    Same size very old Toyoya inline diesel engine has 7 bearings compared to Ford/Jaguar 4 bearings. 600 newton metres of torque on the jaguar and they gave it 4 bearings!

      Hi thanks for watching and for your feedback. The block is made of compacted graphite iron which uses less material to produce compared to a conventional cast iron block, this provides reduced weight and length. It does not explain by how much the length it is reduced but reduced block length = reduced crankshaft length. That could be another reason for the inherent failure. There could be many reasons but without the correct testing equipment it's anyone's guess.

    See what mods Ford did to the 3.0 power stroke in the Ford F-150 pickup apparently changed the bearings and fitted a forged crankshaft it was fitted around 2018 to 2022 in the USA also the Australian Ford Territory had this engine 2.7 for many years without any problems so did they make changes I recommend good synthetic oil with 6k mile changes and new oil pumps at around 150k miles or better when you change the cam belt as it’s not much more work.

    I've come across your excellent video following a catastophic engine failure of my wife's 2018 3.0L V6 Jaguar XF Sportsbrake with just 40,000 miles she's had it since 2021, serviced twice at a Jaguar specialist using Jaguar parts.
    We raised a complaint with JLR due to the extremely low mileage and had it inspected at a local dealership, as requested by JLR customer services. The dealership advised they drained approx 7.7L of oil containing large amounts of metal fragments, which sounds like the idea of deisel getting into the oil is valid, as there is little chance of the specialist over-filling it.
    The car regularly showed the DPF regeneration message shortly before the self-destruct, and as the car was primarily used for short, local journeys in recent months, I wonder if these are the cars that have had the failings. I have read of the DPF regeneration of Jaguars that might explain these failings, that turning the engine off during the high temperature process, does not give it time to cool it down, and there is no message for the driver to not stop the engine during the process.
    JLR responded following report by the dealership with a visit by one of their HQ engineers, which I was told was to ensure the engine had not been chipped or had performance parts that may have jeopardised the integrity of the engine, which it had not. Still, the undisclosed amount they offered towards the replacement engine by said dealership leaves an outstanding amount of just over £18,000 for us to pay. We have taken the issue up with the Ombudsman and been told today that they are willing to investigate our complaint, though from what we read this could be up to a year to reach an outcome.
    We still have to find a replacement, preferably warrantied reconditioned engine supplier that will not rip us off. I read that all too often engine suppliers up their original pricing by a substantial amount for "unforseen additions" so if anyone can recommend anyone, preferably in the south east, Surrey, Kent, Essex area it will be welcomed.

      >The car regularly showed the DPF regeneration message shortly before the self-destruct, and as the car was primarily used for short, local journeys in recent months
      Oil delusion. While the car is running a DPF regen it dumps extra diesel into the cylinders. If the DPF regen doesn't finish, because of short trips, it will try and do the regen again and again. You end up with diluted engine oil far thinner than specification viscosity. This is exacerbated by JLR claims these engines only need an oil change every 15,000+ miles.
      I'm sorry for your loss as I'm sure it has been stressful. Always fully research your vehicle and learn from other peoples horror stories.

      Hi, thank you for watching and for your feedback. It does appear that oil dilution is the cause of failure in this case due to the amount of oil drained. The engine is a Ford / PSA design ( Peugeot / Citroen ) and is fitted too those as well as JLR. Ask Jaguar to itemize their quote because as I understand it they charge an excess of £2,500 , which is returnable on your old unit which implies their engines are rebuilt. They charge approximately £10,000 including VAT for the engine which leaves £8,000 plus the undisclosed amount to fit it according to your quote which seems an excessive amount.

    Nothing wrong with "only" 4 main caps compared to the other V6 diesels around. For example VW Audi V6 TDI are the same, plus there are locking notches for the main bearing. The chains are from the back means engine out every time! However these are known to fail due to bad/worn hydraulic chain tensioners and more smaller issues due to engine design, leaks and of course failing engine peripheries which is very similar across all modern diesel engines. I would not say the TDV6 (SDV6) is a bad engine in first place. Take care of every engine, listen wise people and do your preventative maintenance and it will last.

