I am so nervous here. I was driving on the highway and noticed the car felt sluggish. As soon as I get off I take a turn and start heading some dramatic ticking and metallic clanging.

Video with sound is here: https://v.redd.it/75fyl13vcd1b1

it only has 32,000km so around 20k miles. Oil levels were ok on thrusday. Any thoughts on what it could be? So worried I get a warranty rejection from Jaguarm. The appointment is tomorrow morning

 

I’d take a quick peek under the hood to be sure both belts are still intact.

 

Don't Canadian cars get the same 5 year/ 60K warranty as in USA?
I would get it towed (Jaguar Elite Care??) directly to the JLR dealer.

 

We do, but coincidentally it happened about 200 yards from the dealership so I just parked it there. Fingers crossed.

 

That was lucky!!
Can't see why you would be concerned about them not honouring (Canadian) the warranty.
Hope it gets sorted quickly and easily.

 

Please loop back once your dealer gets the issue diagnosed. I still have much to learn on this vehicle.

 

Will do. My Buddy says it’s top end maybe lifters or rod or slipped a tooth on timing belt

 

A lot of manufacturers dont honor a warranty of a car titled in another County

 

I'm in Canada with a Canadian Warranty.

 

Have them check the Supercharger cupler.or torsion isolator. Same thing.

 

Quick update - supercharger belt is shredded. Phew

 

DJS wins the Interwebz today, his was the first response and he said, quote: "I’d take a quick peek under the hood to be sure both belts are still intact."

 

If you post 5800 times, chances are, you’ll be right occasionally. Glad it’s something simple for the OP, assuming the shredded belt didn’t do any damage.

 

You win again - that's what the mechanic just said...they will inspect whether the belt did any damage

 

Why would the belt fail on 2020MY with only 20K miles?
Poor quality belt or some more problematic underlying cause?

 

Apparently the thermostat was leaking which did damage to the belt. Serpentine belt also needs to get replaced BC of this. Call covered under warranty phew

 

OP, I'm happy you are fully covered. There seems to be way too many engine issues with these cars. Why should the thermostat be leaking in a 2020 car?

 

To be fair I often take part in spirited drives, but I agree. Apparently the engine is rock solid though.

 

I also shredded an SC belt twice. Both times I over revved the motor and the belt jumped a rib when it went into limp mode. Belt did not completely tear up but started to slap the **** out of the engine compartment. Don’t know if my larger crank pulley contributed to this or not.

 

Actually, there are very few engine issues with these cars…if you want to read about “too many” or “too serious” engine issues, a check of the the BMW and Mercedes forums can provide a different perspective.. What these engines do indeed have is an issue with the original plastic coolant pipes (and that is not limited to Jaguars these days), failing fuel injectors (also common on other engines) and 02 sensors (but these carry a 15 year warranty with Jaguar). But we have to remember that the forums, almost by definition, gather messages from owners who have experienced a problem. The majority of owners, those who have no issues, rarely post.

A leaking water pump causing the problem …well, on the particular engine in question there have been a few modifications made. Is there a possibility that in the course of installing or using the modifications to their full potential (trying to be cautious here) the water pump may have been affected in some way?
