In this video I discuss whether an apprentice mechanic should shadow a mentor, or learn on the job as he goes.

Jaguar XE rescue mission. I bought the cheapest Jaguar XE in Northern Ireland!
Could you please advise on the possible aftermarket upgrades which could make the engine better? I would like to remap mine to have somewhat more power, but I do not want to damage the engine. If anything, I want to have as reliable engine as it is ingeniously possible :)
How much does it cost replace the crankshaft?
Hello, good afternoon. Sir, I have a question about the new engine that I am installing. The liners he put on the cylinders were the same as the factory ones. Or I assemble some with burrs, the ones that come already finished.
Hi, best going with factory. The liners in mine had no burrs as far as I can remember.
What is the likely cost to repair?
You need to turn the car on for 70 seconds without starting it, turn it off again, and repeat twice. You’ll hear the fuel pump stop at around that 70 second mark. Cheers, tho, mate. I’m working on my timing chain and balance shafts. Good on you for persevering. It inspires me. Much love from LA.❤
Thank you 😀
Looks like they use bicycle chain parts.
Hello foreman. I'm looking at a Jaguar XE 20d 2017. According to the garage, it has a problem. He says the engine makes noise but is drivable. Does that mean the timing chain or connecting rod bearing is damaged?
It's impossible to say without looking at it. If it's driving then more likely to be the timing chains. It's very possible to have underlying engine damage though.
Probably caused by oil dilution, due to EGR valve , short journeys and too long between oil services.
Is there any chance you can share the pdf of the service sheets
Hi sorry I don't have an Autodata account at the moment unfortunately.
@@MechanicMatters ne Botha my son's had a whoopsy with his so it's looking like a teardown and rebuild
Hello! I am about to have such an engine repaired. Can you tell me how far the injectors protrude into the cylinder. Thanks!
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?
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
Just subscribed to your channel 😂,
Thank you 😀
Love your video, funny and serious at the same time 😂
You are a brave man messing about with the ingenium. I wish you the best of luck with this car👍
Hi can you do this job with the engine in the car ? Thanks
Hi, yes you will need to take the gearbox out and subframe depending on what model you're working on.
Hi, Thank you for your great videos. How much did you cost to rebuild the engine? My car's crankshaft is also broken and I want to repair it myself, but I am not sure about the costs.
It depends what all parts you need to change. You will need to set aside around £2000 for parts alone.
@@MechanicMatterstnx a lot
Where you ger the manual?
Autodata
Hi, what tool have you used for main bearing bolts? Is it possible with torx or something special from jaguar only?
I used ordinary torx. I think it was t60 from memory.
Here you buy the parts?
Can you tell were you buy the parts to the engine. If you can give the link please
You are quite correct in what you are saying. Reading a fault code is easy, interpreting it another story. I have a BMW which had a fault on the throttle body, It was causing codes on the traction control and then sent the tyre pressure monitor nuts. Go figure, Its a BMW.
Yeah 100% Neil. People don't realise how these systems are linked together.
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.
Nice
A mash hammer it is thanks bud . I been at it for a few hours trying to get in with Stanley blade ever ! . A mash seems brutal. But if that’s what Landrovers do . Thanks again
I was hoping for a longer vid😉 Good job👍
Thank you! I'll get the longer video up soon.
What did you use to polish it with ?
A soft plastic head fitting for a cordless drill. It must be soft enough not to mark or distort the Head surface.
how much do you charge to replace the timing chain, I have 2017 XF which needs done I'm based in Belfast.
Hi Rio, unfortunately I'm not doing any work for the public at the moment.
How does that fuel pump gear come off when u take the bolt off it comes off easily? Or will you need to pry it?
Hi, you will need a special puller tool.
Holiday music 😳😳😳😳
Thanks for the video please keep updated

What was the procedure mate
Hi. Wheres the location of the camshaft bearing and where can i get them?
Thank you! a lot of work :/
Hi Alfie, do you have an email I can use to get in contact with you? My Jag has timing chain issues and need to get it fixed. Thank you
What is the problem. please.
What is the problem. please.
Allie in Canada looking at a Jaguar F Pace P400. You definitely look like the right man to ask. Good engine?
Hi Allie, thanks for your comment. I did work for JLR for a short time but that engine was only coming into production. I don't have any first hand experience with it unfortunately.
This give me a headache to look at haha
You’re my guide in caring for my XE. These cars are kind of a nightmare. But I’m committed now. Haha. How do you get all the specialized tools? I can’t find them here in the US. I’ve been looking for the injector remover and it doesn’t seem to be possible in the US.
Haha they're a labour of love! I got the timing tools off ebay. They were around 100 dollars or so. I didn't need a special tool for the Injectors. I was able to work them side to side while applying some upward pressure.
I can’t tell if you have the 20D or 20t. I’d clean out the DPF if that’s what you have out. It’s an expensive bit, and a a diluted pool acid clean is plenty to clean it out.
Hi, thanks for your comment. It's a 2.0 Diesel. Yes 100% I'll be cleaning it out. The dpf is most likely blocked. I didn't check pressure readings before taking the engine out.
Most of your video's wont come on dont know why
I would not recommend this
Just skim it properly 😂
Hello, can you help me with a problem with the oil pump.the old one has a tensioner and the new one does'nt.what can i do?
There was no tensioner for my oil pump. I'm not sure if the part was ever changed or superseded. Get your parts supplier to confirm it's the correct part for your engine.
How many miles had it done?
Hi Tim, 105,000 miles ruffly
What year is that xe. Im getting ready to buy a xf on friday. Is this going to be a huge mistake?
Hi Rocco, it's 2015. Any JLR vehicle's with the 2.0 ingenium diesel engine will suffer with these issues unfortunately. Unless they have been serviced every 6,000 miles or so.
Thank you sir I appreciate you
Take some brake cleaner and a plastic scraper, that way you won't ruin the surface
