Range Rover Evoque Fault Codes

About the Range Rover Evoque

The Range Rover Evoque is a subcompact luxury crossover SUV that was first released in 2011. Since its debut, there have been two generations to hit the market, with the second being released in 2018.

The model entered the Land Rover lineup to replace the Freelander 2 after its discontinuation. Similar models to the very popular Evoque include the BMW X2, Porsche Macan, and Volvo XC40.

Unlike a lot of other subcompact crossovers, the Evoque manages to hold its own when it comes to off-road driving. This is thanks to a very competent generation IV Haldex four-wheel drive system.

While Land Rover has managed to gain a following of die-hard fans, they are notoriously prone to problems. Unfortunately, in the case of this model, the most common of these problems are very serious ones.

Like a number of other Land Rover offerings fitted with forced induction systems, some of the most common issues related to the turbocharger or supercharger systems. These are P0299 and P0234, which represent an underboost and overboost condition respectively.

Both of these issues are very serious, particularly when considering their ability to put the Evoque into limp mode, completely halting performance. This is done to prevent significant damage being done to the engine components.

A faulty turbocharger or supercharger can be one of the most common causes for these problems.

Another engine problem commonly reported is P0016, which means that the signals from the crankshaft and camshaft position sensors do not correlate. While this is a serious problem in any engine, the high cost of Land Rover parts means the problem becomes even more severe.

Shaft timing issues like these need to be addressed immediately, ideally by a professional technician because of how complicated the engines in new Land Rovers can be.
