Loss of power

13/14 evoque 2.2 SD4 35k miles

Randomly seems to loose power for 2-3 seconds. Exceptionally intermittent. Can happen 2-3 times on a longish journey or may not happen for a week. It's happens at junctions when I'm trying to get going, happens at 70ish on the motorway.

The revs just drop and I loose all power (like the turbo temporarily does)

My warranty is up in a few months so I'm getting a bit concerned that it could turn into something hugely expensive.

Any ideas?

Trying to but it's really intermittent and they don't know what it is, I'm hoping someone on the forum may have faced a similar issue or may have an idea what it could be.

I was having an issue with my battery not getting a full charge after taking it in 3 different times, and them telling me nothing is wrong they replaced some alternator sensor. Now my Eco stop is working again

It happens to me too. I haven't been able to find a pattern. Sometimes there a delay when I start the car. Sometimes it disconnects from my phone and restarts itself after I've been driving for a while. Sometimes it's a few seconds and I've had it last 20 minutes also. I can say it is happening more frequently.

This has been a long ongong problem on the Freelander 2 forum (freel2.com) with the earlier SD4 2.2 engines from 2011/2012.
the car loses power particularly when pulling away and then suddenly kicks in, like something is sticking or fuel is not getting through properly.

I don't think there has ever been a conclusive fix for this, some have been fixed or improved by flashing new software to the main ECU and fuelling systems, some have been sorted by changing the throttle body or reflashing the throttle sensors.
some have tried all of the above and not seen any change.

my new 2012 SD4 Evoque is also doing it (only had it for 2 weeks) but its in for major service (which the LR dealer failed to do on purchase) on 1st September so the fuel filter will be changed then along with the usual other filters. Ill mention it to them then as its pretty scary at junctions when it happens.
