Timing Chains & Belts
At Parkside Garage, we specialise in timing belt and timing chain replacements for all Jaguar Land Rover models.
The timing belt or chain is crucial for your engine’s proper functioning. If it wears down, it can cause severe engine damage, such as bent valves, broken camshafts, or even engine failure. Regular inspections and following the manufacturer’s maintenance schedule are essential to prevent these issues.
While timing belts are common, some models use a metal timing chain, which generally requires less frequent replacement. However, it still needs proper maintenance. Failing to change the engine oil regularly can cause the chain to slacken, leading to engine noise and potential damage.
The 2.0-liter Ingenium engine, used in many Jaguar and Land Rover vehicles, is known to have several issues. A major problem is timing chain failure. The timing chains in these engines tend to stretch, causing a rattling noise and the engine malfunction light to illuminate. If not addressed, the chains can eventually snap, leading to engine damage and potential failure.
Another common issue with the Ingenium engine is premature oil dilution. Excess diesel can enter the engine sump, diluting the engine oil. This reduces lubrication efficiency and can damage engine components, including the timing chains.
