Land rover discovery 4 2015

[Billyk]

Can somebody tell me if I have a timing belt or chain on my disco. When and what is the cost of replacement. Thanks Bill

[scarry]

If its a diesel,yes,needs doing at 6 yrs or 160 000Km.

Its not cheap,difficult to do,a good Indie is the best for a price.

I can't remember what the cost was to do mine,as they also did a service and front pads and rotors.

On a 2015 TDV6/SDV6 diesel the timing and fuel pump belts are scheduled to be changed at 182,000Km or 7 years which ever is sooner.

You can check what is required at each service by putting you VIN into this site osh.landrover.com/ (https://osh.landrover.com/) and click on ‘Servicing information’ then select which service you want the information on.

Tried that came back with Vehicle not eligible for Online Service History.

I think it only works from MY13 vehicles, my MY14 VIN works.

1. Belts, including for the fuel pump at the rear of the engine. Timimg belt runs on the front of the engine, behind (under?) the black plastic covers. The visible belt at the front is the accessory belt for the alternator , aircon pump and so on.

2. I paid $1800 at my local LR dealer to have timing, fuel and accesory belts plus tensioner idlers changed at 160000km, which was 2 years ago on my MY11 D4 (built Dec '10). Parts and labour guaranteed for 12 months, they used only genuine parts.

I thought that was a pretty good deal. I rang around, and a reputable local indie quoted 2400 for the same job. If done correctly you're good for another 160,000km, if not, its new engine time (~25K at last check). I was happy to pay specialists for that job.

Just my thoughts.

Service intervals for timing belt replacement were shortend quite some time ago.

Its now recommended to do them at 100k...

The dealers have a bulletin.

Interesting, do you have any more information on the 100,000Km timing belt replacement recommendation?

The latest (Retrieved 03-09-2019 @ 11:57GMT) consumer information on the 104,000Km service does not indicate this.

[kelvo]

The latest (03-09-2019 @ 11:57GMT) consumer information for the 182,000Km service still shows renewal of timing belts (Timing & fuel pump).

First I’ve heard of that??

[Tombie]

Look for the arduous use schedule. I will see if my contact will send the bulletin.

[DieselLSE]

Look for the arduous use schedule. I will see if my contact will send the bulletin.

The "3.0 TDV6 Models to 11MY Arduous" Maintenance Check Sheet shows:
91k Renew front and rear camshaft timing belts, tensioners and tensioner bolt (Every 4 years).

So, under arduous conditions, every 91,000 kms or four years.

Under the standard use schedule it says 182,000 kms or seven years.

I'd be interested in what the bulletin says. My car has is up to 94,000 kms and nearly six years. Mostly long trips, some serious mountain work, not much towing, not much city driving. I was planning on doing the timing belts towards the end of next year (7th) along with a coolant change. Might bring both forward if that's what the bulletin recommends.

Which therefore begs the question: What is classified as "arduous useage"??
High ambient temps?
Frequent high revs?
Frequent cold ambient temps?
or what...?

All the above
Towing
Frequent stop/starts
Offroad use
Frequent Water crossings

[101RRS]

All the above
Towing
Frequent stop/starts
Offroad use
Frequent Water crossings

and normal city commuting

The list of what constitutes "arduous conditions" seems to cover everything you can do to a vehicle. Probably gives LR an out for most warranty claims when something breaks.
Sometimes I wonder why I bother......

Domestic triangle kills vehicles.
Really the only longevity for a vehicle is long easy running not towing.
Plenty of time for the engines etc to warm up, burn off condensation etc.

Same with batteries - those getting the longest lives from batteries are those driving longer distances regularly with less frequent starts.

[DieselLSE]

Domestic triangle kills vehicles.

Absolutely. And when you think about it, it's obvious that spending time in the bush (frosty mornings, river crossings, steep climbs as engine warms up, mud etc.) will be taxing on the car and clearly "arduous", yet the daily commute can be as bad or worse, particularly if you live in a hilly environment like, say, Wellington or parts of Sydney and particularly if the car never really gets to warm up.
I've implemented a service schedule that is a sort of hybrid between the normal and arduous schedule and is specific to my car and the type of work it does. My D4 is clearly over-serviced and if I was a mechanic suggesting the same routine for a customer I'd be accused of gouging!

[Rossandjulie]

completed on my 2014 discovery for just under $1,000
also just had the manifolds renewed after one cracked a long way from home...$3k (two quotes at the same price)
LR quoted $7k

Old thread, but I've been quoted $2,400 - where did you get it done for $1,000??

He’s quoting timing belts. I had them done at dealer for sub $1k a couple of years back. (Negotiated price)

He also had $3k worth of manifolds done - at a guess had the belts done same time.

Just had a 90,000 km service done and there were a couple of items they suggested doing next service - transmission service at 100,000 km and since the car will be 7 years old by then (albeit, a long way short of 182,000kms) the timing belts. I asked what the timing belts (plural) would cost - and they suggested $2400.

Will also need new tyres so it's going to be an expensive 7th year ...

Belts are much shorter term than that when used in “arduous conditions” - which is urban use, towing, offroad. [emoji41]

Hi Tombie,

Just researching belts and came across your post - did you ever get the bulletin?

cheers!

[Eric SDV6SE]

Belts (plural) includes front timing belt and rear hpfp belt.

Reasonable price is around 1600-1800. 2400 is too much.

Hmmm. One LR dealer has just quoted me $3,234.62 for the 7 year / 182,000 km service.

Go somewhere else

[Arapiles]

Go somewhere else

I will - the indi I've actually booked with quoted $2,400 and another dealer quoted $2,900 so $3.2k is not competitive.

For that money you’d want the water pump (definitely do) , oil pump and crank seal (optional) and the plastic coolant fitting (definite do) on top of motor done as well. That’s peace of mind every 7 years.
