🔧 Maintenance

Engine Oil Change:

Typically every 15,000 miles or 12 months, whichever comes first. Check manual for specific TD4 variant.

Fuel Filter Replacement:

Recommended every 30,000 - 40,000 miles or as per manual. Critical for diesel engines.

Air Filter Replacement:

Recommended every 15,000 - 30,000 miles or as needed based on driving conditions.

Timing Belt Replacement:

The 2.2 TD4 (DW12) engine uses a timing *chain* which is generally designed to last the life of the engine, but tensioners and guides should be inspected during major engine work. If it were a belt, it would typically be around 100,000 miles/5 years.

Engine Oil Specification:

Refer to manual for specific viscosity grade (e.g., 5W-30) and ACEA C2/C3 specifications for low SAPS oil, critical for DPF longevity.

Coolant Specification:

OAT (Organic Acid Technology) Antifreeze/Coolant, typically blue or orange (e.g., Jaguar/Land Rover STC50527 / Havoline XLC).

Transmission Fluid Automatic:

Refer to manual for specific ATF type (e.g., JWS 3309, AW-1, or specific Land Rover spec).

Brake Fluid Specification:

DOT 4

Common Reliability Concerns:

Potential issues include viscous coupling failure in the AWD system, front differential wear, turbocharger issues (especially if not maintained), EGR valve clogging, and certain electrical gremlins. DPF regeneration issues can occur with insufficient long-distance driving.
