The early-generation 306DT engine was introduced for Land Rover 3.0-liter diesel applications around 2009.
Compared with later 306DT/30DDTX applications, early-generation engines were mainly installed in earlier Land Rover platforms and should not automatically be considered interchangeable with every later 3.0-liter diesel engine.
This product is intended for selected early-generation applications.
Always confirm the original engine number, VIN and engine configuration before ordering.
Selected Discovery 4 models equipped with:
3.0 TD
3.0 TDV6
3.0 SDV6
Engine code:
306DT
Depending on model year and market, the engine was available in different power configurations.
Selected early Range Rover Sport models equipped with:
3.0 TDV6
3.0 SDV6
Engine code:
306DT
Selected early Range Rover applications may also use the 306DT engine family.
Because engine specifications vary by vehicle generation, model year and market, please contact us for exact compatibility confirmation.
The 306DT engine family was produced in several output configurations.
Common early-generation output specifications include approximately:
211 hp
245 hp
249 hp
256 hp
The exact power output depends on the vehicle model, ECU calibration, turbocharger configuration, emission specification and production year.
The primary engine identification code is:
306DT
Related designations may include:
306DT
TDV6
SDV6
AJV6D
AJD-V6
30DDTX
These designations cover multiple applications and configurations and should not be treated as a guarantee of direct interchangeability.
The correct replacement engine should be confirmed using:
VIN
Engine Number
Engine Code
Original Engine OE Number
Vehicle Model
Model Year
Original Engine Photos
The complete engine assembly may have different OE numbers depending on the vehicle model, production year, market and engine specification.
For accurate identification, please provide the original engine OE number or engine number.
