In this video we look at replacing the bolts and the belt on the electric power steering ( EPS ) rack on the Range Rover L494 / L405. The bolts can fail leaving you with heavy steering and a strange noise when turning the steering wheel. This kit is for sale on our website :-

Hi guys, enjoy your content on the L494. Was wondering if you would be able to do a video on turbocharger replacement on the Range Rover Sport SDV6 please? And thanks again for all those videos you guys have, it's very informative...

What happened to the L494? Have you sold it? Also, do you plan on making anything for the newer range 2018+?

On the evoque, all 5 bolts are replaced on the recall, not just the motor ones, and if you do them one at a time, there’s no risk of the motor and belt coming off

Yes replace one at a time if just replacing them

Are they steel replacement bolts? If so will they react with the casing? White grease protection perhaps? Cheers 👍🏻🙏🦘

Yes they are steel but I think the coating stops any reaction

By 2019 the better bolts had been fitted so the problem of failing bolts should not impact your car - but i guess your belt could still have issues ?

I do not think it wears - this issue is the bolts failing. Good question on the tension--- not sure there is an adjustment.

Next video.....How to replace on the car or How to remove steering rack???? Would be good to see if it's accessible to replace bolt for bolt whilst still on the car. Don't necessarily have to replace the belt.

In December 2023 at -4c after 2 days in below freezing The bolt failed on my Range rover sport 2015 , it showed no sign of corrosion as well. as soon as we turned the ignition we got the noise from the steering wheel , so it failed without any action on our part. The AA Technician said it happens often with these cars, £3000 repair 20% of the value of the car!

Bought my L494. Just 10 Days of Amazing Driving Experience (5.0 Supercharged) Drove it in Rain water and Boom goes the Steering Assistance. Now I’m staring at replacing the entire steering rack assembly. Do, i need to replace the entire assembly?

possibly - it may be repairable with a new belt - we sell the belt kits Talk to Land Rover first - i just got a recall for the Evoque ... maybe they will do a recall for the sport L494 Nice car - i have the 5L supercharged too ! Simon

If they do suffer the same as the Evoque then owners of affected vehicles need to be aware that they could lose all steering and not just assistance. On the Evoque the belt gets chewed and binds the motor hence the horrible noises as shown in the clip. The only good thing is that it usually happens when the car is stationary or at low speed. This is why JLR have been forced to recall the Evoques.

I have heard that sometimes the bed jams but no often. Did you see there seems to be wear on the edge of the old belt in the video

@@L663 It seems to be that the Evoques lose one bolt allowing the motor to twist. It's much better to have the motor fall off completely as then, as you say, you just lose assistance. Hadn't noticed the wear. Did see a bit of build up on the motor though which is the other problem people see where there has been water ingress into the motor which causes an internal failure.

I can definitively say this belt does not work on a 405. It is too long Edit/update: okay so I’m leaving my original comment up because it’s what I thought at the time. My belt broke completely and there was absolutely no steering. You could not move the steering wheel at all. I was able to remove the housing, replace the belt, put everything back together and the belt was chirping horribly like it was jumping the teeth. I initially thought the belt was too long and I wanted to try anything rather than go through the install again. I thought maybe there was a timing issue with the motor and steering rack positioning. So I removed the motor for the housing and with the wheels off the ground turned the steering lock to lock and then centered it. Once I installed the motor again it didn’t jump the belt any more. I’ve driven it about 20 miles so far, but it feels like it’s correct. I hope this helps somebody out there, because I was pretty defeated at the time.
