Frequently Asked Questions
From £5,600 - including fitment, ECU reset, road test, and 12-month warranty. Our pricing reflects the specialized nature of the X204 generation S-TYPE 2.7D V6 Diesel engine, which requires specific expertise in timing chain systems (LR096682) and turbo actuator replacements (LR072310). All work is performed at our Unit A5 Windsor Road, Ramsden Heath, Billericay facility with genuine Jaguar components where necessary.
Yes, with proper maintenance and our specialized rebuild process. The X204 S-TYPE 2.7D V6 Diesel engine is well-suited for business use when equipped with our upgraded timing chain system (LR096682) and genuine turbo actuator (LR072310). We've rebuilt over 130 of these engines since 2017 specifically addressing the common failure points that occur in stop-start urban driving conditions. Our rebuilds include full EGR system cleaning and DPF regeneration protocols tailored to the X204 platform.
Timing chain tensioner failure is the most common issue in the X204 S-TYPE 2.7D V6 Diesel, often caused by oil starvation or using incorrect viscosity oil. Our rebuild process includes installation of the updated tensioner kit (LR096682) with reinforced guides and precision alignment to JLR specifications. We also perform comprehensive metrology on all critical components to ensure <0.05mm tolerances are maintained, preventing premature wear that leads to catastrophic engine failure.
Yes - we use Autologic and JLR SDD diagnostic tools for complete ECU coding specific to the X204 S-TYPE 2.7D V6 Diesel platform. This includes proper adaptation of the updated turbo actuator (LR072310), DPF regeneration protocols, and timing chain system calibration. All coding is performed by our certified technicians at our Billericay workshop to ensure seamless integration with your vehicle's electronics after engine installation.
Our standard turnaround is 5-7 working days for a complete S-TYPE 2.7D V6 Diesel engine rebuild. This includes full disassembly, precision metrology, necessary machining, installation of upgraded components (including LR096682 timing chain kit and LR072310 turbo actuator where needed), and comprehensive validation testing. We prioritize quality over speed, ensuring each X204 engine receives our full 5-step process at our Billericay facility before returning it to you with a 12-month unlimited mileage warranty.
Yes - many believe the 2.7D V6 is inherently unreliable, when in reality most failures stem from neglected maintenance or improper repairs. The X204 S-TYPE 2.7D V6 Diesel engine is robust when properly serviced with the correct oil and equipped with updated components like the LR096682 timing chain kit. At our Billericay workshop, we've demonstrated through 130+ successful rebuilds since 2017 that with our specialized approach addressing the specific weak points of this generation, the engine can provide reliable service for many years with proper care.
