samusc 0 Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 Hello! This is my first time posting here and would appreciate your feedback. I own a 2014 Evoque with CPO warranty. Last monday (seven days ago), i realtzed that the car was feeling very sluggish and would not accelerate as it should be. So i took it to the dealership and they told me that they would need to diagnose the vehicle. I asked them for a loaner vehicle for the time being and they informed me that they were out of any loaner vehicles and specifically because i had a walk in appointment it would be difficult for them to give me one. The advisor told me that he would let me know in a day or two as to what the issue is and we could proceed from there. I guess i was too nice and agreed to everything he had to say. He did not get back to me in 2 days and i tried to call the dealer ship but wasnt able to get through the right person and they told me they would get back but that did not happen. Cutting the chase, finally after 6 days the advisor got back to me and said that it seems like a turbo problem. He mentioned that he is trying to talk to the dealership to understand whether this is covered by CPO warranty or not. If it wasnt covered then it would cost me approximiately $6000 which is crazy expensive! Can you please advice me as to what i should do at this point in time? Thanks for your assistance in advance.

FridgeFreezer 2,165 Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 Welcome! Where in the world are you? I'd be asking for a more descriptive explanation than "turbo problem" as that covers everything from a hose clip coming loose to explosive destruction, and will alter how reasonable the $6000 sounds...

Scotts90 192 Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 14MY? Do Landrover not offer a 3yr warranty worldwide? Even if it's just expired I'd be hoping for some goodwill from LR/dealer if the car has been serviced and maintained to schedule. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Caggy04 0 Posted November 7, 2017 Share Posted November 7, 2017 Hi there, Would you be able to let us know the final outcome of the turbo? I have an Evoque, and the engine light is on & it is not driving well, all power is lost. Mine is over the warranty, however I am wondering if anyone was able to get the turbo replaced based off of the Emissions warranty. Which is 6 years and unlimited miles. Thanks!

Bernie L 0 Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 They just told me my 2014 needs a new Turbo. One shop said there may be some pending litigation. Checking with dealer, but $5000 plus for repair is crazy. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rusty_wingnut 28 Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 (edited) a lot of turbo problems are expensive via dealerships. simply because land rover don't replace the turbo actuator, but rather replace the whole unit!! which is crazy considering the electronic box is only around £100! Regardless of dealership issues a lot of issues are solved by simply replacing the turbo actuator. as long as the vanes move freely and you have intact intercooler pipes, that hold pressure.
