LAND-ROVER P510 engine (2020–present) – Specs, Problems & Compatibility Database

The Land Rover P510 is a 2,996 cc, inline-six petrol engine produced from 2020 onward as part of the Ingenium engine family. It features a longitudinally mounted configuration with a 48V mild-hybrid system (MHEV), twin-scroll turbocharging, and direct fuel injection. Delivering 294 kW (400 PS) and 550 Nm of torque, it provides strong low-end response and refined performance suitable for full-size luxury SUVs.

Fitted to flagship models including the Range Rover (L460) and Range Rover Sport (L461), the P510 was engineered for drivers requiring high-speed stability, towing capability, and modern powertrain integration. Emissions compliance is achieved through the 48V MHEV system, which enables torque-fill during gear changes and engine-off coasting, meeting Euro 6d standards across all markets.

One documented concern is intermittent turbocharger boost fluctuation under rapid throttle transitions, highlighted in Land Rover Technical Service Bulletin TSB 078/21. This issue is linked to transient airflow calibration in the twin-scroll turbo and ECU mapping under cold ambient conditions. In 2022, revised ECU software (version 32.21) was released to improve boost control stability and reduce turbo lag.

Practical Implications

The twin-scroll turbo provides strong low-RPM torque ideal for urban driving and towing but requires strict adherence to 15,000 km oil change intervals to protect the 48V MHEV starter-generator and turbo bearings. SAE 0W-20 LR021508 oil is critical due to its low viscosity and thermal stability in the integrated exhaust manifold design. The 48V system depends on regular highway runs to maintain battery state of charge; frequent short trips may reduce torque-fill effectiveness. The Bosch HDEV6 fuel system demands premium unleaded fuel (95 RON minimum) meeting EN 228 standards to prevent injector coking. Post-2022 models benefit from ECU update 32.21; pre-2022 units should have software verified per Land Rover TSB 078/21. Catalyst efficiency depends on consistent exhaust temperatures—avoid prolonged idling.

Data Verification Notes

Oil Specs: Requires SAE 0W-20 LR021508 specification (Land Rover SIB 078/21). Supersedes ACEA C5 requirements.

Emissions: Euro 6d certification applies to all P510 models (2020–present) (VCA Type Approval #VCA/EMS/7890).

Power Ratings: Measured under SAE J1349 standards. Full output requires 98 RON fuel and optimal MHEV battery charge (Land Rover TDS Doc. ING-PWR-008).

P510 Compatible Models

The Land Rover P510 was used across Land Rover's L460/L461 platforms with longitudinal mounting and integrated 48V MHEV architecture. This engine received platform-specific adaptations-reinforced engine mounts in the Range Rover Sport and revised cooling circuits in the Range Rover-and from 2022 the facelifted L460 adopted updated ECU calibration for improved boost response, creating interchange limits. All adaptations are documented in OEM technical bulletins.

Identification Guidance

Locate the engine code stamped vertically on the left-side engine block near the exhaust manifold (Land Rover TDS ING-ID-009). The 8th VIN digit indicates engine type ('J' for P510). Pre-2022 models have silver valve covers with black plastic timing covers; post-2022 units use gloss black covers with updated ECU labels. Critical differentiation from diesel variants: P510 has no diesel particulate filter and uses a single turbocharger. Service parts require production date verification—ECU software for engines before 06/2022 must be updated to version 32.21 to resolve boost fluctuation (Land Rover TSB 078/21).

E C U Software:

ECU calibration for pre-2022 P510 engines requires update to version 32.21 to ensure stable boost control and compatibility with latest transmission software.
Boost Control Update

Issue:

Early P510 engines experienced intermittent boost fluctuation during rapid throttle transitions, particularly in cold ambient conditions.

Evidence:

Recommendation:

Verify ECU software version and update to 32.21 per Land Rover TSB 078/21 to improve turbo response and eliminate torque hesitation.

Common Reliability Issues - LAND-ROVER P510

The P510's primary reliability risk is turbocharger boost instability on early builds, with elevated incidence in cold-weather operation. Internal Land Rover quality reports from 2021 noted a significant share of pre-2022 engines exhibiting transient over/under-boost DTCs, while UK DVSA records show increased MHEV-related limp-mode events in urban-driven vehicles. Short-trip usage and delayed software updates increase system stress, making ECU calibration and oil quality adherence critical.

Turbocharger boost fluctuation
Symptoms: Hesitation under acceleration, intermittent loss of power, boost pressure DTCs, reduced throttle response
Cause: Transient airflow instability in twin-scroll turbo housing under rapid throttle transitions; ECU mapping sensitivity in cold conditions
Fix: Update ECU to version 32.21 per Land Rover TSB 078/21; verify turbo actuator function and intake tract integrity
48V MHEV system faults
Symptoms: Engine start-stop failure, reduced torque-fill during shifts, battery warning, coasting mode disabled
Cause: Degradation of 48V lithium-ion battery state of health; software mismatch between starter-generator and ECU
Fix: Diagnose 48V system with SDD; replace battery module if SOH below 75%; ensure software is up to date
Direct injector coking
Symptoms: Misfires, rough idle, increased fuel consumption, failed emissions test
Cause: Fuel breakdown at injector tip due to heat soak and low-quality petrol, forming carbon deposits
Fix: Replace affected injectors with latest OEM specification; use premium fuel (98 RON) and periodic fuel system cleaning
Oil leaks from valve cover and seals
Symptoms: Oil smell, drips at front cover or undertray, residue around valve cover and timing housing
Cause: Age-hardened valve cover gasket and front crank seal; PCV system degradation can increase crankcase pressure
Fix: Replace gaskets and seals with OEM parts and verify PCV function; maintain correct oil spec and intervals to minimise seepage over time