    Blimey! Only a 100k miles on this engine and yet such a catastrophic wear on the bottom end.
    I’ve heard many people joke about that the 2.7 / 3.0 tdv6 is made off glass but I always thought it was down to the owners…I’m now starting to have second thoughts if I should avoid those engines…. If I am not mistaken JLR were telling their new vehicle users that their very first service is due on the 15K miles. Which me personally I find ridiculous. Brand new engine that’s still bedding and working-in there are some minor particles to be expected in the first oil change as a result of this process yet they are expecting you to have the first service in such a long range…My theory is that people who actually listened to this nonsense advise are the ones who suffer the worst failures of their engines.
    So buying a pre-owned vehicle like this is a pure luck coming down to how sensible was the very first owner of it.

    The problem is high compression + a faulty oil distribution lines design. Same engine is used on Citroen C6 and this don’t happens . To use those compression ratios on LR one must create new paths ( opening holes on the block ) till the middle bearings and course figure out new paths. Also increasing slightly the oil pressure inside the pump is a good move after all is TO MUCH compression for TO FEW bearings with a bad and faulty oil distribution the first and last bearings receive more lubricant than the middle bearings. Using Fusion 360 for that task is of great help. Also you could simply lower your car compression will be slower and have the same power of Citroen C6 but most probably that won’t happen. But I prefer the 1st option + using Fusion 360 is extremely easy near intuitive also you can monetize well by creating improved spare parts and running simulations something that Fusion 360 software also allows one to do.

      Go to the LR Time channel on RUclips. Christian, one of the presenters gives advice about which oil to use and why these engines fail. Spun main bearings are because the two central main bearings share lubrication oil from the same oil gallery pipe, so the oil pressure to them is too low. Whereas the two end main bearings have their own oil galleries. On top of this, the width of the main bearings is quite low and there are only four of them, on a LR, with a high torque engine, that puts lots of stress on them, an inline 6 cylinder would have 7 main bearings, so much lower stress on each one. LR chose the V6 to save space and money as this engine that can go in jaguars, C6 citroens and LRs. A bit of a compromise / penny pinching I'm afraid.

Just to make it clear, this is not across the board, I have seen some with 280,000 miles and still going strong. I recommend 5 to 6,000 mile intervals between oil / filter changes. Reason, the computer alters the timing and amount of fuel injected into the engine to help heat up the DPF to aid regeneration. This fuel finds it's way into the oil sump and dilutes the oil hence shorter intervals for oil changes.

I can't say first hand as I have not been in a Jag when the engine has started to fail but all 4 customers assured me there was no warning until they heard the loud knocking. There are weaknesses in the engines design but I think other factors cause or help to cause the failures, otherwise all the engines would fail instead of the very few that do. My advise if you own one, change the engine oil and filter at 5,000 mile intervals, the reason, the fuel injection timing is altered to help DPF regeneration which can possibly cause diesel fuel to get in and mix with the engine oil resulting in diluting the oil.

I mean, 6 bolts for each main bearing cap - 6???, and the skinniest crankshaft webs I've ever seen - no wonder they break - not to mention the lack of tabs on the shells! Anyway, just home from a 2,200 mile trip to the S of France, taking it to just under 60k on the clock, and all good.

      Hi, thank you for watching and for your feedback. The engine is a Ford-PSA design and uses compacted graphite iron to form the block allowing for weight reduction, increased strength and a shorter block, how much shorter or from what benchmark they fail to state but anyway a shorter block means a shorter crankshaft. It is in fact a 4 bolt mains, the extra 2 side bolts ( through the block ) are to give the thin walled block stability. Yes I agree with you about the missing tabs on the shells, although many say they are only locating tabs and that crush pressure holds the shells in place I would argue that the pressed tabs also give resistance to circular movement, spinning shells was not the norm with tabbed shells in my experience, worn shells and worn / oval cranks yes. The early 2.7 S Type jags ( pre DPF regeneration ) appear very reliable which points to the possibility of the engine oil being diluted in later cars due to the timing of the fuel injection being altered by the computer to assist DPF regeneration by way of hotter exhaust gasses, excess fuel finding it's way into the oil sump. Other factors may come into play but as a safeguard I recommend engine oil / filter changes at 5 t0 6,000 miles.

    Could the engine not be modified? Maybe tap the oil feed hole and green Loctite in a threaded tube that protrudes 1mm or so to prevent the shells from spinning? Asking as a non-engineer.

