Hi all, hope all is well :~)
I bought a 2005 Jaguar S type 2 weeks ago as a none runner It has 80000 miles and a full jag service history.
The car had no power it felt like it was in limp mode.
You could hear the n/s turbo had a slight worn bearing noise when you back off the throttle.
The DPF filter was blocked/When you put your hand over both exhuasts there was hardly any pressure there.
So i heated the DPF and put the car on ramps , loads of grey ash came out of the back when i reved it
BUT about 20 mins later all of a sudden there was a tapping noise from the right-bank cam area. It started then stopped and then came back. I check the oil and that was 3/4 between min &max
So i check the filter and found some very small shiney bits of metal and the oil had a shiney gleam to it.
I was thinking could this be a result of turbo bearings going?
When i drained the engine oil it was black and looked ok.
I wanted to get the sump off so i could have a look at the big/little-end bearings but when i unbolted the sump i could not remove it as the oil pickup is stopping it. There is so little space as the crossmember/subframe gets in the way. Does anyone have any ideas?
All the best and take care Marc

 

Donot think the turbo caused the particles as there is quite a long air inlet track from turbo to engine.

So most likely engine damage, but that makes sense as it was put on sale as a non runner, otherwise the owner would have had it fixed.

Why did you buy a nonrunner in the first place?

 

marc, unfortunately, there are not alot of threads here that deal with the diesel motor, they were not an option to the North American market.

As far as getting the sump pan off, I had removed a couple from underneath the vehicle a 2003 and 2005 both V6 3.0s. On the 3.0's I unbolted the 2 motor mounts and jacked the vehicles up at the bellhousing until the back of the motor touched the firewall. From there I had just enough room to wiggle the sumps out.

Hope this helps.

 

Hi Jochem :~) i bought a non runner because it was very very cheap and was worth more in parts :~)
If the turbo bearings go as the turbo has a flow and return oil line which lubricate the bearings. If the bearing has damage the bits will go back to the sump and be suck up to the oil filter :~)
Hello Rick :~) thanks i will try that out an see what happens :~)
All the best Marc :~)
