Disadvantages of the Jaguar AJ126 engine
Additionally, the damper sleeve in the supercharger drive fails rather quickly; the timing chain is a relatively small resource, typically lasting between 100 and 150 thousand kilometers;
Here, the plastic cooling tube frequently bursts and the pump does not last very long;
Bad fuel cannot be tolerated by the motor, and the throttle with nozzles needs to be cleaned;
The remaining issues are related to oil leaks via seals and valve covers.
