Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a check engine light diagnostic cost for a 2018 Land Rover Range Rover?

• Typical diagnostics at Land Rover Sudbury start with a professional scan and inspection; many diagnostics are competitively priced and often waived if you proceed with recommended repairs.
• Minor issues like a loose fuel cap or simple sensor replacement are low-cost; more complex repairs (sensors, ignition coils, catalytic work) vary by parts and labor.
• Our dealership often costs less than independent shops while delivering factory-trained technicians, OEM parts, and documented service histories—delivering immediate savings and protecting long-term resale value.
• If the repair is covered under warranty, it must be completed at a certified dealership to preserve coverage and ensure proper parts and calibration.

What does it mean when the check engine light comes on in a 2018 Land Rover Range Rover?

• A check engine light can indicate anything from a loose gas cap to a serious engine misfire or emissions-system failure; it flags a stored diagnostic trouble code (DTC) in the vehicle’s computer.
• Common triggers include EVAP leaks, oxygen sensor faults, catalytic converter inefficiency, ignition misfires, or sensor circuit issues related to the 5.0L supercharged V8.
• Severity varies—some codes are informational, others require immediate attention to avoid drivetrain damage or costly downstream repairs.
• Bring your vehicle to Land Rover Sudbury for a precise scan, assessment, and transparent repair estimate using OEM parts and Land Rover-trained technicians.

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

• Start with simple checks: ensure the gas cap is tightened properly—an EVAP leak from a loose cap is a frequent cause and an easy fix.
• Note drivability symptoms: rough idle, stalling, reduced power, or unusual noises—these details help technicians prioritize diagnosis.
• Do not repeatedly reset the light—erasing codes can mask issues and complicate warranty claims; repairs covered under warranty must be completed at a certified dealership.
• Schedule a diagnostic with Land Rover Sudbury via our Service Scheduler so factory-trained technicians can identify the root cause and recommend efficient, cost-saving repairs.

How long does a check engine light service take?

• A diagnostic scan and initial inspection typically take 30–90 minutes; the exact time depends on code complexity and road-test needs.
• Minor repairs (sensor replacement, tightening cap) can often be completed the same day; more involved work (catalytic or engine repairs) may require parts ordering and additional hours or days.
• At Land Rover Sudbury we prioritize efficient turnaround—factory-trained technicians and genuine parts streamline repairs, offering both immediate and long-term savings versus repeated visits to independent shops.
