Hello,

Few days ago our workshop has been visited by this nice car. It is Range Rover Sport Overfinch supplied with powerful 3.6 TDV8 engine. Car lost a lot of power and has oil leaks from both turbochargers. Our mission is to bring back power to this beast!

Inspection

We removed covers from the engine and bottom of the car and begin with inspection. We found that car has leaks from both turbochargers. We found also that in exhaust manifold on one of the sides has two studs broken and stuck inside holes. Because of this car makes funny squeaky / scratchy noise while accelerating.

Exhaust

Once we replaced manifold gaskets and applied new studs we could continue with works. We found that exhaust needs replacement as we found holes caused by rust. We decided that we can repair it and save a lot of customer time and money.

Because holes appears next to each other we decided to cut off part of exhaust and replaced it with stainless pipe that won’t let it happen again. To prevent rust on welds we painted it with high temperature paint.

Turbochargers Fitting

Before we fit exhaust with new pipes we need to replace turbochargers as we found they are loose oil.

Reconditioned turbocharger with 2 years warranty has been fitted. Now we must change air & oil filters and fill engine with brand new oil.

Welding Exhaust

Once we are almost done with turbocharger we can weld new pipe into exhaust.
