 S, parts and rebuild specifications don't cross over between them.
Source: Established SDV6 specialist pattern — timing chain, bearing and gasket wear across integrated-starter-generator inline-six units.

Land Rover Discovery SDV6ENGINE OPTIONS
Every Discovery SDV6 is different. That's why we offer the right solution for your engine, your car and your budget.
REBUILDING YOUR DISCOVERY SDV6 ENGINE
Most engine suppliers sell you a used engine of unknown history and hope it matches. We rebuild the engine your Discovery SDV6 already has instead — strip it down, pressure-test it, and replace every worn or damaged component (timing chain components, injector seals, EGR components, turbo components and gaskets) with updated OEM parts. You get a near-new engine with a 12-month unlimited-mileage warranty, without the compatibility risk of an unknown used unit. This is the option most Discovery SDV6 owners choose, and it's the one we'd recommend for most situations.
RECONDITIONED DISCOVERY SDV6 ENGINES
"Reconditioned" is the term many owners search for when they mean the same thing as a rebuild — a full strip-down, inspection, and replacement of worn parts rather than a straight swap. If that's what you're after, our rebuild service is exactly that.
REFURBISHED DISCOVERY SDV6 ENGINES
Similarly, "refurbished" often describes the same process from a different angle — restoring your existing engine to full working condition rather than replacing it outright. Our rebuild covers this.
REMANUFACTURED DISCOVERY SDV6 ENGINES
Some owners specifically search for a "remanufactured" engine, expecting a unit rebuilt to original specification with updated components. That's consistent with what our rebuild service delivers on the SDV6.
REPLACEMENT DISCOVERY SDV6 ENGINES
If your existing engine is beyond economical repair, we also offer full engine replacement and fitting — sourced and fitted by our team, with the same 12-month warranty.
USED DISCOVERY SDV6 ENGINES
In some cases, a matched low-mileage used engine is the right call — particularly if you need your SUV back on the road quickly and your existing engine's damage is extensive. We can source and fit these too, though most owners who ask about used engines end up choosing a rebuild once they understand the compatibility risk a used unit carries. Enter your reg below and we'll talk you through both options honestly.

ABOUT THE Land Rover Discovery SDV6 ENGINE

The Discovery SDV6 was introduced as a higher-output variant of the 3.0-litre V6 diesel that powered the D3 and D4 generations of the Discovery. Essentially a more powerful tune of the same 3.0-litre V6 shared with the TDV6, the SDV6 offered improved performance while sitting on the same engine architecture. It was fitted across both the D3 (2004–2009) and D4 (2009–2016) generations, making it one of the most common Discovery engines of that era.
We continue to rebuild and replace SDV6 engines for every Discovery SDV6 on the road.
Land Rover Discovery SDV6 ENGINE CODES
A 3.0-litre V6 diesel fitted to the Discovery D3 and D4 from 2004 to 2016. Known for timing chain tensioner wear, injector seal leaks and crankshaft bearing failure risk — see the callout above. We replace timing chain components, injector seals and gaskets as standard on every SDV6 rebuild. Check Your SDV6 Discovery → [link to quote form]
Check Your SDV6 Discovery SDV6Land Rover Discovery SDV6 ENGINE COMPATIBILITY

Because the SDV6 sits on the same 3.0-litre diesel V6 family as the TDV6 but with a higher state of tune, compatibility matters. We confirm:
Your exact engine code (SDV6 — confirmed via registration or VIN)
Your generation (D3 or D4)
Drivetrain and ancillary specification
Any electronics or ECU considerations specific to your exact build
This is why we always start with your registration rather than a generic Discovery quote — it protects you from paying for parts that don't fit your actual car.
