Most common problems:

Oil leaks

V8 engines, especially in older models like the 2006 Range Rover Sport, are prone to oil leaks due to worn gaskets and seals.

Timing chain issues

The timing chains on these engines can stretch or wear out, leading to potential misalignment and engine performance issues.

Cooling system failures

The supercharged V8 engine generates a lot of heat, which can lead to failures in the cooling system, such as radiator or water pump issues.

Supercharger wear

Over time, the supercharger may wear out or develop bearing issues, which can affect engine performance.

Fuel injector problems

V8 engines can experience clogged or faulty fuel injectors, leading to rough idling and poor fuel economy.

Valve cover gasket leaks

The valve cover gaskets can deteriorate, causing oil to leak onto the exhaust manifold and potentially creating a burning smell.

Spark plug and coil failures

High-performance engines like the supercharged V8 can cause premature wear of spark plugs and ignition coils.

Crankshaft pulley and harmonic balancer wear

These components can wear out over time, causing engine vibrations and potential misalignment issues.

Pcv valve issues

The Positive Crankcase Ventilation (PCV) valve can become clogged or fail, leading to increased oil consumption and potential engine sludge buildup.

Throttle body problems

The electronic throttle body can develop issues, leading to poor throttle response and potential stalling.
