Land Rover Range Rover Sport 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 Range Rover Sport SDV6 uses a completely different engine family from the V8 M178 fitted to the Range Rover Sport 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 Range Rover Sport SDV6ENGINE OPTIONS

Every Range Rover Sport SDV6 is different. That's why we offer the right solution for your engine, your car and your budget.

01MOST POPULAR

REBUILDING YOUR RANGE ROVER SPORT SDV6 ENGINE

Most engine suppliers sell you a used engine of unknown history and hope it matches. We rebuild the engine your Range Rover Sport SDV6 already has instead — strip it down, pressure-test it, and replace every worn or damaged component (timing chain components, injector seals, EGR 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 Range Rover Sport SDV6 owners choose, and it's the one we'd recommend for most situations.

02

RECONDITIONED RANGE ROVER SPORT 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.

03

REFURBISHED RANGE ROVER SPORT 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.

04

REMANUFACTURED RANGE ROVER SPORT 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.

05

REPLACEMENT RANGE ROVER SPORT 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.

06

USED RANGE ROVER SPORT SDV6 ENGINES

In some cases, a matched low-mileage used engine is the right call — particularly if you need your car 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.

NOT SURE WHICH OPTION IS RIGHT FOR YOU?

ABOUT THE Land Rover Range Rover Sport SDV6 ENGINE

Land Rover AMG GT 53 engine and sedan

The Range Rover Sport SDV6 was offered across two generations — the original L320 (2005–2013) and the L494 (2013–2022). Both use the same 3.0-litre V6 diesel engine, the SDV6, which was also shared with the Range Rover and Discovery models of that era. The SDV6 is one of the most widely fitted diesel engines in the Land Rover range of the 2010s, and its timing chain and injector seal wear patterns are well documented by specialist workshops. The Range Rover Sport SDV6 was discontinued when the L461 generation launched in 2022, but we continue to rebuild and replace engines for every one still on the road.

We continue to rebuild and replace SDV6 engines for every Range Rover Sport SDV6 on the road.

Land Rover Range Rover Sport SDV6 ENGINE CODES

A 3.0-litre V6 diesel fitted to the Range Rover Sport SDV6 from 2005 to 2022 across two generations. Known for timing chain tensioner wear and injector seal leaks over time — see the callout above. We replace timing chain components, injector seals, EGR and gaskets as standard on every SDV6 rebuild. Check Your SDV6 Range Rover Sport → [link to quote form]

Land Rover Range Rover Sport SDV6 ENGINE COMPATIBILITY

Land Rover touring in workshop

The Range Rover Sport SDV6 uses the same SDV6 engine across both generations, so compatibility is consistent throughout the production run. However, there are subtle differences in ancillaries and ECU calibration between the L320 and L494 that mean we always confirm your exact generation and specification via your registration or VIN before quoting or supplying anything.

Any electronics or ECU considerations specific to your exact build

This is why we always start with your registration rather than a generic Range Rover Sport quote — it protects you from paying for parts that don't fit your actual car.
