Jaguar Land Rover repair in Novi Sad: 2.0 Ingenium diesel engines

Two cases from our workshop: a Jaguar F-Pace with a damaged timing drive on its 2.0 Ingenium diesel, and a Land Rover Discovery Sport with a stretched chain replaced in time.

Jaguar and Land Rover cars call for a solid knowledge of how they are built — especially when it comes to the Ingenium diesel engine family. At JUST SERVICE we have hands-on experience not just with routine Jaguar Land Rover servicing, but with complex repairs too. Here are two cases from our workshop in Novi Sad.

Jaguar F-Pace: rebuilding the timing drive

One of those cases was a 2017 Jaguar F-Pace with a 2.0 Ingenium diesel engine and a serious timing drive problem.

The repair meant removing the powertrain together with the subframe, separating the gearbox and stripping the engine down.

We then repaired the damaged timing drive, fitted a new timing kit correctly and put the car back together.

The car was brought back to life and returned to daily use.

Land Rover Discovery Sport: a chain replaced in time

The second example is a Land Rover Discovery Sport with the same 2.0 Ingenium diesel. Here the problem was caught earlier: the timing chain had stretched, but the engine had not yet suffered serious damage. We carried out a routine timing kit replacement.

These two cars show exactly what separates a timely repair from a problem that has been left to develop.

Not just engines

Jaguar and Land Rover are not cars we turn away because of their complexity. At JUST SERVICE we work on:

  • Jaguar Land Rover engines
  • 2.0 Ingenium diesel engines
  • timing drives
  • engine and electronics diagnostics
  • automatic transmissions
  • suspension and running gear
  • braking systems
  • cooling systems
  • EGR and other engine systems
  • scheduled maintenance

If you drive a Jaguar F-Pace, Land Rover Discovery Sport, Range Rover Evoque or any other Jaguar Land Rover, bring it in for diagnostics, servicing or repair.

Don't put off a timing drive check

We especially recommend not delaying diagnostics if your Ingenium diesel starts making an unusual noise from the timing drive area. The difference between replacing the chain in time and repairing the engine after it fails can be very substantial.
