Disadvantages of the Jaguar AJ25 engine
Despite having numerous expensive and uncommon parts, the device is fairly dependable;
The primary issues are related to drying gasket-related air leaks;
Additionally, the electrically driven geometry change system frequently malfunctions in the intake; the crankcase ventilation valve needs to be cleaned on a regular basis to prevent lubricant from pressing through all the cracks; and high mileage causes oil consumption because of stuck piston rings.
