D4 3.0 motor options.

[LandyAndy]

Hi Guys.
I need to sort out in my mind the 3.0 motors in the D4.
Am I correct,the early D4 3.0L is called a TDV6.The later ones TDV6 is the lower output,the SDV6 is the higher output.
I ask as some internet adds list vehicles that dont sound correct.
What are the power/nm of the 4 motors??? ie early 3.0,early 2.7 plus the latter 2.
Other question,the 2.7 in the early models,how can you tell when looking at pics in an add,no TD badge????
Cheers
Andrew

Hmm that's interesting never thought of that before I think on the 2.7 they just had discovery nothing else on the back as they were the base model and the 3.0 said 3.0 TDV6 and then they did an update and just changed it to TDV6 when they cut the 2.7 and they changed the 3.0 to the SDV6. And now on the new models they have TDV6 for the low tune and SDV6 for the high tune, and I think the my14 is under the door mirror there.

That's pretty confusing but think it makes sense. As for power and that think the 3.0 in low tune is 155kw and 520nm and the high tune is 183kw and 600nm I think the 2.7 was 140kw and 440nm.

I could be wrong if someone wants to correct it.

G'day Andy my understanding...

2009 and 2010

Low Powered: TDV6(2.7) 140KW 440 Nm

High Powered: TDV6(3.0) 180KW 600 Nm

2011 and 2012

Low Powered: TDV6(2.7) 140KW 440 Nm

High Powered: SDV6(3.0) 180KW 600 Nm

2013 and 2014

Low Powered: TDV6(3.0) 155KW 520 Nm

High Powered: SDV6(3.0) 183KW 600 Nm


Others more knowledgeable may correct this.....

Was chatting with my boy on monday,tells me his mates dad has a D4 with a Supercharged Diesel(3.0SD).
Told him NAH MATE,its twin turbo,tells me it goes hard,better than my modded D2 by a long shot.I wonder if dad knows his boy is showing his mates how good the D4 goes.
He told me to buy one:cool::cool::cool::cool::cool::cool::cool::cool ::cool::cool::cool::cool:

Got to listen to your boy! :D

Mate, Even thought my Chipped TD5 used to go pretty hard..... I never in my wildest dreams expected the poke the SDV6 delivers with ease....

Not sure if you have driven one yet...... but once you do, the decision gets a lot easier..;)

Your dead spot on there ther engine just sucks you in it's so smooth and creamy and just free willing to rev it just does everything so easily and loves it!! On the highway over taking just get in the torque curve and it just goes so well!!

On another note I'm thinking the SD stands for Sequential Diesel as in twin sequential turbos I could be wrong but that's what I had a guess at.

Our MY14 TDV6 is also a sequential diesel too, so not really sure what the SD stands for, but I'm sure LR have a reason for it.

Ahh yes that's true my apologies all the 3.0 engines are sequential turbo Duhhhh haha. But your quite right there is surely a reason behind it. Maybe they just carried it over with the change from 2.7 to 3.0 and just thought well the TD is always the low tune and the SD is always the higher tune. Who knows haha

This is all very complicated Andy :o

They have an engine people like me can understand:

V8 - 5.0 - 276kw, 510nm

No timing belts, turbos or other witchcraft ! :p

Not many of these around though!
I asked our Landrover saleslady about them, and she said, & I quote, "The V8 Discovery goes like the clappers"!.....Nothing like a V8 IMHO..(No substitute for cubic inches, or as they say these days, no replacement for displacement?) I realize these statements normally relate to "normal" cars ( I've had LOTS of V8s, the last being an AMG C63), so how do you like your "V8"?

I have a D3 V8, so have to make do with a mere 225Kw and a paltry 430nm or so of torques ... it's an awesome motor and (to me) it really suits the car ... typical modern multicam/multivalve V8 motor, does what you want it to do in a lazy way until you give it the boot ... then it goes like stink (well, for a 2.7T vehicle ... :eek:) ... I am a V8 whore from way back ... no plans to part with it ! :D

Sorry for the thread hijack Andy :twisted:

That sounds like past tense, did you get rid of the AMG ... how did those Conti's go?

...did you get rid of the AMG ... .


He had to - it was terrible off-road! :wasntme::D

Yes, we don't have the C63 any more, the Contis were pretty good, .....at least as good as the Yokohamas that were on it previously.

I ended up putting Kumho KU39s on my wife's Merc. I knew nothing about these tyres so was a bit dubious but they had good reviews. I'm very impressed and they are considerably cheaper than the Conti Sports.

Admittedly the C250 CDI has nowhere near the grunt of a G63 but with 510 torques, it's pretty hard on rear tyres. I found them as quiet as the Contis (if not better) and a better, more direct/stable drive. They don't appear to have any grip issues in the wet or dry either.

But the main thing, they are not wearing anywhere near as quickly as the Contis. I recently even got Mercedes to admit that some AMG owners are lucky to get 10K out of their tyres.
