The Range Rover 11 K2D is a 2,993 cc, V6 supercharged petrol engine produced between 2006 and 2010. It features dual overhead camshafts (DOHC), variable valve timing (VVT), and an Eaton M62 roots — type supercharger, delivering 224 kW (305 PS) and 400 Nm of torque. The supercharger provides immediate throttle response and strong mid — range pull, making it well — suited for both on — road performance and off — road capability.
Fitted primarily to the L322 Range Rover (2006–201…
Production years 2006–2010 meet Euro 4 standards .
The Range Rover 11 K2D is a 2,993 cc V6 supercharged petrol engine engineered for full-size SUVs (2006–2010). It combines Eaton M62 roots-type supercharging with variable valve timing to deliver strong low-end torque and smooth high-RPM power. Designed to meet Euro 4 emissions standards, it balances performance with drivability in varied conditions.

The Range Rover 11 K2D was used across Land Rover's L322 and LR3 (Discovery 3) platforms with longitudinal mounting and no external licensing. This engine received platform-specific adaptations—reinforced subframes in the L322 and modified exhaust routing in the LR3—and from 2009 the facelifted L322 retained the same engine but with updated ECU calibration for emissions. All adaptations are documented in OEM technical bulletins.
Engine Finders UK Ltd, which operates EngineCode.uk, can pass your enquiry to engine suppliers in the UK. The service is for vehicles in the United Kingdom, with UK delivery or fitting. This is a commercially connected service, and sending an enquiry does not confirm diagnosis or compatibility.
Diagnostic reminder: If a technician has recommended replacing the engine, you can send an enquiry to engine suppliers in the UK. Confirm the diagnosis first: an engine-code record does not diagnose a fault.
Field reports and technical service bulletins highlight component wear patterns under high-load operation. Adherence to manufacturer service intervals and approved fluid specifications is critical for long-term reliability.

The most common questions about engine codes, what they mean, how to find them and how this database works
The 11 K2D offers strong performance but has known issues with supercharger clutches and air injection systems. Early engines (pre-2008) are more prone to supercharger wear. With strict adherence to oil changes (every 15,000 km) and use of 5W-30 STJLR.03.5006 oil, well-maintained examples can exceed 200,000 km reliably.
Top issues include supercharger clutch bearing wear, clogged secondary air injection valves, timing chain tensioner wear, and intake manifold runner control faults. These are documented in Land Rover SIBs 08/2009/03 and 05/2008/12, and commonly appear in high-mileage or poorly maintained vehicles.
The 11 K2D powered the Range Rover L322 (2006–2010) as the 3.0 SC and the Discovery 3/LR3 (2006–2009) as the 3.0 V6 SC. It was exclusive to these models and not used by other manufacturers. All units meet Euro 4 emissions standards.
Yes. The 11 K2D responds well to ECU remapping, typically gaining +30–50 kW on stock hardware. The Eaton M62 supercharger and forged internals support moderate increases. However, aggressive tuning without upgraded intercooling or fueling may increase knock risk and reduce longevity.
Real-world consumption is ~14.5 L/100km (city) and ~10.2 L/100km (highway), or about 20 mpg UK combined. Expect 18–22 mpg (UK) depending on driving style and vehicle load. Premium 95 RON fuel is required for optimal performance and knock prevention.
Yes. The 11 K2D is an interference engine. If the timing chain fails or jumps, pistons can collide with open valves, causing severe internal damage. Regular inspection of chain tensioners and guides is essential to prevent catastrophic failure.
Land Rover specifies SAE 5W-30 synthetic oil meeting STJLR.03.5006. This formulation ensures proper lubrication of the supercharger and timing components. Oil should be changed every 15,000 km or annually, whichever comes first.
