2020 rrs hst issues exhaust manifold bolts, tranny, timimg chain cover
While doing an oil change I noticed a rusty bolt when I released the lower pan. Would have not thought to much but 4 mos ago after a long trip the suv had a very strange noise on turning at slow speeds. Dropped the pan and one of these bolts was the culprit , at the time I thought it may have come off the road as I have a small piece out of the lower grill. I did some I decided to take to the dealer. However on further inspection I noticed oil seepage at the lower what appears to be the timing cover.
Off to Landrover with bolt in hand…..SA says not off vehicle, but as we know SA a know very little. I inform of other issues. Driver seat not locking, front cover oil seepage, and bolt. I get a call back later that day and am asked if a tranny service has been performed recently???.? I said no. I was told exhaust manifold bolts had broken and a new head will have to be ordered as they could not retrieve broken bolts from head, also new front timing change cover and gasket and new seat subframe. They felt the tranny cover wetness maybe coming from the front cover, so they want to fix it first.
Today I did the oil change and decided to take a closer inspection. Timing cover at front of engine is no way leaking back to the tranny pan. There is definitely wetness all over the tranny pan. I did not remove the rear undercarriage pan as there are too many bolts and I could see the pan from the rear anyways. ( yes the front undercarriage pan was removed)
So letting all know of these issues on my 2020 RRS HST. Supposedly they have upgraded the manifold bolts.
