New to the forum as i just purchased my first jag. Shes an S-type v6 year 2000. Thing is tho she has an awful upper chain slap on the drivers side.. Im confident i can do the work, however i can not find the v6 upper chain tensioner ANYWHERE. every link i click says V8- 4.0.

Do the v6 and v8 share the same part? that my only concluson. its driving me mad and any advice will be great help.

im sure with love and patience ill be cruising around town with a big smile on my face like the rest of you jag owners!

thanks in advance - Joseph

Welcome..

NOPE, nothing related between the 2 engines.

The S Type section will probably have the answers.

Good luck.

 

Thanks for the warm welcome guys. Thing is I've already tore through the S-TYPE forums to no avail. Funny thing is I saw a comment mentioning how the replacement ones are also being used in the V8 but I have no real confirmation.

My problem is not the "how to" its the Where the **%&+ do I find the correct part!!???

Hello, Joseph,
Welcome to the forums from ElinorB.

The timing chain assemblies are VIN-specific. Check with the forum sponsors using the Marketplace drop-down menu.

The Duratec V6 is a very robust engine and has not had the secondary timing chain tensioner issues of the early AJ-V8s.

 

I pretty sure this is not a duratech engine but thanks anyways. i will check the vin and search.

 

The AJ-V6 was designed by Jaguar and built by Ford for use in the Lincoln LS. It is a member of the Duratec family of engines.
