[QUOTE="Cowabunga, post: 7642714, member: 718"] I won't bother them as I'm sure they won't appreciate me wasting their time. I've done some research and, yes, indeed it is a fairly common and serious issue. This after JLR's claim that "Ingenium will also come to market as one of the most tested and proven Jaguar Land Rover engines ever. Before the first Ingenium engine is sold, it will have already undergone the equivalent of more than eight years of the toughest, most punishing testing that Jaguar Land Rover engineers could devise. These tests include a huge range of integrity and durability testing, including more than 72,000 hours of dyno testing and 2 million of miles of real-world testing to ensure these engines deliver - and continue to deliver." Obviously their testing was rubbish and inadequate or they would have picked up this and the severe oil dilution [by fuel] issues of all but very recent diesel four cylinder Ingenium engines. One has to wonder just what is fundamentally wrong with this company that lets poor quality and unreliable components be built and sold on such a regular ongoing basis. They make superb looking and driving vehicles that are basically proven to consistently be the most unreliable vehicles available at any price point. Not only that but they do not stand by their vehicle's faults. They have no cure except at least halving the oil change interval for the fuel contamination issue and from what I gather they are expecting people to pay for timing chain and even engine replacements that result from it soon after the three year warranty ends. This is all due to faulty materials, workmanship and design by JLR with inadequate pre-launch testing and any reputable company worth its salt, never mind one that likes to have a 'premium' image, would remedy with no questions asked, free of charge. This is not a reputable company that deserves patronage as I have found out over many many years. Disreputable and has not changed its appalling customer service ethos or reliability over many decades of increasingly targeting the premium car sector. [/QUOTE]
