Disadvantages of the Jaguar AJ30 engine
Although this motor is very dependable, replacement parts are pricey.
The primary issues are related to intake suction caused by cracked gaskets.
Low reliability is another feature of the electric drive used to alter the intake geometry.
The oil will push through all the cracks in the crankcase ventilation valve if it is not cleaned on a regular basis.
Rings may cause lubricant consumption on runs longer than 200,000 kilometers.
