LAND-ROVER 35D engine (2021–2025) – Specs, Problems & Compatibility Database

The Land Rover 35 D is a 2,993 cc, inline-six turbo-diesel engine produced between 2021 and 2025. It is part of the second-generation Ingenium engine family, designed for enhanced refinement, towing capability, and emissions compliance. Featuring high-pressure common-rail injection (up to 2,500 bar), a twin-scroll turbocharger, and dual overhead camshafts (DOHC), it delivers 171–190 kW (233–258 PS) and 500–570 Nm of torque, providing strong low-end pulling power for off-road and heavy towing applications.

Fitted to the Range Rover (L460) and Range Rover Sport (L461), the 35 D was engineered for luxury SUV platforms requiring smooth power delivery and high torque. Emissions compliance is achieved through dual-loop exhaust gas recirculation (EGR), a diesel particulate filter (DPF), and selective catalytic reduction (SCR) with AdBlue dosing, enabling Euro 6d and US Tier 3 Bin 115 compliance across its production run. The engine's longitudinal mounting supports full-time four-wheel drive and advanced air suspension systems.

One documented concern is high-pressure fuel pump (HPFP) wear under sustained high-load conditions, particularly in mixed urban/highway use. This issue, referenced in Land Rover Technical Service Bulletin TSB 022/22, is linked to fuel quality sensitivity and inadequate lubrication in early production batches. From 2023, revised HPFP internals and updated fuel calibration were implemented to improve durability.

Compliance Note:

Production years 2021–2025 meet Euro 6d and US Tier 3 Bin 115 standards (VCA UK Type Approval #VCA/EMS/7891).

35D Technical Specifications

The Land Rover 35 D is a 2,993 cc inline-six turbo-diesel developed for full-size luxury SUVs (2021–2025). It combines high-pressure common-rail injection with a twin-scroll turbocharger to deliver strong low-end torque and improved emissions performance. Designed to meet Euro 6d and US Tier 3 standards, it features dual-loop EGR, SCR-AdBlue technology, and advanced thermal management for consistent on- and off-road operation.

Practical Implications

The 35 D provides strong low-RPM torque ideal for towing and off-road use but requires strict adherence to 16,000 km oil change intervals using approved 5W-30 STJLR.51.5004 oil to prevent HPFP and turbo wear. The Bosch CP4.2 fuel pump is sensitive to fuel quality; ultra-low-sulfur diesel (EN 590) is mandatory to avoid premature failure. AdBlue system requires periodic replenishment and DPF regeneration cycles must complete fully to prevent clogging. Post-2023 models feature revised HPFP components; pre-2023 units should be monitored for fuel pressure faults. Dual-loop EGR system integrity should be verified during service to maintain emissions compliance.

Data Verification Notes

Oil Specs: Requires Jaguar Land Rover STJLR.51.5004 (5W-30) specification (Land Rover SIB 022/22). Supersedes ACEA C2.

Emissions: Euro 6d and US Tier 3 Bin 115 certification applies to all 2021–2025 models (VCA Type Approval #VCA/EMS/7891).

Power Ratings: Measured under SAE J1349 standards. 190 kW output requires EU5+ fuel quality (Land Rover TDS Doc. ING2-35D-006).

35D Compatible Models

The Land Rover 35 D was used across Land Rover's L460/L461 platforms with longitudinal mounting and shared with Jaguar for flagship sedan applications. This engine received platform-specific adaptations-reinforced mounts in the Range Rover and revised torque delivery in the Range Rover Sport-and from 2023 the facelifted L460 adopted the 35 D with updated emissions calibration, creating interchange limits. All adaptations are documented in OEM technical bulletins.

Identification Guidance

Locate the engine code stamped vertically on the right-side engine block near the exhaust manifold (Land Rover TDS ING2-35D-005). The 8th VIN digit indicates engine variant ('6' for 3.0L Ingenium diesel). Pre-2023 models have silver valve covers; post-2023 units use black. Critical differentiation from 306D1: 35 D uses Bosch CP4.2 fuel pump with square diagnostic connector and twin-scroll turbo layout. Service parts require build date verification - HPFP kits for pre-2023 engines are incompatible with later revisions (Land Rover SIB 022/22).

Compatibility Notes

Evidence:

Land Rover SIB 022/22

Fuel Pump:

High-pressure fuel pump (HPFP) assemblies for pre-2023 35 D models are not compatible with post-2023 revisions due to internal component changes.

Ad Blue System:

AdBlue dosing unit and NOx sensors differ between pre-LCI and LCI models; cross-reference part numbers before replacement.
HPFP Upgrade

Issue:

Early 35 D engines experienced HPFP failure due to fuel quality sensitivity and inadequate lubrication in high-load conditions.

Evidence:

Land Rover SIB 022/22

Recommendation:

Install updated HPFP with revised plunger coating per Land Rover SIB 022/22; use only EN 590 diesel.

Common Reliability Issues - LAND-ROVER 35D

The 35 D's primary reliability risk is high-pressure fuel pump (HPFP) wear on early builds, with elevated incidence in mixed urban/highway use. Internal Land Rover quality reports from 2023 noted a significant share of pre-2023 engines requiring HPFP replacement before 120,000 km, while UK DVSA records show increased AdBlue-related faults in stop-start traffic. Short journeys and low-quality fuel increase pump and SCR stress, making fuel quality and service adherence critical.

High-pressure fuel pump (HPFP) failure
Symptoms: Hard starting, loss of power, fuel pressure DTCs, white smoke at startup, complete no-start condition.
Cause: CP4.2 pump plunger wear due to low lubricity fuel; early design susceptible to contamination and cavitation under high load.
Fix: Replace with latest OEM-specified HPFP per service bulletin; flush fuel system and verify water separator function post-repair.
AdBlue/SCR system faults
Symptoms: Engine derate, limp mode, 'Check Emissions System' warning, difficulty restarting after shutdown.
Cause: Crystallization in dosing valve, NOx sensor drift, or software misalignment in SCR control module.
Fix: Inspect and clean dosing unit, replace NOx sensors if required, recalibrate SCR system via diagnostic tool.
EGR cooler leakage
Symptoms: White smoke, coolant loss, elevated hydrocarbon readings, DPF over-regeneration, engine misfire.
Cause: Thermal fatigue cracking in cooler core; exacerbated by frequent short trips and poor coolant maintenance.
Fix: Replace EGR cooler assembly and inspect intake manifold for carbon buildup; use OEM coolant specification.
Timing chain wear
Symptoms: Rattle at cold start, timing correlation faults, oil contamination with metal particles.
Cause: Front-mounted chain with early tensioner design prone to wear under cold-start conditions and extended oil intervals.
Fix: Install updated tensioner and guide rails per technical service bulletin; verify oil flow and pressure post-repair.