      Hi, thank you for watching and for your feedback. If you watch my video " Cause revealed " you will see the main reason for the self destruction of these engines but of course there are other factors for engine fails beside the main one I pointed out. As for preventing the shells from spinning, they used to have locating lugs on the shells which fitted into grooves machined into the block, Although I worked on petrol engines at the time, The shells and crank would wear to the point of the mains rumbling and the big ends knocking but the shells would stay in place. Did the lugs make a differance, I would guess yes, others would say no.

    When I started rebuilding engines in the 60s it was unheard of to find an engine without the little lugs in the bearing shells, which made it effectively physically impossible for them to spin, both main and big ends the same (except the sidevalve Fords which had white metal bearings sprayed on to the con rod big ends and no separate shells, crap as Fords were and still are). Why on earth did they stop doing that? I used to think designs were changed to improve efficiency and reliability, not to write engine blocks off!

    This engine is released in the Ford territory in Australia with the 2.7l and their are literally no issues hear with these engines. This type of damage is classically caused by bad drivers flooring the accelerator when the oil is stone cold repeatedly and being a V6 doesn't help. Because the territory is just a average car without a premium image they don't get thrashed, often driven by middle class moms not by rich wankers that think that their 4x4 is a sports car. If you want to know what causes these failures first look at the people that drive them.

  • @123aegis

    You should admit that using any method of lock-in-place for both shells wouldn't have had the same result of spinning in place. In my book, it's a major design flaw. Why doesn't it not pop out for every engine? because even in the CNC era not all bits are equal. It happens when by design there is no room for error and both shells and cap are on their edge of specification. Isn't it funny how things are getting worse over time au contraire with natural expectations?

      Hi, thank you for watching and for your feedback.

  • @julesviolin

    ⚠️My theory for these failures I think is numpties thrashing them from cold.
    If it was a design fault they would all fail.
    I operate aircaft engines and so for example Rotax specify letting the oil temp reach a minimum of 50C before applying full power for take off.
    How many car owners do this?
    For a start we don’t monitor the oil temp in cars.
    I'll give you a rough idea of the time it takes a petrol engine to reach 50C = 12 mins.
    For a diesel it's going to be longer from 15 - 20 mins !!!
    So think about that before you thrash a cold engine folks 😎

      Hi, thank you for watching and for your feedback. The internet highlights what is in fact a very small number of these engines that fail compared to the number that do not. Unless someone can give a definitive causation as to the failure of these engines, then it is all just personal guesswork. Jaguar explain how the Ford PSA designed engine was produced and some of the materials used in their manuals. The cylinder block is cast in compacted graphite iron, which uses less material to produce compared to a conventional cast iron block. This provides reduced weight and length ( they do not explain by how much the length was reduced if at all but a shorter block results in a shorter crankshaft hence the crankshaft could be a weak point ) with superior structural capabilities. The bottom of the block is crossbolted and a ladder frame is bolted to the bottom of the block to give it a very stiff bottom end. It must be taken into account that these engines were designed and fitted in cars before the DPF regeneration system was fitted which alters the fuel injection timing to help heat up the DPF ( my experience of early S Types, pre regeneration, they appear reliable ). There are many factors that could cause the bottom end failure hence I can not give a definitive causation ( diluted engine oil from diesel fuel could be a problem, that's why I recommend 5,000 mile oil and oil filter change intervals as a precaution but the list is long ). Thanks again for watching.

      Hi Artis, Can you put aside your frustration for a moment and explain in a reasonable manner why the vast majority of 2.7 TDV6 engines are trouble free as are the later versions while still running on the oil recommended by JLR. Any oil used other than what is recommended by the manufacturer invalidates any warranty, be it on a new or used vehicle. Fitting a performance chip is fine, removing the EGR and DPF is illegal and an MOT failure. Maybe you are living outside of the UK where this is allowed. @@dakteriitis

    • @dakteriitis
      @dakteriitis 11 месяцев назад

      The manufacturer is not particularly concerned about what happens after the warranty period. Also taking into account the fact that the engine is produced by another company that doesn't care at all. In our case, it has been clear to everyone for a long time that there are problems with lubrication. Loaded engine, high friction. You need oil with good oil film stability. Similar to sports cars ferrari, lambo, bugati, bmw m5 they pour 10w60 synthetics
