Question: This is the PSA engine? Do these engines have a chain between the cams as well, or is it just the timing belt? I believe the later 2.0 diesel Ingenium engines has the belt & chain setup. Also, what about the PSA 2.7 & 3.0 diesels: all belt, or belt and chains?

Thanks for your reply yes i almost agree but very regular oil changes over comes fuel dilution problems 4-6k plus 10w40 weight oil i have a Saab 9-3 tid that could suffer oil dilution the same way The oil drain down is the main reason for bearing to fail coupled with extended oil changes and limited use

The reason is the position of the oil filter and the infrequent use in the early days of its life as a cherished toy if the engine was used every day the oil film left on the journals is enough to protect them until the oil pressure is resumed after starting. If the car is left for a few days the oil drains out of the oil filter [set on the top of the engine for ease of service as often there is no room on side of the engine the closet to the critical parts of the engine where engineers would put it ] and also the bearing faces on start up the oil has to recharge the system before full protection is achieved so the bearings are slowly worn away hence low mileage ones are most at risk Nissan had a similar problem with the Navara D222

you legend! Hey just wondering, would you happen to have a copy of any manuals for this engine handy? Thanks mate.

Mostly BS

I'm having some trouble talking my break Caballero off

What a great video well done!

Amazing video. Thanks for your effort with this. Would the XF 2.7 diesel belt change be very similar?

Thanks. Very helpful for my sd4 Freelander.

Thanks for the very interesting video.

I think i would do them welsh plugs while its all apart one looks a bit rusty at the bottom.

good video easy to follow. 2010 xk changed the switch as shown, hood open warning still showing. Even though connection is neat and clean I tried cleaning connection with alcohol and dried, and reconnected, warning still showing. Is there a code that needs to be reset? Battery had gone flat prior to warning showing.

Thank you for this, sir! Very helpful, especially mentioning the size of the long-nose socket required to do the job. Saved me a lot of back and forth to the hardware store to get the right one.

Brilliant video thank you.

My 14 reg XF had its EGR die recently and it leaked coolant intermittently, so it looked like there was a fire in the engine bay, no warning lights or anything came up from the OBD2 reader i had. Cost me a lot of money to replace it. Don't think I could have tried your fixes but I'm subscribing for the other videos you've uploaded.

Have you done video on DPF regeneration on our cars ? And what tools are needed ?

What a crazy place to have a belt.

Hello Crystalclearmechanics. Thanks for being so selfless. I absolutely love your videos. I have a 2012 Jaguar XF with the pedestrian system warning sign on (Red triangle 🔺️). It came on after a minor left front impact. Im thinking of changing the pedestrian sensor (just like you did). Any heads up/ advice?

jag make oil now you will tell me next they make their own engines ..lol.. they are not made to last no matter of servicing and rubber timing belts will still dissolve in oil no magic rubber belt will save these they are made to be to costly to repair. not made to last,,

Hi bud I’m just in the middle of changing my oil pump on a 2007 range rover 2.7 the same engine I have set the top 2 pins in the cams and viewed the hole above the starter I have then taken the belt of changed the oil pump and now ready to put the belt back on but when I have tried to put the bottom timing pin above the starter in it does not want to go in on further looking at the locating hole it looks off centre I have turned the fly wheel slightly and can se some more holes but they also look off I am wondering if the fly wheel could have been changed at some point to a manual one as my one is automatic Any ideas? Many thanks

Completely useless video I like how he just skipped past the fact that it's near impossible with the engine in. Very misleading

