3.0 TDV6 (Single Turbo) - When For Aus?

[powella]

So the UK commercial gets a single turbo 3.0 TDV6, the simple question is when are we likely to get it?

When we catch up with the Euro emmission standards.

Why do you want the single turbo?

I read on the UK LR site that you can order your D4 3.0Lt in two different power outputs. I assume that one is single turbo, the other twin.
The bloke on the UK site ordered the twin turbo and it appeared that he received the single turbo.

If someone is about to buy an S then it would be good to know when the motor gets "upgraded" to the 3.0 to permit an "informed" decision.

The 2011 models in the UK are the TDV6 (155kw) and the SDV6 (180kw - as per the 2010 3.0ltr TDV6). Both have twin turbos, the difference is in the ECU programming.

Not sure where the single turbo 3.0 ltr fits in, or even if it exists?

Oops my bad I thought the S was for single... Anyways the lower spec one will at some point replace the 2.7...

SD is actually the more powerful version.

I copied the info below from the NSW RTA site after a quick search. The 2.7 was dropped in the UK in order to meet Euro 5 standards...yes???

So we might get the de-rated 3.0lt diesel when Euro 5 applies for light vehicles here. But no mention below of Euro 5 for light vehicles. So not in the near future?


Standards for fuels and vehicles

As a result of tougher vehicle emission and fuel quality standards emissions from cars and trucks will continue to decline over the next 10 years, continuing the trend of the last 30 years.

Vehicle emission standards
Australia’s vehicle emission standards are known as Australian Design Rules (ADRs).

Australia has a commitment to harmonise with the vehicle standards developed by the UN Economic Commission for Europe , or “Euros.”

Revisions of the ADRs has progressively brought Australia’s emissions standards into closer alignment with European standards:

ADR 79/00 (Emissions Control for Light Vehicles) introduced Euro 2 emission standards for new light vehicles operating on diesel from 1 January 2002, and for new light vehicles operating on petrol, Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) and Natural Gas (NG) vehicles from 1 January 2003.
ADR 80/00 (Emission Control for Heavy Vehicles) introduced Euro 3 emission standards for new heavy vehicles operating on diesel, LPG and CNG from 1 January 2002; for new heavy vehicles operating on petrol from 1 January 2003.
ADR 79/01 introduced Euro 3 emission standards for light vehicles operating on petrol, LPG or NG from 2005 and for light vehicles operating on diesel fuel from 2006.
ADR 80/01 introduced Euro 4 emissions standards for heavy vehicles operating on petrol from 2005 and for heavy vehicles operating on diesel, LPG and NG from 2006.
ADR 80/02 (Euro 4) was implemented for heavy vehicles which run on diesel, liquefied petroleum gas or natural gas from January 2007 for new model vehicles and from 29 February 2008 for existing models of vehicle.
ADR 79/02 (Euro 4) was implemented for new model light petrol, LPG and NG vehicles from July 2008 and from July 2010 for all light vehicles.
ADR 80/03 (Euro 5) will be implemented for new model heavy vehicles with a GVM greater than 3.5 tonnes, which run on diesel, liquefied petroleum gas, petrol or natural gas from 2010 and from 2011 for all heavy vehicles.
A summary of these standards can be found at: Third Edition Australian Design Rules (http://www.infrastructure.gov.au/roads/motor/design/adr_online.aspx)

If it is just ECU programming,suppose it won't be long before the after market guys re programm it again.I bet there is more to it than just that.
Doesn't the S mean sequential?

There have been rumours around for a while about the 2.7 being on run out.

Presume once the 2.7 is gone,that will be the end of the 17& 18" rims as well.

It'll be interesting to see if LR fit the 2.7 ltr brake package to the low-powered version of the 3.0 ltr, or if they stick to the larger calipers.

I think we may have the 2.7 for longer than you think. It will remain in production for the Ford Territory so imagine LR will continue to supply 2.7 D4's for the Australian market.

Hi Gordon,
Slightly off the subject. Any luck with the 18" rims?
