Range Rover Velar Fault Codes

About the Range Rover Velar

The Velar was first released in 2017 as the fourth model under the Range Rover brand. It got its name from a series of pre-production Range Rovers back in 1979.

Since its release, there has only been a single iteration of the model to hit the markets.

The Velar has been criticized for essentially sitting in its own class as it does not fit into any of the existing size classes when it comes to other luxury SUVs, prompting questions as to why it was made. It often draws comparisons to its larger sibling, the Range Rover Sport.

Other similar competitors include the Porsche Macan, BMW X5, and Audi Q5.

Under Jaguar Land Rover, the Velar is outfitted with the same powertrains found in many other models. This means it is prone to the same issues that these other models commonly suffer. One of the most common is P0014, which represents a timing issue with the exhaust camshaft.

Shaft issues are serious problems and unfortunately for Jaguar and Land Rover owners, these can reportedly be fairly common with their newer engines.

Unfortunately, these types of serious issues are what have resulted in Land Rover having a bad name when it comes to reliability, especially when considering the cost of repairs for this sort of problem.

Another fairly common issue for the Velar is P0106, which represents an issue with the manifold absolute pressure (MAP) sensor circuit.

This is a vital system in terms of keeping the engine running properly and optimally. Despite being a serious issue, this can typically be resolved by simply replacing a faulty MAP sensor.

Both of the codes that are most common to the Velar are fairly serious and should be addressed immediately to protect the SUV.
