Hi.

What are the ingenium engines like for reliability ?

Are their crankshafts ok?

Pondering a Jag XE petrol

I guess they must be ok then


or have they only just been fitted to RR ?

I guess I'm in the wrong place though

I’ve never owned one but looking at some of the forums the diesel have chronic Adblu thirst but very few petrols seem to come on the market 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it

Oh course they are recalling some aren’t they.

These engines have a problem with oil dilution. Common fault that needs a software update. Joe

thanks..
does that include petrol's

No, it's a problem with the diesel engines (euro6) trying to be more environmentally friendly by adding more fuel at a certain time of the combustion cycle to generate more heat in the exhaust to burn the particulates in the DPF. The problem is that some of the extra fuel is going past the piston rings into the sump and mixing with the engine oil. Diesel fuel will dilute the effectiveness of the oil and therefore give an increase in engine wear.

There are more topics on this. A quick google will help. Joe

VW are apparently equipping petrol engines with particulate filters. I suspect all manufacturers will do the same.
Unless they have learned from the problems associated with DPF fitment to engines never designed for them (hence the oil dilution as above), it will be another nail in the coffin of the internal combustion engine for personal vehicles.

I believe that BMW has been fitting them to all petrol engined Minis (and possibly to their own marque petrol engine cars) since July last year. My 1.5 3 cylinder turbo petrol doesn’t have one as it was built at the end of May last year so built in time to avoid a further reduction in engine efficiency. 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it
