Disadvantages of the Jaguar AJD engine
The Siemens fuel system with piezo injectors is the most problematic aspect of this;
Additionally, the liners are rapidly worn down to the point of wedge and crankshaft breakage;
Oil leaks, particularly through the heat exchanger, are another serious issue;
The thermostat, EGR valve, and crankshaft oil seals are the motor’s weak points. The timing belt needs to be changed every 120,000 kilometers or the valves will bend if it breaks.
