#Range rover timing chain replacement cost plus#
Now, I assume that’s dealer pricing so I’m sure I can save 40-60% with careful sourcing, ut that could still be $1,000 in parts alone, plus something like 18 hours labour for a dealer who’s used to doing it and has the special tools required. I’ve found the part list for the recommended method below.
The cross over pipe is a circa $100 part and DIY replacement is feasible, in fact it should be done at the same time as a water pump replacement, but many don’t. Fix it on the first sound of a rattle and all is good, ignore it and you have a 2.5ton paper weight on your hands.įrom what I can find, the timing chain and cross over pipe on top of the engine seem to be the only major deals. Asking a friend who used to work in a Land Rover parts department, he says the LR3’s were pretty much rock solid and the V8 in the LR4’s is close, but you need to keep an ear out for timing chain rattle.
Now, I know the ‘conventional’ wisdom is to shout ‘run away, run away’ in your best Monty Python accents (I will judge you being an ex pat Brit), but is that really the case? Anecdotal info I get from talking to owners ranges from ‘surprisingly reliable’ to ‘totally reliable’. The problem is, no matter how hard I try and get the head to rule the heart, I keep coming back to Land Rover LR4’s. that might be due to a worn belt, not a faulty component! If your Range Rover Evoque is one of those Land Rovers that shrieks horrendously when it runs, you likely have a worn belt, bad tensioner or both.You may or may not have seen some of my various threads asking questions and musings about new (to me) vehicles. As such, you may experience a dead battery, difficulty steering, overheating, etc. Not all vehicles have a timing belt (they typically have a timing chain instead), whereas all modern vehicles have a serpentine belt. Since the timing belt is deeper in the engine, it is often much more expensive to replace than the serpentine belt. The timing belt will often drive the water pump too. Serpentine belt vs timing belt? The timing belt connects the crankshaft to the camshaft, thus making sure the pistons and valves are operating in the correct sequence. The serpentine belt in your Range Rover Evoque connects your engine to many of the components you use every day such as your air conditioner, battery (via the alternator), power steering and cooling system - a quick look at the serpentine belt diagram outline all of the components feeding from it.

Most vehicles do not need a special serpentine belt tool, but rather a 1/2" breaker bar and a socket on the serpentine belt tensioner to relieve the tension from the belt. Depending on your engine, the serpentine belt replacement cost is between $100 and $200. Worn serpentine belt noise in a Range Rover Evoque can indicate impending problems if ignored, while typically being fairly cheap and easy to replace.

The video above shows how to check the serpentine belt on your 2020 Land Rover Range Rover Evoque - if it gives more than a half inch when pressed, is cracked, frayed or appears shiny, you should change it (or have it changed) immediately.
