I have just replaced the turbo/exhaust manifold assembly on our 2014 LR2. Despite the vehicle only having 38k on the odometer this turns out to be a common failure for this particular engine and also affects some of the evoque and discovery sport models - the ones that have the same engine/turbo arrangement (2.0L 4cyl petrol). (The problem first showed itself with exhaust fumes entering the cabin - especially noticeable when the car was stationary - eg in traffic)

I was initially quoted $6k to replace the unit (expensive part as it is incorporated in the exhaust manifold & the entire assembly needs to be replaced) by a 'specialist' in Denver - cost of the turbo unit was quoted at $3650 - however I subsequently managed to locate the part on Amazon for $1300 - OEM Borg Warner


I issued the new turbo to a Land Rover specialist in Co Springs (Pikes Peak Rover) who completed the work for approx $1000 - so obviously a big saving over the $6k originally quoted.

Also I believe that the turbo/exhaust manifold may be available even cheaper from eBay etc - main factor for my selection was OEM and delivery schedule to enable work to begin.

thx
Jim

 

I am working on this project right now on my own. Bought my 2013 Land Rover LR2 with the 2.0L 4 Cyl only 2 months ago from a small dealer, he only gave me a 1,000 mile or 3 month warranty. 2,000 miles later, it has 75,500 miles and the turbo went out on it. Getting code P0299 TurboCharger Underboost. I have determined the turbo needs replaced, hope I'm right!. It seems every video online shows the body being taken off but I am not doing that and I don't think it's necessary. Do you know if they removed the body on yours when it was repaired?

 

Hi Jmort617 - I think the the picture attached helps explain the issue - unfortunately the turbocharger & exhaust manifold are an integral piece so the easiest fix (by far) is to remove the complete unit and install a new one. Some of the fasteners are difficult to get to - but where there's a will..... etc. (hence why I got the shop to do it). If you wanted, you could remove the unit from the engine and repair the turbo but by the time you've removed the unit you would be as well just installing a new unit for piece of mind (the manifold may fail after you have reinstated the unit - arghhhh). If you are trying to save some money there are non-OEM units available for relatively low cost ( ) - hope this helps - good luck.

FYI - I was so p@#$%d off when my turbo failed I was ready to get rid of the car but, after I did some homework, and derived a manageable (affordable) solution, I am very positive about the vehicle again - fast, comfy, capable, sure-footed, safe, high quality - I really like it - so much so that I am actively looking for another one for my daughter as she is about to start driving....

I to have exhaust fumes entering the cabin on 2013 LR2, 77k miles. I diagnosed a leaking exhaust manifold by taking the heat shield off of it and the backside was black with exhaust carbon on the outer sides. The manifold and turbo are sold as one unit although they do come apart. I was able to find online authentic LR dealer wholesale priced parts available and purchased the manifold/turbo unit ( part # LR 107484) for $1,408. New. There is a $800 Core charge refunded when you return the old one. Full warranty. All the gaskets were about $50. It’s a four hour replacement job at my local shop. I just missed the Emissions warranty of 7 years/70,000 miles which covers the turbo.

 

Hi, I did take my time and do a ton of searching to figure out how to do it correctly and I took mine off and put on a new one. Ended up costing me about 600 and a bunch of time. I ended up removing the front passenger body mount and jacking up the body about 2 inches. Then I was able to squeeze it up through the front hood area once I found all of the bolts to remove. It was not a quick process and took a lot of patience but I got it done and the car has run great since. It’s been a year and a half and 12,000 and runs great.

By the way I’m looking to sell the vehicle, It’s a 2013 LR2 Dark Blue, 88,000 miles, with leather seats, located in Wisconsin and came from southern Illinois 2 years ago, so there’s no rust on it. Looking for 14,000. Need to buy a truck.

 

Hey Jmort,
I'm thinking about following in your footsteps and attempting replacing the turbo at home. Did you use a shop manual or any other references for the steps you took? Removing the body mount sounds like a great way to get some additional room, but I haven't found any additional information about it.

Thanks for the help!

 

would you be able to share where you purchased your part from?

 

Land Rover of Paramus, NJ. They had an online wholesale website; parts.landroverparamus.com. Another is; suburbanautoparts.com.There are others out there, try a google search for LR wholesale or discount parts. Good luck

 

Anyone know if the new replacement turbo/ exhaust manifold has been updated?? Looking at a 2013 LR2 w/ 145,000M for my daughter. This vehicle has the P0299 code, so I'm assuming the turbo is junk. Haven't looked at it yet. Just figured I'd ask before going to look at it.
I'm a heavy equipment mechanic so yanking the old one out and stuffing a new turbo/ exhaust manifold in is within my capability.
I know this an old thread, just figured I'd ask. Thank you!!
