Hey all, I have a 2017 Discovery 5 Diesel. As you all know, it uses the ubiquitous Bosch CP4 belt driven fuel pump that is on everything from 80hp eurobangers to 6.7L 1,000 bs/ft torque monsters. I purchased my car with a CPO warranty at 40k miles and PPI and immediately driving it home I could smell diesel a little too much... I finally got an appointment and they told me the fuel pump was leaking and needed total replacement. Some PPI. I was quoted a NC ($7,300) job in Albany New York for the replacement under CPO. Sorry, but there is virtually no support on this issue on the JLR side.
As far as I can tell the only real differences with the ford is the fords have a stronger crankshaft, however the LRs are not having the oil pressure issues and the filter housing problem that I hear from the Ford guys, so maybe there are more differences.
Anyways, I am wondering if you guys are hearing about any issues with fuel pumps leaking? Search does not turn up anything and also doesn't turn up anything on the LR forums, at least in the USA. This issue has actually been a disaster for me as there was a 6 week wait to get a new pump supposedly due to supply chain logistic problems. If this is looking like a widespread issue, I will sell the truck before the warranty is up. $7k for a fuel pump is beyond insane.
I love the engine for the same reasons you guys do, I legitimately get 30 mpg highway at 72mph, it tows my boat like nothing is there, and I've never averaged less than 23.5 mpg on a tank. I do really wish we had gotten the 10 spd, and the DEF usesage seems a bit to high to me but that's not too big of a deal I suppose.
Pic for attention:
1" rod lift
20" RR Wheels with Studded Nokians
Frontrunner slimline 2 rack
All black r-dynamic facelift grilles and trim
Sliders and winch waiting.... 33s in the spring time
Any info is much appreciated. Thanks
