Loss of power

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.

Good morning RogB,

Thank you for your post.

Please do not hesitate to PM us with your vehicle details including a contact number and email address should you require any further assistance.

Many thanks,

Does anyone know if the intermittent and temporary loss of power on the SD4 has been resolved. My 3 year old Evoque started this intermittent loss of power problem just after the warranty ran out. My local LR dealership are not aware of the issue and haven't a clue what could be the cause without fault code indications which didn't show on a diagnostic check.

Any news on resolving this issue? I had it during my warranty period but as it was intermittent the dealer was not able to identify the cause. As mentioned in previous posts, it has happened at constant speed, on changing gear, pulling out from junctions. My main concern is pulling out from a junction and having no throttle response as anothe vehicle is approaching!
It seemed OK for a while but has recently started again (now out of warranty ).

Other posts don't seem to mention if car is manual or automatic. In my case I have a manual car.
Looking forward to resolving this sooner rather than later

Hi Stacie,
I did this last year (dealer in Geneva) when my Evoque was still under guarantee but was informed that they could find nothing as it was an intermittent fault. After several months without the fault (and now out of guarantee) it has returned. Looking back at correspondence I now see that I reported the fault initially this time last year! Further investigations has now found this thread:

which is details the exact problem I have been experiencing. I have now contacted the dealer again with this information and await their reply.
Regards
Bill

Hi Stacie,

I have now had the dealer download all DTCs and, as expected, nothing was found. What advice have you now on how to diagnose and rectify this problem?

Best Regards
