I have a 2017 2L diesel Discovery Sport (132kW) version. The motor began to sound very noisy and clattery at 52,000 km (32,000 miles). Serviced by Land Rover since new.
Its out of warranty so I decided to change the oil even though it wasn't due for another 2,000 km. The oil filter looked like it was covered in thick sludge. Like fine paste. (Ill try to post pics and vids)
The last oil change was at 19,000 km (we didnt realise how long ago) and their next recommended service was not for 2 years and at 54.000 km. Really!!!! 35,000 km between services???
Have a look at the pic. I cant work out how to load a vid.
Anyway, the filter is covered in thick paste of oil and its thick enough to mold it into something.
Oil level as over mid way on the level stick.
What could cause this?
I think engine is rooted!
