My dear, I hope you are well when you receive this letter. I hope this letter has not caused you any inconvenience. I'm DYU Lisa and I noticed that we haven't seen you post related video content since receiving the e-bike. I am very concerned that there may be some difficulty or problem hindering your creative process. I sincerely hope to hear from you and understand your current situation. If there is any problem, no matter how big or small, I would like to help you in any way I can. Your silence makes me uneasy, and if no new content is posted, I will face severe punishment from the company. I chose to work with you because of the trust I have in you and your huge fan base. I didn't ask for a formal contract because I trust your integrity and professionalism. However, if the agreement cannot be fulfilled, I will have to pay a fine equivalent to 50% of the value of the bike to the company, which is a huge burden for me, probably equivalent to one month of my salary. I am a single mother raising three children on my own. Every day, I try my best to work so that they can have a better life. They're everything to me. They're what keeps me going. However, the weight of life weighed me down, and I feared that my inadequacy would cause them to suffer. I sincerely ask for your help because I don't want my children to go hungry or out of school because of my plight. Your support means the world to us. Therefore, I hereby implore you to complete our cooperation. This is very important to me because if our cooperation does not go smoothly, I may face penalties from the company. I understand that everyone faces challenges, and I just hope we can get through this together. Please be assured that I am here to support you, look forward to your response, and hope that we can resolve this issue soon. Sincerely, Lisa

Seems to me if you buy a modern car, do extra oil changes. Follow service schedule but sneak in extra oil changes. Never gone over 6k on any car, oil is cheap.

[@steve0680657]

Ridiculous. At 6k oil is golden like new. Castrol or Shell fully synthetic is designed to offer 100% protection to 12.5k so you're wasting money and the environment to maintain misplaced beliefs.

[@sheldonlea]

Correct, particularly for urban driving. I recommend full synthetic oil...works for me.

[@terrymurphy562]

My Evoque ingenium engine has been spot on, regular oil changes is the key. Really nice car is you actually service it.

[@alanco4637]

Worked at JLR when they changed over to the Ingenium engine. It was an absolute disaster from the start. They basically broke all the rules and instead of modifying an existing engine they decided to build a brand new engine from scratch. It basically pissed out oil from every orifice. The best bit though was that they decided to do away with a woodruff key and just used thread lock to attach the sprockets. That worked fine until they had an agency worker at the Engine management Centre in Wolverhampton who forgot to apply the thread lock. That lasted for months and they ended up with tens of thousands of engines that fail when the sprockets become detached from the camshafts and destroyed the engine. It come be worse it could be a Disco Sport from that era when they used the wrong windscreen sealant. That results in huge leaks from the top of the windscreen. The 2.2 is a ford engine far more reliable but not refined enough for a vehicle of that class.

[@lukabilic6081]

Were there any upgrades in the meantime with the engine? I read they tried to improve quality control and improve other things. The basic design, though, remains the same. I would like to know more about it because I own one (2022 model) and will most likely be upgrading bits of it to make it last longer. Every bit of information helps immensely!

[@IliescuBenyamin]

The timing chain kit was the main improvement starting around 2020 or so. They modified the sprockets so that the chain would not slack as fast. Main thing is to do regular oil changes, every 6-8.000 miles. I'm still reading and learning about these engines, i do not own/work on them

[@yommonaghan785]

Ooooooh your brave Joe . Missus has a 2.2 9 Speed and it’s been brilliant in every way but seen 2.0 ingenium s fail with less than 15k miles on them . Big risk, DPF issues , oil dilution, chains and so on, brave move if you don’t Like warranty claims lol

[@kevinmoffatt]

If someone shows interest, sit them down with a coffee and show them the video. Limit their mileage for the first six months to, say, 100. Pull down the shutters and tell everyone to come back in September. Tell the locals 'you aint seen me right' Change your name and have work done.

[@steveegginton535]

I considered a Jaguar XF diesel Ingenium a couple of years back -seemed to have lot going for it on paper! From what I've learned about these engines since then I think I may have dodged a bullet. There is a a YT channel "JR Vehicle Services" who are a garage in Kent (friends of SRUK Chris and Rob) who specialise in timing chain replacements on Ingenium diesels - they seem to do quite a few. They have produced some interesting videos on the problems with Ingenium - quite technical but some good insights. Their view is that a lot of diesel Evoques are used wrongly as school run and shopping cars when they would be better suited to long distance motorway runs.

[@PersonGamma]

Despite all the horror stories, I had a 2016 Disco Sport for years, did 70k miles and it didn't miss a beat. I'd be happy to buy one these days but would try to find one that has had a new timing chain

I would avoid JLR products like the plague. I have a 2018 Jaguar XF25. 2.0 DIESEL with an Ingenium engine. It only lasted until 66k miles and then needed replaced. List price for the replacement engine fitted at JLR main dealer was £14000. I replaced that and a few months later tried trading it at a Mercedes main dealer. They offered less than Webuyanycar for it and that just about sums them up.

When those transverse ingenium engined Evoques and Disco Sports first came out, we were still in a previous phase of Government stupidity which was that diesels were the way to go to save the planet, hence the cheap road tax. Unfortunately many were mis-sold to school run customers who weren't told that diesels were not OK for that kind of use. Wasn't helped in those earlier models which had the DPF some distance from the engine. Result - excessive forced regens, oil dilution and consequent engine problems.
