Land Rover Discovery 2009 3.0 LR TD V6 engine 306DT
Engine reliability and common problems:
The 3.0-liter British diesel engine 306DT replaced its 2.7-liter predecessor, which was notorious for oil starvation issues. In many cases, this led to excessive bearing wear, ultimately resulting in crankshaft seizure and failure. Unfortunately, this problem persists in the newer 3.0-liter version as well.The Bosch fuel system with piezo injectors is generally reliable, but there have been cases where the high-pressure fuel pump required replacement. Another common issue is the cracking of valve covers and the seizing of the turbocharger’s variable geometry mechanism.
This engine uses three belts, and it is crucial to follow the replacement schedule every 130,000 km to prevent failures. Other weak points include the heat exchanger, front crankshaft seal, and the EGR valve, all of which may develop leaks or malfunctions over time.
Overall, this engine can last around 310,000 to 520,000 km if properly maintained, using the correct quality oil and fuel, and carrying out regular checks and maintenance.
The engine has hydraulic valve tappets (lifters), which provide quieter operation and do not require periodic adjustment, but are more complex in design and can cause serious engine damage in the event of failure.
