Since 2009, the company’s plant has been assembling the Jaguar AJV6D 3.0-liter V6 diesel engine, which is still found in many of the British company’s well-known models, including the XJ, XF, and F-Pace. Land Rover SUVs have the same power unit installed, but it is identified by the symbol 306DT. This motor is a type of 3.0 HDi diesel engine.

Disadvantages of the Jaguar AJV6D engine
Lubrication pressure is a factor in almost every issue with this diesel engine;
Early on, a weak oil pump was installed, which caused the liners to crank; the pump was later replaced, but careful monitoring of the oil pressure is still necessary;
Additionally, grease frequently seeps through the front crankshaft oil seal and heat exchanger;
Piezo injectors and a plastic intake manifold are the motor’s weak points.
