Just a quick question. Who did you get to do the cylinder liners. Everyone I have spoken to told me,they won't touch the ingenium engine. I had one guy in the UK, quite close to Chester, who wanted £1000 just to do the liners. I ended up having the engine rebored +0.5mm.

I came across that too but found an engineer in Northern Ireland who could change the liners.

Hi, Im inspecting only 40000 km used oem pistons. I cant find piston ring to ring groove clearance. Its like on top ring something like 0.15 mm, that seem excesive to me, but the ring groove looks perfectly square. Is there in autodata any ring to groove clearance data?

[@alfiesautoworld]

Hi, there isn't any information on that in Autodata. You're probably looking at Topix for that sort of info. I decided to go for new pistons and rings as a precaution as these engines are so problematic.

A Greek ingeneer fixed my with rings from Mercedes 2.0! And problem solved

Hi I actually bought a xe 2016 with 126k miles It drives perfect I did full service with best products But is it normal that this engine is loud and it have little tick sound There is no engine light or codes

[@alfiesautoworld]

Hi thanks for your comment. The engines can be a bit louder than others. The ticking noise may be from your timing chains. Find a Jaguar/ Land Rover specialist in your area to have a look over it. If it does need timing chains then you can make a decision what to do next. If not then you have peace of mind. If you keep driving and there is a problem, eventually you may need an engine.

@@alfiesautoworld I have a ton of service history which shows timing chain is done like 30k miles ago with original recipts But don’t even know if those are real It looks real but you know nowadays And I have heard that the sounds comes from turbo too it’s common issue or pistons

I live in Northern Ireland so unfortunately I can't really recommend anybody close to you. You can send me a video on Facebook messenger to Alfred Shiels if you want.
