2012–2014 Range Rover Sport TDV6 3.0L Diesel, V6 S/C 3.0L Petrol, V8 5.0L Petrol, V8 S/C 5.0L Service Manual (P/N WSM-16923)

This 8,432-page PDF set centers on TOPIx workshop manual WSM-16923 for the 2014 Range Rover Sport (LW/L494). Its five parts cover General Information, Chassis, Powertrain, Electrical, and Body and Paint. The engine chapters distinguish TDV6 3.0L Diesel, TDV8 4.4L Diesel, V6 S/C 3.0L Petrol, V8 S/C 5.0L Petrol, and the SDV6 3.0L Diesel Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV). Written for technicians, the workshop manual assumes familiarity with diagnostic equipment, specialist tools, and vehicle-system repair.

• Engine repair: The TDV6 procedures cover timing-belt service, camshaft and cylinder-head removal, and compression testing. The V6 S/C section adds fuel-pump camshaft timing checks and adjustment, valve-clearance work, and timing-drive service. Separate sections address the diesel and supercharged V8 engines, along with their cooling, fuel, and engine-control systems.
• Transmission and driveline: The 8HP70 AWD automatic-transmission sections include fluid-level and refill procedures, pan and filter replacement, main control valve body removal, and transmission removal and installation. The manual distinguishes conventional and HEV transmissions, single- and twin-speed transfer cases, and front and rear differentials.
• Suspension and brakes: Factory procedures cover four-wheel alignment, air-suspension depressurization and pressurization, ride-height adjustment, and active-stabilization bleeding. Brake coverage distinguishes standard and high-performance front brakes and includes system bleeding and electronic parking brake service mode.
• Hybrid service: HEV chapters address system decommissioning and bonding tests, battery-cooling-system draining, filling and bleeding, and removal of the battery, electric power inverter converter, hybrid drive assembly, and motor generator. Separate LHD and RHD rescue sheets identify high-voltage components and provide emergency-response information.
• Fault finding: Module-specific DTC tables support engine, transmission, brake, suspension, body, and HEV diagnosis. Electrical sections cover communication-network testing, quiescent-drain diagnosis, and wiring-harness repair. Reference figures include adaptive-damping and air-suspension control diagrams, an HEV engine-cooling schematic, an HEV air-conditioning schematic, and a high-pressure fuel-pump schematic.
• Body repair and restraints: The manual covers SRS diagnosis, airbag disposal, and restraint-component replacement. Body procedures extend to front side members, pillars, rocker panels, roof panels, rear structure, and body tolerance checks; separate JLR sheets address corrosion rectification and the coating of plastic, aluminum, and steel replacement parts.

Service sheets and specifications

The UK/EU maintenance check sheet JLR 18 27 10_2E applies to Range Rover Sport (LW) models from 14MY. It sets out A and B services and additional requirements for arduous use, including work involving fluids, filters, belts, brakes, and driveline units. The workshop sections supply component-specific torque data, fluid specifications, alignment figures, pressure-test information, electrical checks, and service limits where applicable.

Coverage and electrical references

The six-page LHD connector quick reference, Publication Part No. JLR 18 55 21_1E, maps component connectors, grounds, and in-line connections by vehicle area. It is a location guide: several harnesses are omitted, and detailed connector information is directed to the separate Electrical Reference Library. The workshop procedures also refer to electrical circuit diagrams; a complete circuit-diagram library is not included in this set. “V8 5.0L Petrol” appears in some transmission references, but the dedicated V8 engine chapter is labeled V8 S/C 5.0L Petrol.

Repair cautions

The TDV6 timing procedures warn that using camshaft timing pegs to hold the pulleys during tightening can damage the engine or the tools. The aluminum-panel guideline warns against sanding through a new panel’s protective coating. HEV work requires suitably qualified personnel, and the workshop instructions prohibit opening the high-voltage battery-pack and inverter casings.
