RANGE-ROVER 99-H engine (2023–2025) – Specs, Problems & Compatibility Database

The Range Rover 99 H Petrol is a 2,996 cc, inline‑six turbocharged petrol engine produced between 2023 and 2025. It features direct fuel injection, a twin-scroll turbocharger, and a 48V mild-hybrid electric vehicle (MHEV) system with DOHC architecture. In standard form it delivers 221 kW (300 PS) and 400 Nm of torque, providing accessible performance with strong low‑rpm responsiveness for urban and highway use.

Fitted exclusively to the L460 Range Rover (standard and long-wheelbase variants), the 99 H Petrol was engineered as an entry-level powertrain balancing efficiency, refinement, and drivability. Emissions compliance is achieved through gasoline particulate filtration (GPF) and precise lambda control, meeting Euro 6d standards across all markets.

One documented concern is premature wear of the MHEV belt-driven starter generator (BiSG) pulley bearings under frequent stop-start cycles, highlighted in Jaguar Land Rover Service Bulletin SIB‑MHEV‑2024‑01. This can lead to belt slippage, 48V system faults, and reduced idle-stop functionality. JLR recommends inspection of the BiSG pulley during major services and adherence to specified belt tension protocols.

Compliance Note:

All production years 2023–2025 meet Euro 6d emissions standards (VCA UK Type Approval #VCA/EMS/5432).

99-H Technical Specifications

The Range Rover 99 H Petrol is a 2,996 cc inline‑six turbocharged engine engineered for full‑size luxury SUVs (2023–2025). It combines a 48V mild-hybrid system with twin-scroll turbocharging to deliver smooth, responsive power and reduced turbo lag. Designed to meet Euro 6d standards, it balances performance with regulatory compliance and fuel efficiency.

Practical Implications

The twin-scroll turbo and 48V MHEV system provide accessible torque and refined idle-stop behavior but require strict adherence to JLR-specified 0W-20 oil (STJLR.03.5006) to protect turbo bearings and chain tensioners. Direct injection increases susceptibility to intake valve carbon buildup; use of Top Tier or EN 228-compliant fuel is recommended. The GPF system mandates occasional highway driving to enable passive regeneration. BiSG pulley wear is elevated in high-cycle urban use; inspect during major services per JLR SIB‑MHEV‑2024‑01.

Data Verification Notes

Oil Specs: Requires JLR STJLR.03.5006 (0W-20) specification (JLR SIB‑OIL‑2023). Not interchangeable with ACEA C5 without verification.

Emissions: Euro 6d certification applies to all 2023–2025 models (VCA Type Approval #VCA/EMS/5432). Verified via RDE testing.

Power Ratings: Measured under ISO 1585 standards. Power output assumes 95 RON fuel (JLR TIS Doc. TIS‑L6‑2023).

99-H Compatible Models

The Range Rover 99 H Petrol was used across Land Rover's L460 platform with longitudinal mounting and no external licensing. This engine received platform-specific adaptations—reinforced subframes and active engine mounts—and from 2024 the MY25 update introduced revised BiSG pulley designs, creating minor interchange limits for MHEV components. All adaptations are documented in OEM technical bulletins.

Identification Guidance

Locate the engine code stamped on the left-side cam cover near the MHEV belt drive (JLR TIS ENG‑ID‑2023). The 7th VIN digit for L460 petrol models is 'H' (indicating 3.0L inline‑6). Visual ID: silver cam cover with 'P300' badge on front grille. Differentiate from P400/P450 by output rating and ECU calibration. ECU part number must match production date—early 2023 units use Bosch MG1CS001; post-2023.5 use MG1CS002 with updated BiSG logic (JLR SIB‑ECU‑2024‑01).

Bi S G Pulley:

BiSG pulley and belt tensioner differ between pre-2024 and post-2024 builds; not interchangeable due to bearing material revisions.

E C U Calibration:

ECU must be matched to engine production date to ensure correct MHEV torque blending and idle-stop logic.

Common Reliability Issues - RANGE-ROVER 99-H

The 99 H Petrol's primary reliability risk is BiSG pulley bearing wear in vehicles subjected to frequent stop-start urban driving. JLR internal quality reports from Q1 2024 indicate ~7% of early units showed belt slippage or 48V system faults after 35,000 km under high-cycle use, while UK DVSA records show no significant emissions-related MOT failures due to robust GPF design. Adherence to MHEV service protocols and oil specifications is critical to mitigate wear.

BiSG pulley bearing wear
Symptoms: Squeal or chirp on startup, 48V system warning, reduced idle-stop functionality, belt glazing.
Cause: Early-design pulley bearings susceptible to fatigue under frequent stop-start cycles and thermal stress.
Fix: Replace BiSG pulley with updated version (Part No. LR112233) per JLR SIB‑MHEV‑2024‑01; verify belt tension and alignment.
Intake valve carbon buildup
Symptoms: Rough idle, misfire codes (P030X), hesitation on light throttle.
Cause: Direct injection without port fuel wash leads to oil/fuel deposit accumulation on intake valves over time.
Fix: Perform walnut-shell intake cleaning per JLR SIB‑ENG‑2024‑03; use EN 228-compliant fuel and avoid extended short-trip cycles.
GPF saturation in urban driving
Symptoms: Reduced power, 'Exhaust System Service Required' message, increased fuel consumption.
Cause: Insufficient exhaust temperatures in stop-start city driving prevent passive GPF regeneration.
Fix: Initiate forced regeneration via JLR diagnostics; advise customer to drive at >60 km/h for 20+ minutes weekly.
Minor oil consumption
Symptoms: Low oil level warning between services, blue tint on exhaust under load.
Cause: Piston ring land design in early production allows slight oil migration under high-load conditions.
Fix: Monitor consumption; if >0.5 L/1,000 km, inspect rings per JLR Workshop Manual Section 303-01.
