Supercharged V6/V8 Coolant Leak from Water Pump and Pipes
Both the 3.0L supercharged V6 and 5.0L supercharged V8 engines develop coolant leaks from the water pump gasket, thermostat housing, and coolant crossover pipes. The leak may be slow at first, presenting as a sweet smell and low coolant warnings, but can worsen rapidly. The V8's higher operating temperatures accelerate the failure.
Replace the leaking components — water pump, thermostat housing, or crossover pipe O-rings — depending on the leak source. A complete cooling system pressure test should identify all leak points before beginning repairs. JLR TSB LTB00589 covers coolant path repairs on the AJ-series engines.
Est. Cost: $500 - $1,500 (water pump) / $400 - $1,200 (crossover pipes)Air Suspension Compressor Overheating and Failure
The air suspension compressor fails prematurely, often due to overwork from compensating for slow air leaks in the struts or air lines. The vehicle drops to its lowest setting and displays 'Suspension Fault' warnings. The compressor relay can also burn out from continuous cycling. The problem is accelerated by frequent use of the raised off-road ride heights.
Replace the air suspension compressor, relay, and air dryer. Perform a leak-down test on all four air struts and the air line connections before installing the new compressor. Leaking struts must be replaced simultaneously to prevent the new compressor from failing prematurely.
Est. Cost: $1,500 - $3,000 (compressor) / $2,000 - $3,500 per strutTouch Pro Duo Infotainment Freezing and Navigation Errors
The Touch Pro Duo dual-screen infotainment system freezes, reboots, or shows a blank screen. Navigation provides incorrect routing, and the system frequently loses GPS lock. The lower screen, which controls climate and terrain settings, is particularly prone to touch input failure. Bluetooth and USB connectivity are also unreliable.
Update to the latest infotainment software via the dealer. JLR has released multiple patches to address stability. If software updates fail, the infotainment control module or display panels may need replacement. TSB LTB00726 covers infotainment system diagnostics.
Est. Cost: $0 - $300 (software) / $1,500 - $4,000 (hardware replacement)Rear Differential Bushing Clunk and Vibration
The rear differential mounting bushings wear out, causing a clunking noise during gear changes and a vibration felt through the cabin at highway speeds. The worn bushings allow the differential to shift on its mounts, which can also lead to driveshaft angle issues and accelerated wear on the universal joints.
Replace the rear differential mounting bushings. JLR offers upgraded bushings with improved durability. The driveshaft and universal joints should be inspected during the repair. A four-wheel alignment is recommended after the repair to ensure correct geometry.
Est. Cost: $500 - $1,200Brake Vacuum Pump Failure (V6 Diesel Models)
The brake vacuum pump on diesel-equipped models fails, resulting in a hard brake pedal and significantly reduced braking assistance. A 'Brake Assist Fault' warning appears, and the brake pedal requires substantially more force to achieve normal stopping distances. This is a safety-critical failure that requires immediate attention.
Replace the brake vacuum pump assembly. The vacuum lines and check valve should also be inspected for leaks. The brake booster should be tested to ensure it was not damaged by operating without vacuum assistance. JLR recall R/2018/209 addresses brake vacuum pump failures on certain diesel models.
Est. Cost: $600 - $1,5009 NHTSA safety recalls for the 2015 Land Rover Range Rover Sport. Check your VIN at NHTSA.gov
