The Jaguar AJV6D 3.0-liter V6 diesel engine has been assembled at the company’s plant since 2009 and is still installed on many well-known models of the British concern, such as the XJ, XF or F-Pace. The same power unit is installed on Land Rover SUVs, but under the symbol 306DT. This motor is a kind of diesel 3.0 HDi.

Disadvantages of the Jaguar AJV6D engine
- Almost all the problems of this diesel engine are somehow related to lubrication pressure;
- In the early years, a weak oil pump was installed, which led to the cranking of the liners;
- Then the pump was changed, but the oil pressure still needs to be closely monitored;
- Also often here the grease oozes through the heat exchanger and the front crankshaft oil seal;
- The weak points of the motor include piezo injectors and a plastic intake manifold.
