Genuine Part
Genuine: Original manufacturer part. This product is the original part designed and produced by the vehicle manufacturer.
Throttle Body and Motor is the motorised intake throttle valve within the air intake system of the 2.7L V6 Lion/Td6 diesel engine.

Mounted in the intake tract ahead of the inlet manifold, the butterfly valve regulates the flow of air into the engine. Its integral electric motor drives the valve under engine management control, supporting exhaust gas recirculation and providing a smooth, shudder-free engine shut-down. The assembly combines the throttle body and its actuating motor as a single unit.

Frequently asked questions

What is the throttle body and motor and what does it do?
This is the motorised intake throttle valve for the 2.7L V6 Lion/Td6 diesel Discovery 4. Mounted in the intake ahead of the inlet manifold, its butterfly valve regulates airflow into the engine, driven by an integral electric motor under engine management control.
Why does a diesel engine need a throttle body?
On the 2.7 V6 diesel, the throttle body supports exhaust gas recirculation and gives a smooth, shudder-free engine shut-down by closing off airflow. It combines the throttle body and its actuating motor as a single unit, controlled electronically rather than by a cable.
What are the signs the throttle body needs replacing?
A failing throttle body and motor on the 2.7 V6 Td6 typically shows as a shuddering or rough engine shut-down, EGR or airflow fault codes, poor running, or limp mode. Because the motor is electronically controlled, a fault often logs a diagnostic code.
How do I confirm this fits my Discovery 4?
This throttle body fits the Discovery 4 built 2010 to 2016 with the 2.7L V6 Lion/Td6 diesel engine (140KW), from VIN AA000001. Confirm your Discovery 4 has the 2.7 V6 diesel and your VIN is at or after that floor before ordering.
