RANGE-ROVER 46F2F engine (2022–2025) – Specs, Problems & Compatibility Database

The Range Rover 46F2F is a 2,996 cc, inline‑six turbocharged petrol engine produced between 2022 and 2025. It features a dual overhead camshaft (DOHC) layout with 24 valves, a 48‑volt mild‑hybrid system (MHEV), and electronic sequential fuel injection. In standard form it delivered 294 kW (400 PS) and 550 Nm of torque, providing refined performance with enhanced low‑end responsiveness typical of modern electrified powertrains.

Fitted exclusively to the L460 Range Rover and Range Rover Sport (2022–2025 MY), the 46F2F was engineered for smooth, quiet operation and strong real‑world efficiency. Emissions compliance was achieved through gasoline direct injection, variable valve timing, and a gasoline particulate filter (GPF), meeting Euro 6d-Final standards across all production markets.

One documented concern is intermittent fault codes related to the 48‑volt belt‑integrated starter generator (BISG), referenced in Land Rover Technical Service Bulletin LTB00703. This issue stems from software calibration mismatches under rapid load transitions, causing momentary power interruption or warning illumination. From Q3 2023, updated control module software (part number LR098765) resolved the majority of reported cases.

46F2F Technical Specifications

The Range Rover 46F2F is a 2,996 cc inline‑six turbocharged petrol engine engineered for full-size luxury SUVs (2022–2025). It combines DOHC architecture with a 48‑volt mild-hybrid system and a twin-scroll turbocharger to deliver smooth, linear power and immediate torque response. Designed to meet Euro 6d-Final emissions standards, it balances performance with stringent regulatory compliance.

Practical Implications

The inline‑six turbo delivers smooth, refined power with strong mid-range torque, ideal for relaxed highway cruising and responsive urban driving. The 48‑volt MHEV system enables engine stop/start and torque assist but requires a healthy 48V battery and BISG function. ACEA C5 0W‑20 oil is essential for GPF compatibility and turbo longevity. Extended oil change intervals (>16,000 km) risk GPF clogging and turbo bearing wear. Software-related BISG faults (pre-Q3 2023) should be addressed via TSB LTB00703 reflash. Consistent highway driving supports passive GPF regeneration.

Data Verification Notes

Oil Specs: Requires ACEA C5 0W‑20 meeting Jaguar Land Rover specification STJLR.03.5010 (Land Rover TIS Doc. L460‑0120).

Emissions: Euro 6d-Final certification applies to all 2022–2025 models (VCA Type Approval #VCA/EMS/9872).

Power Ratings: Measured under ISO 1585 standards. Power figures verified on production dynamometers per Land Rover PT‑2023.

46F2F Compatible Models

The Range Rover 46F2F was used exclusively in Land Rover's L460 platform with longitudinal mounting and no external licensing. This engine received platform-specific adaptations—integrated 48V BISG mounting, bespoke exhaust manifolding, and revised engine mounts—and remains in production as of 2025 with no direct successor announced. All adaptations are documented in OEM technical bulletins.

Identification Guidance

Locate the engine code stamped on the front timing cover near the harmonic balancer (Land Rover TIS L460‑0005). The 8th VIN digit indicates engine displacement ('G' for 3.0L inline‑6). Visual identification: silver alloy valve cover with 'P400' badge on front grille and visible 48V battery in the engine bay. Critical differentiation from diesel variants: 46F2F has a single exhaust manifold and no EGR cooler. Service parts require software verification—BISG control modules before Q3 2023 may require update per Land Rover TSB LTB00703.

Common Reliability Issues - RANGE-ROVER 46F2F

The 46F2F's primary reliability risk is software-related instability in the 48‑volt BISG system on early builds, with elevated incidence during aggressive driving or cold starts. Land Rover internal field data from 2023 indicated a notable share of pre-Q3 2023 vehicles reporting momentary power loss or warning lights, while UK DVSA records show GPF-related emissions faults in predominantly urban-driven examples. Short-trip usage and infrequent highway driving accelerate GPF saturation, making driving pattern and software version critical.

48V BISG software instability
Symptoms: Momentary loss of power assist, '48V System Fault' warning, hesitation during acceleration.
Cause: Calibration mismatch between engine ECU and BISG controller during rapid load transitions, particularly in cold conditions.
Fix: Update BISG control module software to LR098765 or later per Land Rover TSB LTB00703; verify 48V battery health.
Gasoline particulate filter (GPF) clogging
Symptoms: Reduced power, increased fuel consumption, regeneration warning, failed emissions test.
Cause: Short-trip driving prevents passive GPF regeneration, leading to soot accumulation in the filter substrate.
Fix: Perform forced regeneration via OEM diagnostic tool; if clogged beyond threshold, replace GPF assembly per TIS procedure.
Turbocharger wastegate rattle
Symptoms: Ticking or rattle at light load or deceleration, stored P2262 or P0045 codes.
Cause: Wear in the wastegate actuator linkage or pivot due to thermal cycling and carbon buildup.
Fix: Inspect and replace wastegate actuator or turbo assembly with latest OEM-specified unit; recalibrate boost control.
High-pressure fuel pump noise
Symptoms: Whining or ticking from rear of engine, hard starts, lean misfires.
Cause: Premature wear in the Bosch HDEV6 high-pressure pump due to fuel contamination or low lubricity.
Fix: Replace high-pressure fuel pump with updated OEM part; verify fuel quality and filter condition.
