Disadvantages of the Jaguar AJ34S engine

  • The aluminum motor is very afraid of overheating, so keep the radiator clean;
  • VVT phase regulators have a limited resource, sometimes less than 100,000 km;
  • The crankcase ventilation valve clogs quickly, which immediately leads to high oil consumption;
  • Periodic cleaning is required here for the throttle assembly and fuel injectors;
  • At high mileage, antifreeze leaks often occur due to burst pipes.
