Timing Chain Problems 2019-newer Jaguar Land Rover AJ V8 Engines
Prevention is the best course of action. Metal-on-metal wear is the cause of chain wear and failure. If we assume (or hope!) that the JLR specified oil is strong enough to prevent this when new, we might expect better protection if we change it earlier. Hence our advice to change oil at 7,500 miles, though that number is somewhat arbitrary and cautious owners might prefer a 5 or 6k interval. Readers of my columns may note that I've written about timing chain issues on other car lines, such as Mercedes. On those engines we often saw chain wear in engines where there was extensive sludge buildup, which suggests the driver used "economy" oil in place of the recommended oil, and didn't change it often enough. The Land Rover engines we see are mostly clean inside, even with clear chain/guide failure. Looking at the engine photos above you will note the designers have three oil jets aimed at the crank gear. Clearly that is the highest stress point for oil in this engine.
While widespread layoffs are occurring, and wealthy types being forced to forgo lucrative bonuses at the very least, its no wonder why premium car sales have been hit hard. But while some dealerships may be struggling to get by, others such as Denver Land Rover dealers have the luxury of having a long-established business and a well-known name to get by while sales nationwide suffer. Although premium new car sales have been shaky at best, there is a silver lining for some. Premium used car sales among New Hampshire Volvo dealers and Philadelphia used car dealers have actually increased. Mercedes Benz Pittsburgh says luxury buyers dont want to give up the premium brand, but they do want to spend the normal gobs of cash to get it. The automotive market in general is in a dismal state, and theres more to it than just building the wrong cars. Many claim that the biggest problem with the Big Three is that they have produced the wrong types of cars. Yet at Los Angeles harbor, loads premium cars remain unsold and awaiting shipment. Luckily for premium automakers, they have the cash to get by. Unfortunately, like the Big Three, many premium dealers may not have that luxury.
The African assault course laid out to prove the credentials of the new 2013 Land Rover Range Rovers was one potential disaster after another. It involved scaling trails over the highest pass through Morocco's Atlas Mountains and then wading through riverbeds that were only slightly shallower than the redesigned SUV's almost 3-foot fording depth. That was followed by a drive up a coastal dune bank that even a balloon-tired Land Rover Defender was incapable of surmounting. Good thing this all-new SUV feels immensely strong, generating not a rattle, creak or squeak when lurching over boulders or clambering across gullies deep enough to leave its 20-inch wheels momentarily dangling. We rarely heard wheels spinning for grip, though, and its ability to stop itself from sledging to the bottom of steep slopes without our needing to touch the pedals was unsettlingly counterintuitive until we learned to trust it. So What's the New Recipe?
