Hey Fellow Owners and Fans!

I have a 2012 Jaguar XK with the 5.0 and about 35,000 miles. In the last couple of weeks, I have heard a rattling sound coming from the top of the engine. At first, I thought it might be my water pump going bad, because I also had to top off my coolant reservoir a couple of weeks back. The tank never went empty, just down about a quart. More on my rattle, I can’t hear it when the car is driving at speed, only hear it at idle when standing outside the car. After researching this on the internet, it seems that it could also be the sound of the timing chain slapping around. The car and I haven’t been in this area long enough to know who is skilled and trustworthy in the diagnosis/repair of Jags. I would appreciate any recommendations and/or experiences with shops in the Columbus Ohio area. I am aware that there is a good dealership presence in the area, but I get the impression that they shy away from older vehicles.

Thanks in advance!

 

In what part of Ohio do you live?
