2008 Range Rover Sport TDV8 HSE Zermatt Silver
Restricted performance

Couple of miles from home my RRS 2 loses power, smoke from the front, loud whistling metallic sound . Just happened as I accelerated fairly sharply. Presume it's either the turbo hose, or the turbo. It's only done 11k, and serviced a few weeks ago, and then went in for recall work.
Land Rover Assistance called but doesn't seem they have a technician free till tomorrow morning.

Just rechecked car....still a very noisy whistling/air intake sound, but no error messages, no warning triangle, but rev counter uneven . Last error message on the service menu just shows volumetric sensor warning from a while back.

In the last recall, an aircon hose was replaced, so maybe there's a coincidence here....did the dealer have to take off the turbo/s hose/s to effect this, I wonder!

On my RRS1 there were no error messages / lights on either occasion of turbo failure...hopefully yours isn't that serious but the first time mine blew was not long after a service. 2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders
2008 TDV8 - it was a labour of love and is much missed

Good news! Thumbs Up

I'd be asking them questions about what else they haven't put back together properly too. My experiences recently have not been good in this regard. Big Cry 2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders
2008 TDV8 - it was a labour of love and is much missed

Thanks for the comments. All fine today. Will call the service dept to inform them what happened. I don't know if LR Assist feed this back to them, but I will! Too much of a coincidence that 2 weeks ago they replace an 'aircon' hose and then a hundred miles later this hose blows off! Incidentally the guy from LRA said the turbo hose was now called a C.A.C hose with the A being air, but can't remember what the rest is! I guess it's the hose that was replaced...
Report says CAC hose disconnected at metal resonator end.