Thank you so veryyyy much for the fantastic video you are a Legend 💪🫡, I been waiting ur video so I can do fix my Discovery 4 I bought a cheap car for my wife , car it’s not running for the last 4 months so I take some risk everything in the car so great so I bought, this LR4 always serviced on time by previous owner, full logbooks paperwork everything all history shows, story being so while he pulling his camper coming from very long distance about a 1000 kms and some how he find his car started leaks coolant then overheated engine in the way back so he was so close to his home about 40-60 kms drive it until arrived home , it has new AGM battery car won’t crank no click it just heard funny sound as it turn on like an electric motor similar to winch motor ? Oil level under full a bit two notch and oil cap has smell bit burn Do You reckon engine gone 😢? Then I used my scanner ATOFIX pro , I plugged it it OBD port in LR4 it shows me that I have only two faults -1 DDM (Driver Door Module) -2 PCM (Powertrain Control Module) then under the rest it says no response . When I did the scan battery was 13.8 it’s new 4 weeks old. I use a long plastic cable tight as a snack to check between the oil filter and the oil cooler if there is any oil spread because of the high temperature/pressure it might go faulty but I find all dry no oil leaks or trace all around engine very clean nothing u find only the red coolant bit track , the famous top thermostat it’s split when I just pump the hose/pipe it makes a hissing and water go through it ,, I checked the water bottle have no trace of milky liquid or in the oil and front thermostat there is a trace of red coolant and on some pipes this was before a week , and today before you send me your reply I took the fan out and I tried to crank the engine manually because I thought it might piston jammed or coked the engine or crank might be snapped who knows , but thanks God , cranked it freely I moved it both ways front and back nothing jammed or anything sounds funny? Then I tried to go searching all around the engine and I found out on the top thermostat that’s it’s sitting on the top of the oil cooler top thermostat was split damage I replaced it with new then I checked the engine oil take the screw sump to see how the oil looks like then first what came out is a pure clean water about a 2 big mugs and then a dark black oil was smells bad burned it didn’t left the constant of oil it’s still oil not oily waterish- I think because it’s been sitting too long after this incident he had with his car overheated the engine cools and oil burn cooked oil so for long it’s hold all the dehydration inside some how as no coolant all gone no oil inside coolant and no coolant in oil 🤷‍♂️. It seems head gasket I’m in it now , I’m thinking it might be a thermostat cause all this or water pump gone was faulty I don’t know 🤷‍♂️ … then I add water to the new bottle fill it up put all hoses back new thermostat battery new then i put oil from my last week oil service was done to my Td5 idea to wash the engine out with Td5 old oil then I’ll add new oil and filter…I give then put everything back together I start car won’t start engine but it’s cranking all smooth the message I see on screen is low key battery and low coolant and the water bottle is full and red yellow triangle message says Restricted Performance ?? what do u think plzzzzz I need your advice 🙏🏻🙏🏻🫡🫡 Many thanks again To youuu really you are a Legend 🙏🏻💪🫡 Cheers Matt

Seems like a lot of work and a lot of variables for the driver to worry about. I will just go with a petrol or petrol hybrid engine.

I have a fuel leak on my ford territory diesel dripping down the gear box

What size is the “removing tool” lol?

This engine is good or not ?

What a brilliantly explained video thank you.

Great mechanic

Where is the cam position sensor located

Merci beaucoup 🙏

Are they known for breaking as have had a garage do the front belt but this wasn’t mentioned 2007 xj 93000 on the clock

Great video. Found my EGR fault P245A was also used by this broken torsion spring. Have fixed it temporarily with an elastic band until I fit a tension spring tomorrow. VERY HAPPY!!!

Hi where you bought a spring ?

Thank you for this video, I had a problem with my car randomly cutting out so I followed your video and fit a new filter and it's sorted my issue 😁

Hi Nick i saw your video im from uk i have peugeot 407 2.7 v6 hdi 2008 i have big problem as no one wants to change my cambelt on my peugeot i try all call arund even blody peugeot Services 🙄🤔really i give up do you know anyone who can do job or yourself ..please Help😊thanks bojan

This didn't fix my issue unfortunately, seemed like the number plate housing lenses were glued in previously and when I changed a dead bulb the water may have seeped into the camera as it went from working fine to intermittant to now " camera not available contact dealer" permanently. anyone know hoe to get the camera out 2012 XF?

If the interior of my xf gets untidy. Mrs will be driving our Hyundai. Edit: thanks for the posting video.

ITs guys like you that keep these cars going ! Thanks

Would like confirmation of car year and if your car is without keyless. Part number would help please. My car is XF 2014 2.2d. Thx

I was doing my Fathers car and the pin did not line up ,any ideas?Don't know what was done before why the pins don't line up. Was going to use paint and lock it but wondered if you had any idea what I could do to put it right?. Thanks

Hi good job how is timing of fully will

Nice and easy to understand. Great stuff. Thanks.

Thank you 👍

Did mine last month using your guide, 2015 model. Only issue I had was getting the crankshaft bolt out because of the limited access. I ended up taking off the radiator fan (2 bolts and a electrical connection) to give me more space. I owe you a beer, many thanks.

This is truly gold information…. Plus a repair tip. Seriously I’m so happy you have made this video. My XF 2.2 has been giving me the same fault code only I’ve left it. Now I want to check if it’s this spring. Amazing stuff thank you.

The 2.2d is a good engine don't tide with the ingenium brush

Thank you so much. My local garage just pulled off the piston yesterday and confirmed the spring was broken and that it would cost £800 all in to repair. I lost my job last year and had to replace the pads and disks recently so you don't know how relieved I am to find this fix. I've got a piece of metal I can make the bracket out of. Just need to find a spring.

I got an aftermarket fuel filter which is for my 2013 jag xf the one im taking off is exactly the same as the one you show in this video. The replacement looks identical apart from it does not have the aditional screwcap which you remove to prime the filter. My question is can i still prine the filter by connecting a hose to one of the inlet pipes and pouring diesel via a funnel to fill the filter. I dont have any additional pumps or anything so could i do it this way? If so how would i know it is full, do i need to remove all the caps first ect to prevent air blockage etc Cheers. Great video by the way very simple to follow

Hi, I've got an issue with the gauge readings not being accurate on my 2.2, usually sticking at around half full, so I'm guessing I need to replace the sender unit, do you know where I can find the part number for this?

What a beauty 😍
