Like the second generation TD4 engines TDV6 was provided with an electronically controlled turbocharger. This engine was used in such models as the third generation Land Rover Discovery and Range Rover Sport. In 2009 the TDV6 engine line was revamped. All power units became 3.0 litre twin-turbo. 7 seats is great. Lots of room, comfortable, drives very well and to be honest I love the car. The only problem are the number of lingering small faults as listed. Model year. 2006. Year of manufacture. 2006. First year of ownership. 2006. The Land Rover Discovery 4 was a very successful and very comprehensive update to a modern design classic: the Discovery 3. This vehicle was an excellent off-roader in so many ways, outside and in, so instead of chucking it out and starting again, Land Rover went through it with a fine-tooth comb and improved it in as many ways as possible. As 1. Time delay between cranking the engine and full oil pressure build up on the TDV6 motor. This can become critical, when an engine hasn’t been run for a month or more. 2. Following on from #1 increased wear of the oil pump leading to eventual possible bearing failures. 3. Discovery s novým motorem 3,0 TDV6 (180 kW) vystoupilo ze svého stínu, modelový rok 2012 ale přináší další změnu. Definitivně končí základní jednoturbový 2,7 TDV6 (140 kW) a nastupují dvě nové verze třílitru. Základní TDV6, nyní s dvojicí turbodmychadel, dosahuje 155 kW a 520 Nm a míří na méně náročné zákazníky. What are your opinions on the Ford built Duratorq (codename: Lion) V6 diesel 2.7 Liter (TDV6) found on the Discovery before being superseded by the 3.0L V6 ? Is the 2.7L a reliable engine? Or is it an engine to avoid? Ford here in the US now offers the 3.0L Lion diesel engine on F150 pickups, but a new 3.0L crate engine would be very costly. I had the D3 with the 2.7 and found it adequate for towing, however ended up having a ECU power upgrade installed, as I found it lacking in low down torque. I then bought the D4 with the 3.0 and was blown away by the difference. The low down pulling torque and power was way beyond the improved 2.7. TD6, TDV6 & V8 ECU Upgrades.
