    2017 Discovery Td6 First Edition Farallon Black

    Engine Failure?

    Owned it for 3 weeks...

    At 120kph I got "Reduced performance" for a few seconds and then "Engine System Failure/ Fault" and it cut out.

    Won't restart, simply spins.

    I did point out that the something was off when I bought it - like a rumbling wheel bearing - dealer diagnosed a dry auxiliary belt/ bad tensioner (still to be changed) but now it's dead...

    Haven't had an official diagnosis yet. Any depressing suggestions, let's hear them Smile

    Really sorry to hear that, and can feel your frustration. Hopefully there's some sort of warranty coverage on the car still?

    Be optimistic ! at least if the engine spins over it won't be the crankshaft, I would be hoping its the rear belt . Being a TDV6 its probably at the age when both belts should have been changed,

    Thanks Harry,

    A good point.

    I'm not able to read the codes as it's waiting to be diagnosed - the service history shows that the cambelt service (both belts we would assume) was done 8 months ago, but you never know.

    For now the sport is speculation Smile.

    They can a do spin over even with a broken crank but are noisy
