Range Rover C-25-A2 Compatible Models

The Range Rover C 25 A2 Petrol was used across Land Rover's L460 platform with longitudinal mounting and no external licensing. This engine received platform-specific adaptations—reinforced engine mounts in the Range Rover and revised cooling ducts in the Range Rover Sport—and from 2024 the MY24 update introduced minor ECU calibrations for improved BSG thermal management, creating minor software interchange limits. All adaptations are documented in OEM technical bulletins.

Common Reliability Issues - RANGE-ROVER C-25-A2 Compatible Models

The C 25 A2 Petrol's primary reliability risk is 48V BSG pulley bearing wear in hot climates, with elevated incidence in vehicles operated above 30°C ambient. Land Rover internal field data (2024) indicates ~7% of early-build engines required BSG replacement before 40,000 km in Middle East and Southern Europe markets, while UK DVSA data shows no significant emissions-related MOT failures due to robust GPF management. Frequent stop-start cycles under high thermal load accelerate bearing fatigue, making periodic inspection critical.

48V BSG pulley bearing wear
Symptoms: Squealing or chirping noise from front accessory drive on startup or under load, illuminated 48V system warning.
Cause: Thermal degradation of pulley bearing lubricant under repeated stop-start cycles in high ambient temperatures.
Fix: Replace BSG pulley assembly with revised OEM-specified unit (LR118765) per Land Rover SIB LTB00503; verify belt tension and alignment.
48V MHEV system faults
Symptoms: ‘Stop-start unavailable’ warning, reduced torque-fill, illuminated 48V battery symbol.
Cause: Degradation of 48V lithium-ion battery or BSG motor wear under high thermal stress.
Fix: Diagnose via Land Rover-approved tool; replace 48V battery or BSG assembly with latest OEM-specified unit per TIS-LR-2595.
Intake valve carbon buildup
Symptoms: Cold-start hesitation, slight misfire on light throttle, reduced fuel economy.
Cause: Direct injection only—no fuel wash over intake valves—allows oil vapour and blow-by deposits to accumulate over time.
Fix: Perform walnut-shell blasting of intake ports per Land Rover procedure; verify crankcase ventilation (CCV) function and replace if saturated.
Turbocharger wastegate sticking
Symptoms: Boost lag, over-boost DTCs, occasional limp mode during aggressive acceleration.
Cause: Carbon accumulation in wastegate actuator linkage due to short-trip driving and thermal cycling.
Fix: Clean or replace wastegate actuator; recalibrate via Land Rover diagnostic system per TIS-LR-2581.

RANGE-ROVER C-25-A2 FAQ Common Questions Answered

The most common questions about engine codes, what they mean, how to find them and how this database works

The C 25 A2 Petrol is generally robust, with a non-serviceable timing chain and solid MHEV integration. Early concerns focus on BSG pulley wear in hot climates. With proper fuel (95 RON+), regular oil changes (0W-20 STJLR.03.5022), and periodic BSG inspection in high-heat regions, it should offer strong long-term reliability.

Top issues include 48V BSG pulley bearing wear in hot climates, 48V battery degradation, intake carbon buildup, and turbo wastegate sticking. These are documented in Land Rover SIB LTB00503 and are manageable with proactive maintenance.

It powers the 2023–2025 Range Rover (L460) and Range Rover Sport (L461) in P300 trim. It is not used in Defender, Discovery, or older-generation vehicles. All are Euro 6d compliant and feature 48V mild-hybrid technology.

Yes—ECU remaps typically yield +20–35 kW safely on stock hardware due to conservative factory tuning. The turbo and internals support moderate increases, but 48V system thermal limits restrict aggressive tuning. Always use high-octane fuel and monitor oil condition closely.

Official WLTP combined is ~9.2 L/100km (30.7 mpg UK). Real-world mixed driving averages 10–12 L/100km (24–28 mpg UK). Highway cruising can achieve ~7.8 L/100km (36 mpg UK), while city driving may exceed 12.5 L/100km.

No. The C 25 A2 Petrol uses a non-interference valvetrain design. If the timing chain were to fail (extremely rare), piston-to-valve contact would not occur, reducing catastrophic failure risk.

Land Rover specifies STJLR.03.5022 0W-20 synthetic oil—low-SAPS, ACEA C5 compliant. This protects the turbo, MHEV system, and emissions hardware. Change every 16,000 km or 12 months, whichever comes first.
