Genuine Part
Genuine: Original manufacturer part. This product is the original part designed and produced by the vehicle manufacturer.
Coolant Bypass Tube - rigid coolant transfer tube in the engine cooling system, connecting the thermostat housing to the heater water circuit.

It carries coolant around the thermostat while the engine is below operating temperature, so that flow is maintained through the block and the heater circuit before the main radiator loop opens. The tube seals to the housing and to the connecting hoses with O-rings; leaks normally appear at these joints or at corrosion points along the tube itself.

Fitted to the 3.0L AJ20P6 Ingenium six-cylinder petrol engine.

Frequently asked questions

What does the LR121447 coolant bypass tube do?
The LR121447 is a coolant bypass tube for the 3.0L AJ20P6 petrol engine. It routes coolant around the thermostat housing to feed the heater circuit and help engine warm-up. A cracked or leaking tube loses coolant and can cause overheating or a cold cabin heater.
What are the signs this bypass tube is failing?
Signs on the 3.0L AJ20P6 petrol engine typically include coolant loss, a sweet smell, visible leaks near the thermostat housing, or weak cabin heat. Plastic coolant tubes crack with heat cycling and age. Any coolant leak should be sorted quickly to avoid overheating damage.
Which vehicles use this coolant bypass tube?
This tube fits the 3.0L AJ20P6 petrol engine in the New Defender (2020 on), Discovery 5, Range Rover L405 and L460, Range Rover Sport L494 and L461, and Range Rover Velar. Confirm your vehicle has the 3.0 AJ20P6 petrol engine before ordering.
