Well crap!
Water pumps are known to fail between 50k and 75k miles. That would be a good time to do it. Or anytime you have your hands deep in the engine for anything else. -

2014+ improvements / weak spots?
Yes. Ca. But I won’t know until 2022. I would imagine that it would pass. I have removed none of the emissions components. And if it doesn’t it would be no big deal to flash it back to normal. Removing the pulley is also simple. -
2014+ improvements / weak spots?
Oh and also, having spoken with the guys at superchargers online (Eaton shop) and at velocity AP (tuner) I am aware that with two pulleys the tvs1320 in the v6 is operating at the end of its useful range at redline. So it would not be a good idea to have it there pinned all day and it would be... -
2014+ improvements / weak spots?
You can read about the aj126 here. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jaguar_AJ-V8_engine But basically all the tuning for our engine is done for jags for obvious reasons. So you have to look at those forums and tuners for info on reliability and longevity. There are plenty of examples over there... -
2014+ improvements / weak spots?
Well when they design these engines across the fleet of cars they need to design for reliability at the highest tune level for sale. Then they detune for the cheaper models. So the lr4 scv6 engine was designed to handle the power of a tune and pulley all day because they offer it in the f type... -
3K oil change intervals for our LR4s?
And also here is a good explanation of the issues with direct injected engines. https://youtu.be/xrLNDgrIw3U I suspect one of the reasons that LR insists on the weird Castrol edge is the volatility of subpar oils and how much blow by can affect a direct injected engines intake ports. Of note... -
2014+ improvements / weak spots?
5.0 is 518hp I think. Bone stock. Tuned it is more impressive. -
2014+ improvements / weak spots?
Tune and two pulleys for the SC v6 blows away the v8. Mine is around 450-480hp. That’s an upside. Crossovers and water pumps are what they are. Updated crossover part design in 2016 but not sure if they made it on that model year or just became available for replacement. -
Decent trailer hitch/bike rack combo on a budget ?
ebay receiver. used kuat, yakima, thule, 1 up, whatever is available, and get the four bike model. they are all expensive when you get them for 4 bikes. but maybe you can find one on craigslist. The only reason you would want a different receiver (Rhino) would be if you needed the... -
Well crap!
I think the job is fair for a dealer. What is really killing the price is two things. 1. Dealer labor charges will be double an Indy. 2. If you source the parts yourself you can source from various dealers to get the lowest price on each part. But that might be marginal depending on how much... -
Well crap!
Yeah that. You can order those parts for cheap or you can get a rebuilt snout on eBay (with or without a performance pulley) and get your bearings changed at the same time. -
Has anyone reflashed their 3.0SC V6 aka Tune?
I was able to but chose not to as I do most things. I have a good Indy who does not charge much. It would not be hard though. Installing the snout replacement is slightly harder but not bad. -
Has anyone reflashed their 3.0SC V6 aka Tune?
Yeah for sure. Although in my case I also did a sonnax zip kit because we had the thing apart so it was the fluid or the zip kit or both that contributed to my dramatically improved shifting. Not sure but since it was not a huge cost I decided to throw some sh!t against the wall. -
3K oil change intervals for our LR4s?
Here is a good discussion on modern oil properties with a guy from api -
Has anyone reflashed their 3.0SC V6 aka Tune?
I got mine pulley and tune from velocity AP. Got the crank pulley from eBay when I rebuilt the snout. Bought the snout with the smaller pulley already installed. -
Has anyone reflashed their 3.0SC V6 aka Tune?
Mines great. With the transmission fluid and oil and Diff fluids done recently it is super smooth. Tons of power. About due for another set of brake pads. Highway cruising is much improved up steep inclines. It will hold a taller gear at 80+. No issues so far that are tune/pullies related. -

Well crap!
tangentially, LR050854, the upper radiator hose assembly, which i believe we had to mess with when dealing with the supercharger, was VERY brittle, and cracked a small connector on it. which they don't sell. you have to buy the entire birds nest for $133 (LR RENO). Really as an FYI, there are... -
