Red and green coolant. First it’s on a Rangerover. Second, what type of coolants are they selling at petrol stations ? Third, the owner confirmed that he used the green coolant on the red already in the car. Like you confirmed with your post, it will destroy the head gasket. So imagine the cheap coolant being sold locally on a V6 supercharged of a Rangerover, you will get a volcanic eruption in the engine and that was what happened

Mixing of coolant will NOT destroy head gasket sir
His head gasket already failed, coolant was seeping through the combustion chamber that's why it went down. The fresh coolant just overwhelmed the seepage and was deposited into the combustion chamber which caused hydrolock.

Just like the one we are currently fixing, the guy said he bought it for his wife just 3 months ago and another mechanic just fixed the engine and he was driving around Alausa and the engine gave up. For this job, the sump, block, crankshaft, and one cylinder head gave up the spirit and four pistons. Getting a new engine was out of the equation and we finished the rebuilding just last night. Just last two weeks, we got an engine for the same v6 because the owner arranged the purchase. There's another v6 that we have dismantled the engine but the owner is still contemplating whether or not to rebuild or buy the engine. This brought up the question about the failure of the V6 engine . Lejeun told me that it might be that the supercharged is too much for the engine. He said that the Evoque also suffers from engine issues and never the gear. Since a lot of the experts are following, what is the solution because the owners are not smiling about the problem. Any other idea?

The most likely possibility is the clearance in the mechanical parts of that engine cannot cater for the expansion of the working parts at optimum temperature, even worse when the engine overheats. Alpina H1 engine is suffering from the same problem. Alpina gave clearances that can't cater for thermal expansion which leads to severe scouring of cylinder walls and eventually engine failure. The n62 b44 block that the engine is based on is however doing very well without the Alpina pistons

We are all coming home to resolve this problem. Rangerover ownerships are not going through any hell. If anyone has not driven a Rangerover, he is going to hell with complaints. You own an equivalent of a rolls Royce but with the ability to go anywhere. That said, we all know that you are advised not to mix different colors of coolant like it was pointed out by our Rangerover owner in the UK. Toyota coolant is sold for almost 5k à litre and it can never be recommended for any modern Rangerover. I once queried those guys that recommends Mobil 1 5w30 for Corolla and Kia Rio while Rangerover Evoque and Discovery sport recommends the same oil for these cars up till 2019. Practice, they say makes perfect. I used to change oils in over 1000 cars monthly and we always analyze the oil most times and our customers fidelity was huge. The testimony of the owner of the car is being put to the hotspot. I have fixed the car and it is no longer in my shop. We are looking for a solution to the failure of the V6 engine on a Rangerover. Any idea

Thanks for the explanation. It is an eye opener. I will analyze the point in our weekly meeting for us to learn about it.

Bros, you are a technically inclined individual, likewise Gazzuzz and I. Learn to think outside the box (no insult meant).

Use of non specified coolant didn’t damage the engine, but an existing fault did. If the gasket was bad or cylinder cracked or the car had ingested water thru the intake, it could result in such catastrophic damage.

I’m more inclined to thinking the car had ingested water thru it’s valves or the boost pressure was suddenly greater than what the engine could safely handle and quickly dissipate via its or blowoff or bypass valve (if equipped with one).
You are correct. He confessed later that it was the poor acceleration that made him stop at the petrol station to buy coolant hoping that it will relieve the car of the sluggish tendencies

Scientifically proven. A Corolla can not use the same oil with a Range Rover. There's oil for Toyota from Castrol and it's called motor oil while the one for Range Rover is called advanced full synthetic oil with guarantee of 20000 miles. Mobil now created a special oil for Toyota Honda and Nissan so that dem nor go do pass themselves. If a Corolla 2005 is using 5w30 and an Evoque 2018 is using 5w30 engine oil, is it possible to use the same extended performance oil on the Corolla? Think am well

Yes you are rite...but at what expense ..coolant is meant not only to protect the engine alone. But other parts of the engine.......

This is why some cars are overheating , thermostat becomes bad . The radiator becomes rusty because of the use of water.. This is why people replace radiator left and right. And than people end up buying double cell radiator ......

It now becomes a vicious cycle of fixing 1 thing or the other. The hoses of the car is affected and replacement needed .. You than start to " ring" or replace engine .. You end up doing all these things until the car tires you .... All you had to do was just use coolant to prevent these things .. U basically accumulate unnecessary expenses......

Medication? The fear of the incompetence of the Nigerian doctor and drugs is what is keeping me healthy. I have never been to any hospital since 2000 AD. Water in any circumstances is the key. If you guys are taking drugs to be fit, I recommend water for you all. Don't drink little, drink it all the time. If you don't have money for bottle water, drink pure water but in a cup. But please, don't ascribe what I don't have or what you have on people. It's unethical. You and Dru are behaving like the V6 supercharged that is failing all the time and please use coolant, even if it is Total coolant, use it and thank God for me. Na solution to the V6 supercharged failure naim we dey look for. Any idea? Maybe I should contact Range Rover manual. Actually I did and the major reason for it's failure was the fuel. Use of low octane fuel will destroy the engine. Even though premium fuel is recommended, the use of Aki 87 fuel on a Range Rover will eventually destroy the engine. It also forbids fuel cleaning additives. It says that if Premium fuel is not available, you can use the available fuel but know for certain that it's usage will eventually destroy the engine. Years ago, people used to avoid the supercharged engine because of the fuel requirements but now, almost all the engines are supercharged. Velar, Evoque, Discovery Sport, SVR etc all comes with the supercharged engine as standard. We know that the fuel has destroyed your Acura MDX until you found a solution which was uncommon, fuel has removed Audi, VW, Nissan, BMW,Benz, Volvo and Lexus from our roads, only the Range Rover is still gliding on our roads and I have invited all the gurus to come and find a solution.

My mdx is still running on its original engine. No overhaul like your range Rover engines. One coil, one starter and one alternator after four years. No error codes whatsoever.
As fit as a horse on Nigerian fuel. Same can't be said for your range rovers.

You have a problem Sir.

Mercedes outnumbers your range rovers in Nigeria.

They are not as poorly made as your range Rover.

Maybe you are part of the problem the range Rover owners are experiencing but you do not know it.

NUT has failed Nigeria. You can not make a statement without insults. You call me Sir and said that I am mad. When you were crying over your dead pinging engine, you called me for the local solution which unfortunately I could not give you because you will come here to rant that I destroyed your Acura. Have you seen any Acura gliding on the road the way a Range Rover glides on the road? The bottom line is that you have nothing to offer here and it would be better you read threads created by heavenly Banga where God created the V8 on the eighth day. Then you will understand what we are talking about. The V6 supercharged of the Range Rovers is light years away from your Acura MDX that cannot endure Nigerian beautiful fuel.
