I can't grasp this. Can someone tell me in layman's terms what it is and is it fatal for a 2016 2.0ltr engine ?
What is it ?
Is there a recall to have it repaired ?

You’re quite right Yoda , it’s not practical if you were not advised of the situation when car was purchased... and it’s not green at all ... yours is red 😜
I think if you’re doing a long run or making a continuous effort to do a full regen then it’s going to obviously work better for people ... my anger stems from the Devious bs that changed the wording to blame driving style , publishing a new handbook when problems started to arise , from the new publication onwards covered themselves with the terminology ‘driving style’ this and the fact they didn’t warn you about it prior to buying one , but when problems arose referred it back to this paragraph in a manual that only is read by the sad.... you don’t see a nice new shinny evoque at garage , look at it and say can I read the manual first,, the fact they are sold it by someone who secretly knows it’s not fit for short journeys, the fact this has happened in my opinion is still a scandal....
Maybe so but did they change a paragraph in there literature and supply there staff with a brush and shovel and fob it off as driving style when the problem came to light... furthermore did they when releasing new models try and address the original problem or like JLR are now supposed to do 4 years plus later , start advising what car might suit customer need... a lot of cars sold to a lot of unfortunate people that thought they were buying a bullet proof prestige car only to have had the wool pulled over there eyes in this regard ,,,, disgustingly wrong on every level
But are they blaming the customers driving style .... this is the point JLR wormed there way out buy adding a paragraph into manual of the same car when problems arose then washed there hands of it , they don’t even cover DPF in warranty... they washed there hands of it that much there’s been no Covid cases in there head office 😂😂😂
The date they changed the wording in manuals.... deviants
True and just think of all the extra points you will get at the garage when filling her up 😱

And what gets me is the fact that even since the launch of the new one they from what I gather have not changed the design fault before relaunching..... just more awareness to the problem if you’re at a good JLR dealership.... WHAT HAPPENS when these cars reach the dealerships that are not JLR and unaware of problem ...someone’s buying a year or two old car with no idea of the issue , no warning of driving style.... bit like all the people who bought the 2 litre models in 2016 up until the new version was launched no information until 2017 in a deviously written paragraph in handbook....
Oh the angels alphabet 😱🤣🤣
Great attitude , you should just enjoy it ....I’m not slating these cars I just feel that it’s undefendable in there handling of it.... I read recently someone had to sign a disclaimer that the issues had been explained when picking up a new one.... to me that’s a admission of guilt
I think it’s all about awareness to the issue , if JLR are not informing people of it then the more it’s documented the more chance it will make others aware...I don’t know why Revoke is getting such a hard time for highlighting the fact that this is a major problem with this ... in my opinion it’s a scandal , I find it hard to understand how anyone can defend the stance JLR have taken , if people are coming onto these forums before buying a affected model to research then surly awareness to there driving style and potential issues that are possibly going to arise is a good thing .... just think Veteran for example lost all faith in his car to the extent he sold it after very short ownership, someone is going to be sold that car and if they are not being told by salesmen of this issue then by posting as much information of it so customers are aware at least they have a choice of buying knowing what there getting into.... yes some members on here are fully aware of the issue but as historical posts show many are not....
Spurds..... have a look at warranty direct site.... unlike JLR ...there warranty covers the DPF if cannot be cleaned ... if you take unlimited option for garages hourly cost it can be taken to JLR garage anyway ... mine was £340 , Doogi just did his for £370 I think it was ... this is half the price of JLRs warranty and covers a lot...
Can’t understand why anyone with the 2 litre engine would take a JLR warranty if the most problematic problem with the model is excluded ... no brainier in my eyes

Agreed but the other manufacturers at a guess didn’t change a paragraph in there literature and pass the blame to driving style .... instead of a umbrella in the boot as a free gift JLRmight as well put inn a brush and a rug......this is what I find so annoying... it doesn’t even affect my engine as have the 2.2 , I just feel strongly that it’s a immoral thing to do, that and the fact that that paragraph and no advice was given at purchase when knowing full well the problem exsists.... and then excluding it from warranty .... do other manufacturers do this ? I don’t know , Just know this is undefendable and any help on the issue for the poor unfortunate people that are shelling out 1000s now to remedy it should be highlighted .
As regards the new diesel models then as far as I’m aware it exactly the same layout , some dealerships as mentioned are now having disclaimers signed saying the issue has been explained .... admission of guilt to the previous owners ..... this and the fact I highlighted in another post that nearly new evoques are sold at dealerships out with JLR umbrella and there salesmen have no information on the topic , so if someone has returned one for this reason and it ends up in let’s say Arnold Clarke what chance have they got, unless they do there research first and in most cases when buying a prestige car should you really have to find out it’s not fit for purpose after you have purchased..... makes my blood boil
and further to this if a new member comes on asking for advice of what model to go for I think it’s our duty to be honest and share what we know... maybe the page JLR published last year ...the quick survey asking what mileage etc and what engine might suit them best ... perhaps one of mods could put it on a fixed thread ...
Driving style when purchasing 2016 models onwards with a link to JLRS page , as I’m sure not all dealerships when selling these models are advising there salespeople to advise...at the end of the day there there to sell cars and as we all know it’s a tunnel vision job .... only the good points highlighted
sorry for rants

Biggest independent in Europe .... Arnold died a few years ago , other half has. Done work for his now adult children who are involved.. discounts on van etc and played golf on few occasions with his son through a mutual friend , they have bmw , Mercedes , vow franchises now tooNice rant.
I've got a petrol and I didn't get an umbrella either.
Are Arnold Clark still going ?
They used to have a terrible reputation.
Think this issue is always going to throw up different opinions... we need to respect each others thoughts and just advise as each of us see it then people can make there own assumptions.... but bear in mind I’m always right😱😱😱😂😂😂😂even when wrong ...ask you’re wife’s I’m sure they will agree xxx
