Whoever thought it was acceptable to place the timing chain on the flywheel end of an engine want's kicking in the balls. I'll be honest, I didn't know these were set up like this, I've seen it on more exotic Audis but on a 2l Landy, come on man. The tooling, time and effort needed for a service item is down right obscene. Great job lads, you made easy work of a hellish job, bloody box off to service a timing set man, grrrrr.

[@mazdaman1286]

We have a Jaguar in for turbo replacement, however the sump has to be removed for cleaning which involves subframe, rack etc dropping. Now pieces of iron casting found in sump. Another has had timing chain failure at speed . For all the Engine designers out there , have a look at old BMW and Mercedes duplex timing chains and guides...That's how you do timing chains. Our local Jag dealership has several vehicles with varying levels of damage tucked round the back awaiting work. Some have very little mileage on them. With the millions of miles of testing how did it come to this ? Carpet the under swept ...? Is it the toolings already been made let the customer do the development work.

Nice to hear from josh the procedures for doing the job. Unfortunately a common problem on these land rovers with the timing chains it’s mad that they use plastic tensioners like that surely they should have used something more substantial

What was the engine designer smoking when he thought putting the timing chain on flywheel side was a good idea 😆 🤣 😂

[@alfonsoaslbox4121]

The Opel Astra K model with the B16 motor has the same issue, the chain is placed on the flywheel side, a lot of work and money to change the timing kit. Bad designer and not customer friendly.

Surprised that those timing chains look the same size as the one on my pedal bike (which don't last long), my Defender Td5 engine has a double row timing chain and should last the life of the engine. Tiny bit more friction maybe? but I know which I would prefer. Great video by the way 👍

In 1975 I had an Escort Mexico with 75,000 miles on the odometer. I changed the chain as a precaution. It took less than 2 hours and in fairness to Ford it would have done that distance again. Where have we ended up? Sad.

[@GazmanUK77]

Hi what would a timing chain replacement cost on a 16 Evoque?

[@cherrypicker8897]

Ridiculous design, obviously designed so the DIY is out of the question. Does this complex design improve MPG No. Does this design improve reliability NO. Land Rover are shooting themselves in the foot.

[@ryanmg92]

The only real improvement is that if it was one continuous chain for the whole system, it would require a stronger more robust chain etc, which the manufacturer inevitably wouldn't do and they would fail even more

[@SaltimusMaximus]

not the only one, I saw something a couple of weeks ago but for the life of me can't remember which car it was but to do this job the engine has to come out totalyy

[@philtucker1224]

Always, - if the original.

[@mazdaman1286]

The trend is to put the chain between the engine and the gear box . This would imply its not a service item... Then the chain is made in a size you would not want on a bicycle along with brittle plastic guides and tensioners as soft as s#1t. Take a look back when BMW'S and Mercs had a duplex chain you could tow with, a hydraulic tensioner with a strong backup spring and guides that were steel and the front oil return from the head ran down the chain. If taken to the main dealers you will be told these engines cannot be repaired and have to be replaced effectively writing the vehicle off. Got a mini with a 3 cylinder diesel engine to look at next week low mileage snapped chain... Combi Van's and Merc A class are no fun either. The designer's should be made to work on them then think again.

[@tjjmcgoun]

Who in their right mind thought it would be a good idea to put the timing gear at the end where the gear box is, why on earth would you design something that would cause so much headache to be able to fix problems

Whatever happened to just replacing a timing chain without removing half the engine. Incredible how these brands engineer these new cars. The labour on this job would be high and rightly so

[@galaxymode]

There is a reason behind this design, it is a modular engine, so additional cylinders can always be added on the non-cam chain side. While keeping the flywheel side same design so that they can mount the gearbox regardless of how many cylinder there is.

[@kwikmechanic6844]

@@galaxymode but who would want to add additional cylinders to their car?

[@lukabilic6081]

@@kwikmechanic6844 Well the end user wouldn't add any extra cylinders. However, during the production and assembly you can use the same interchangeable parts which reduces the cost and improves the assembly speed. At least this is my guess. In principle, the entire ingenium engine line appears, on the paper, quite ingenious! If JLR spent time and resources improving chains, guides, some other parts and bolstered their internal quality control, the end consumer would be sitting in much more reliable vehicles. My guess is that the 2027 Euro7 standard implementation killed any chances of us seeing engine improvements. My hopes are that the enthusiast builders across the world will develop more durable kits for the JLR ingenium engines. Unfortunately, so far I just saw these for the AJ123 and AJ126 engine lineup. AJ200D engines (diesel ones) most likely will not get such love, but I can only dream and hope that happens :D
