This hose returns used oil from the turbocharger back to the engine sump, ensuring proper lubrication and preventing turbocharger overheating. LR044556 is the earlier part number in a supersession path: LR044556 > LR078522 > LR078875 > LR087351.

Key Features

• Turbocharger oil return – directs used oil from turbo back to sump

• OE-grade quality – manufactured to original Land Rover specifications

• Direct-fit replacement – matches factory routing and connections

• For 3.0L TDV6 / SDV6 diesel engines – 24V DOHC TC

• Improved design – shorter pipe replaces original design to prevent oil pooling issues

OE Cross-Reference

💡 Important: LR044556 has been superseded by LR087351. Always order the current part number for guaranteed compatibility. When replacing this hose, also order LR044555 (blanking plug) and LR013235 (gasket) per Technical Service Bulletin LTB00487.

Vehicle Fitment

⚠️ Important: This hose is specifically for the 3.0L TDV6 / SDV6 diesel engine – not for 2.0L, 3.6L, 4.4L diesel, or petrol engines. The supersession path applies to vehicles up to VIN DA676456; later vehicles were factory-fitted with the improved shorter pipe.

Signs of Failure

• Oil leaks – visible oil around turbocharger area

• Blue smoke from exhaust – particularly after long motorway journeys (oil pooling in secondary turbo)

• Low oil level – recurring need to top up engine oil

• Turbocharger noise – insufficient lubrication causing bearing wear

💡 The original oil return pipe drained into the sump, allowing oil to pool in the secondary turbo. The improved shorter pipe drains directly into the engine block, eliminating the pooling issue.

Critical – Verify Your VIN Before Ordering

Turbocharger oil return hoses are VIN‑, engine‑, and model‑year‑specific. Variations in production date and VIN range affect which part is required. Provide your VIN – our team confirms exact compatibility before dispatch. We cannot accept returns for misordered parts without VIN verification.

💡 Installation Tip: Professional installation recommended. This replacement was introduced under Land Rover Technical Service Bulletin LTB00487. When replacing, you will also need LR044555 (blanking plug for sump) and LR013235 (gasket). Access is typically via the left front wheel arch; removal of the starter motor is required for access to the block port.
