Anyway, they're not the same units, the Defender has a Duratorq Puma engine which, as you say, is the same engine used in the Transit, among others.

It's a decent engine, with plenty of torque, but with some obvious turbo lag at low revs.

Old thread.
And already mentioned its a PSA DW12 engine. But with the oil filter re-located to the world's most stupidest place (with exception to a few saab/vectra diesels) . Those that have changed the oil on one will attest to this (same as the Freelander 2 ). The filter location on Fords and Peugeots is much much more simpler and common sense (typical Land Rover ).
As such you will find the same lump in the Peugeot 407, and the 2.0 version (DW10) which is amlost identical to look at and found in pretty much every 2.0 Ford/Volvo/peugeot/Citroen etc, which also has a sensible oil filter location.

Sorry to revive this old thread, but my other half has just bought a 12 plate Evoque that's done just over 60k miles. When is the cam belt recommended to be changed on this DW engine?

As a general rule, I'm pretty sure current thinking on any belt-cam diesel engine with a decent wodge of torque (in practice, pretty much anything over 2L) is to replace the belt and relevant ancillaries (tensioner, pulleys etc) every 4 to 5 years or 60K, whichever comes first. It looks like your Mrs's Evoque would qualify on both counts.

Chers for the replys I'm surprised at 10 years on an original belt!
I asked as I had a cambelt snap on my old MY2000 Pug 306 HDi which bent the valves, that had done 70 odd thousand.

Yep, I would imagine this is eactly why so many sources now recommend changes at more frequent intervals than manufacturer-stated. Much the same story as with the 20,000 mile plus oil-change intervals that seem to be the fashion with a lot of manufacturers now too. Great if you're trying to sell more cars or keep costs down for the ones you've sold with X number of years servicing thrown in, not so good if you're an owner who wants to maintain their vehicle in good running order for a decent usable life.

The problem is often the belt doesn't fail, but something else does which in turn takes out the belt; crank/cam oil seal, high pressure pump, water pump (leak which in turn damages the water pump bearing and contaminates the belt), idlers, tensioner etc.
Put it this way if when underneath the car with the under tray removed and you see oil deposits or crusted/dried coolant (Ford/Range Rover OAT coolant leaves quite obvious pink deposits) on or around the timing belt cover then the belt will not last its rated interval. Same applies if you hear a dry bearing noise from the timing belt area (with bonnet up and vanity cover removed). Common sense really.
