Servicing JLR timing chains

Land Rover & Jaguar Timing Chains, Sheffield

The 2.0 Ingenium diesel in your Evoque, Discovery Sport or Jaguar can stretch its timing chain. We replace it with genuine JLR parts, and we change 2.2 and 3.0 diesel timing belts too.

Which job does your engine need?

2.0 Ingenium diesel · timing chain · from £3,000

Evoque, Discovery Sport, Discovery 5, Velar, Range Rover Sport and Defender, and the Jaguar XE, XF, E-Pace and F-Pace with the 2.0 diesel. The chains sit at the back of the engine, so the gearbox comes off to reach them. That is why it is a big job, and why the price starts where it does.

2.2 diesel · cambelt · priced on your registration

Freelander 2, earlier Evoque and Discovery Sport, and the Jaguar XF 2.2d. A belt-driven engine: change it on time and it is routine; leave it and a snapped belt can wreck the engine. We fit quality OE-standard belt kits.

3.0 V6 diesel · timing belts · priced on your registration

Discovery 4, Range Rover Sport, Range Rover and Jaguar 3.0 diesels. These run a main belt at the front and a second belt at the back for the fuel pump. We check both, and fit quality OE-standard kits.

Signs the 2.0 Ingenium chain is stretching

A rattle from the back of the engine, worst on a cold start
Rough idle, misfire or a loss of power that comes and goes
Engine management light on
Debris in the oil at a service

Do not keep driving on a rattle. If the chain jumps a tooth, the valves can hit the pistons, and a chain job becomes an engine. Ring us or send the registration and we will get it in.

Why genuine JLR parts

A chain job means taking the gearbox off. Nobody wants to do that twice. We fit genuine JLR parts on the 2.0 Ingenium chain so the repair is done once, to the factory part.

Why £3,000 is a starting price: most of the cost is labour, getting the gearbox out and back in. The figure moves with the model, the drivetrain and what we find when it is opened up. We confirm the price on your registration before you book, and we agree it with you before we start.

Frequently asked questions

How much is a 2.0 Ingenium timing chain?

From £3,000, with genuine JLR chain parts, an oil and filter change, and all the bolts and gaskets the job needs. We confirm the exact figure on your registration before you book.

Why does the gearbox have to come off?

On the 2.0 Ingenium the timing chains are at the back of the engine, against the gearbox. The gearbox comes out to reach them, which is where most of the time and cost goes.

Can I keep driving with a rattle?

We would not. If a stretched chain jumps a tooth, the valves can hit the pistons, and a chain job becomes an engine.

Do you do the 2.2 and 3.0 diesels?

Yes. Both are timing belt engines. We fit quality OE-standard kits and price them on your registration.

Do you only work on Land Rover and Jaguar?

No, we work on most makes. These are jobs we do regularly, and we sell Land Rovers ourselves.

Do you collect?

Yes. Free collection and drop-off within 10 minutes of the garage.

Excellent service, I had been having problems with my car radio screen for nearly a year, I took it to them and they found the problem straight away and fixed it for me and claimed it on my warranty and I didn’t have to do anything. Also had a service and 2 tyres.They were so helpful, I was very pleased. It feels like I’ve got a new car!

I recently used GT Automotive for a repair through a warranty claim. Matt was very helpful and explained the process. Unfortunately there were some delays for the repair to be done through no fault of the garage but through the warranty company. Matt kept me updated and fought my case for the claim, eventually got the repairs approved and got my car fixed as quick as they could. I've had a hard time in the past finding a garage I can trust, but these are very genuine and I will be using them for all my car needs going forward, and already have my next Service and MOT booked in.
