RANGE ROVER SPORT TIMING CHAIN PROBLEMS PROBLEMS IN EDMONTON
The 2010 to 2014 Range Rover Sport with the 5.0L V8 engine (naturally aspirated and supercharged) has a well-documented timing chain guide failure that has been the subject of a class action lawsuit. These vehicles — many still on Edmonton roads — face serious risk of catastrophic engine failure when the plastic chain guides fail. Auto Imports specializes in this repair.
Auto Imports diagnoses and repairs Range Rover Sport Timing Chain Problems problems in Edmonton, including the specific symptoms and failure patterns associated with this vehicle.
If your vehicle has a warning light, leak, abnormal noise, rough running, overheating, reduced power or another concern, we recommend diagnosing the actual fault before replacing parts.
COMMON RANGE ROVER SPORT TIMING CHAIN PROBLEMS ISSUES
Common concerns for the Range Rover Sport Timing Chain Problems include:
- Land Rover Service
- Timing chain develops severe slack — engine runs rough or cannot start
- Plastic guide fragments contaminate the engine oil
- Fragments can reach the oil pump, causing oil starvation and total engine failure
- Chain can jump timing — pistons contact valves — engine destroyed
- Repair cost if caught early: $4,000-$8,000. Engine replacement:
- Rattling from engine on cold start — particularly from the front of the engine
- Check engine light — timing codes, cam sensor codes
- Rough idle or hesitation, especially when cold
- Loss of power — engine feels less responsive than before
These problems can become more common as mileage increases, but mileage alone does not prove a component has failed.
