On the 2012-2019 Land Rover Range Rover Evoque, the plastic thermostat housing on the 2.0L Si4 turbocharged engine in the first-generation Evoque is prone to cracking. The housing fails due to heat cycling and coolant pressure, causing a significant coolant leak from the front of the engine. The leak can be sudden and severe, leading to rapid overheating if not caught immediately.

This issue also affects: Land Rover Discovery Sport

Common Symptoms

  • Coolant leak from front of engine
  • Low coolant warning
  • Overheating
  • Sweet coolant smell from engine bay
  • Steam from engine compartment

How to Fix

Replace the thermostat housing assembly with the updated design. Some aftermarket manufacturers offer aluminum replacements that eliminate the cracking issue. Replace the thermostat at the same time. Refill with JLR OAT coolant and bleed the cooling system properly.

On the 2012-2019 Land Rover Range Rover Evoque, jLR communications document loss of AWD or a two-wheel-drive-only warning on specified 2012-2016 Evoque vehicles from coupling-oil-pump brush faults, control-module configuration damage or other Active Driveline causes. Later guidance addresses low-speed noise or judder. The records support the coupling-failure identity, but not a universal fluid interval, degraded-fluid cause, controller failure, seizure or the frozen U0300/C1A54 attribution.

This issue also affects: Land Rover Discovery Sport

How to Fix

Record the exact warning and DTCs, confirm whether the vehicle has Efficient Driveline or Active Driveline, verify matching tires and follow the current VIN-specific JLR pinpoint test. Do not replace a controller, pump or complete coupling or prescribe fluid service from this page; the documented causes differ and there is no universal retail part for the frozen scope.

On the 2016-2019 Land Rover Range Rover Evoque, jLR communications directly document InControl Touch or Touch Pro symptoms across the frozen 2016-2019 Evoque scope, including reboot loops, navigation initialization freezes, audio or media faults and software-update conditions. Later JLR programs provided a wired IMC update and time-limited IMC warranty support. The evidence supports the infotainment identity but not the claim that aging hardware universally causes it or that Bluetooth storage explains the failures.

This issue also affects: Land Rover Range Rover, Jaguar E-PACE, Jaguar F-PACE

How to Fix

Record the exact symptom and installed software level, then follow the current VIN-specific JLR infotainment workflow. Apply a wired or over-the-air update only when directed, and diagnose the IMC before replacement. This is primarily a software/diagnostic remedy; no SSD, CarPlay retrofit or universal retail part is linked.
