Crossover Pipe Bursted on V8

[aztris]

Can someone post the part numbers for the front and rear pipes?

Probably won’t keep this particular LR4 much longer, but if I do take it to the shop for whatever reason, might as well have them replace the pipes while it’s there.

What’s the average cost for replacing crossover pipes? My 2012 LR4 (126k) coolant lasts about a week then the low coolant light comes on. I made the mistake when I initially noticed the leak and took it to a non Land Rover mechanic and they only changed the radiator.
I’m the second owner and have relatively good luck with this engine.

I think the consensus was that all in, parts & labor at an independent is probably $800-$1000. Others may give you different numbers. That's just from memory of other discussions here on the forum and my own experience.

In my mind, this repair is not just "good maintenance", it's "required maintenance because of a fundamental design flaw."

Troy, that’s definitely better than what I was expecting to hear. I guess it all comes down do when I take it in for diagnosis and estimate. I found a nice LR shop about 20 miles away.
Thanks for the advice.

Thanks for posting the part numbers! Just confirming, is that for V8, V6 supercharged, or both engines?

Sorry, should have clarified, those part numbers are for the V8.

If I remember correctly the parts are actually pretty cheap - it was mostly labor cost. So a poorly designed $100 part that can cause a fatal $25K engine loss. Cheap insurance to pre-emptively replace them every 75K miles in my mind.

You are not wrong. Funny how maintenance on a LR is replacing engine parts for $100s if not thousands while on my Honda it is a filter and some fluid...

To add - V6 and V8 rear crossover pipes are different and are not interchangeable.
