P0088 on Land Rover by model: symptoms, diagnosis and fix
The Ingenium 2.0L turbo engine used in the second-generation Evoque experiences high-pressure fuel pump failures that cause hard starting, rough running, and loss of power. The pump's cam follower wears prematurely, reducing fuel rail pressure below the threshold needed for direct injection. JLR has updated the pump design but early vehicles may still have the original part.
Common Symptoms
- Hard starting especially when warm
- Rough idle and misfires
- Loss of power under acceleration
- Check engine light with fuel rail pressure codes
- Engine stalling at low speeds
How to Fix
Replace the high-pressure fuel pump and cam follower with the updated design. Check the low-pressure fuel pump is delivering adequate supply pressure. Clear adaptation values after replacement.

Owner tips & cautions
- TipIf your Evoque has the original fuel pump, ask the dealer about the updated part during your next service. The updated cam follower is a significant improvement.

Frequently asked questions
What does P0088 mean on a Land Rover?
P0088 stands for "Fuel Rail/System Pressure - Too High." P0088 means the engine computer detected that fuel rail (or fuel system) pressure is higher than the maximum allowed. On modern direct-injection and high-pressure systems, the computer regulates rail pressure precisely and watches the fuel pressure sensor; if pressure climbs too high, it sets this code to protect injectors and components. Excessive pressure usually points to a stuck or failed pressure regulator/control valve, a restricted return, or a sensor reading fault. Symptoms can include rough running, hard starting, hesitation, or the engine entering a reduced-power mode. On Land Rover it is documented across 1 model: Range Rover Evoque.
What are the most common causes of P0088?
The most common causes of P0088 are: Faulty fuel pressure regulator or pressure control valve, Stuck-closed or restricted fuel return line, Failed or inaccurate fuel rail pressure sensor, High-pressure fuel pump control fault, Wiring/connector issues at the regulator or sensor, Clogged fuel return or relief mechanism, PCM/ECM control or calibration fault. The specific cause varies by vehicle.
How much does it cost to fix P0088 on a Land Rover?
Published repair estimates on Land Rover range from $800 to $2,000 depending on the model and root cause. If an issue mentions a recall or campaign, check your VIN with the manufacturer or NHTSA and confirm eligibility and coverage with a dealer.
