big bill for HS turbo driver!


€2,925 for HS turbo actuator with only 69,314 km! Our reader Nicole didn’t think she’d get so little attention from Land Rover about the turbo problem in her Range Rover Evoque…

Loyal to the brand, our reader Nicole from Hyères (83), turns to a Land Rover Range Rover Evoque 2.0 TD4 150 BVA9 brand new when he wants to take his place free man, in September 2015. What follows is an application that fully meets its expectations. THE Range Rover Evoque he still made noise last July. This could not be the worst moment for Nicole: when she goes to the wedding where her car is responsible for transporting the bride and groom, the light comes on, followed by the message “reduced performance”… Which she immediately finds difficult to reach. only 100 km per hour! End of mission, then, and head to the garage… Nicole’s day is definitely ruined when she finds out thatturbo actuatorout of service, inseparable from the turbo, and the quotation of 3 743 €! An amount that, in our opinion, is not worth it. Age of this Range Rover Evoque does not justify such low support. His request for help from customer service then resulted in a negative response, citing the vehicle’s age. Only her garage is working hard for a 22% discount, but Nicole still has to pay €2,925 to get her Range Rover Evoque back in working order. Compressed by his needs, he agrees to be rehabilitated but remains determined to win his case.

What defense strategy should you have?

Ongoing and regular maintenance relieves Nicole of any responsibility for this failure. Especially since this turbo malfunction is not the only case… But then how much does this mechanical problem cost? The life span of the components connected to the turbo is equal to 200,000 km. Durability certainly applies, but, considering the mileage, Land Rover still have to take responsible for a minimum of 65% of the repair bill. It is equal to €2,433
