Frequently Asked Questions

What is the first thing to check when the check engine light comes on?

• Check for a loose or damaged gas cap — it’s a simple cause for many 2013 Land Rover LR2 codes and is quick to inspect.
• Listen for unusual noises and note recent fuel or operating conditions to help technicians diagnose remote or intermittent faults.
• Record dashboard behavior and any performance changes (stalling, rough idle, power loss) before visiting our service center.
• Bring your LR2 to Park Place Land Rover for a proper scan; our factory-trained techs use OEM tools that preserve warranty coverage and often cost less in the long run than repeated independent fixes.

How much does a check engine light diagnostic cost for a 2013 Land Rover LR2?

• Diagnostic fees vary, but our dealership provides transparent pricing and accurate results via OEM-grade scanners tailored to the LR2’s systems.
• Because we diagnose root causes correctly the first time, customers often save money immediately and over time compared with repeated independent repairs.
• Any repairs covered under warranty must be performed at a certified dealership to preserve coverage — we handle those repairs and documentation efficiently.
• Ask our service team about bundled service specials and official parts pricing at Service Specials.

What does it mean when the check engine light comes on in a 2013 Land Rover LR2?

• The light signals a fault detected by the powertrain or emissions control systems — it can range from minor (sensor or fuel cap) to serious (catalyst, ignition, or turbocharger issues).
• On a turbocharged 2.0L inline engine like the LR2’s, common triggers include oxygen sensor failures, catalytic converter efficiency loss, or turbo-related faults.
• Park Place Land Rover uses OEM diagnostic procedures to determine severity and cost implications, helping you avoid escalating repairs resulting from delayed service.
• Certified repairs at our dealership protect warranty rights and typically provide better long-term value and reliability than repeated independent attempts.

How long does a check engine light service take?

• Initial diagnostics generally take 30–90 minutes depending on code complexity and whether intermittent faults require extended road testing.
• If a simple fix is identified (e.g., gas cap or sensor), many repairs can be completed the same day using OEM parts.
• More involved repairs that affect turbocharger, catalytic converter, or fuel systems can require parts ordering and technician time; we provide clear timelines and loaner options when available.
• Choosing Park Place Land Rover gives you accurate estimates and warranty-backed repairs performed by factory-trained technicians, often yielding faster, more reliable outcomes and long-term savings.

What is the most common reason for check engine light on a 2013 Land Rover LR2?

• Common causes include failed oxygen sensors, loose fuel caps, catalytic converter deterioration, ignition misfires, and turbocharger-related faults.
• For the LR2’s 2.0L turbo engine, oxygen sensors and emissions-related codes are frequent; ignoring them can lead to reduced fuel economy and more costly catalytic converter damage.
• Addressing codes early at our dealership prevents escalation — immediate repairs often cost less and extend the vehicle’s service life compared with delayed fixes.
• Remember: warranty-covered repairs must be completed at a certified dealership to maintain coverage and ensure OEM part compatibility.
