Hey Damien, I have another 2 on the way in now. But it is really good to get a few pointers from guys that are familiar with them. Cheers mate 🙏

I had one of these cars, but I was told by a local garage that the chain was suspect, so I decided to sell it. I got a little bit confused with your marking of the components, but good job done in the end. It would have been a good idea to change the little plastic bung on the back of the engine if it hadn't been changed as they tend to leak.

Hi Matthew, it is a bit foolhardy of me doing these jobs without the correct locking tools. But I usually try my first one without the locking kit just to achieve or fail. If I fail I will need to purchase them before continuing and if I mark as much as possible I generally achieve the desired result, hence marking as much as possible. I find it teaching me something that I didn’t know beforehand, I have since bought the locking kit and will most likely use it on the next one 😉👍👍

Another job chalked up! Awesome as usual and after watching that I think I'd avoid one of those jags! Thanks for the great vids mate.

Great job peter . these are good engines great power and fuel econmony, many mechanics or grages in the uk won,t touch these engines in LR or anything else. speaking to one guy in uk he said the problem with these was as simple as they used bad rtv sealer on covers which came off and blocked the oil sprayers caused piston to over heat expand crack and szie engine 😬

Lovely hurling Peter - you'll become Mr Ingenium chain, to add to Mr Mazda. :-) They'll need to clone ya. :-) If ye get any customers in with Navarra chassis issues, point them my way - 3 done this week alone, they're starting to be auto-pilot repairs at this stage & because the CVRT crowd are now wary of them, they almost all need an engineers report for the re-test - which every one we've done has passed no issue. Be muchly appreciated & might help some lads out.

There is a bit of work in them alright, but unfortunately most makes and models are like this nowadays 🤷🏼‍♂️🤷🏼‍♂️🤷🏼‍♂️

you're correct someone has replaced the chains previously. The idler you replaced already had the vibration, dampening material added to it that didn't come out until after 2019. unfortunately, you used aftermarket chains that probably didn't meet the new specifications from JLR, that improved the strength so they wouldn't fail again. everything including the fuel injection pump sprocket has been superseded.

@kennedysgarage3281

2 ай бұрын

Hopefully the aftermarket parts are good enough to last 🤞🤞 JLR specifications didn’t work on the original design so who’s to say that the same thing won’t happen with the newer specs. All in all it really is a flimsy set up. I also have a discovery in and the VVT cam pulley assembly bolts just came loose. Is that a common occurrence??

@JustMe-Dude

⁠​​⁠@kennedysgarage3281 yes it was, with a tsb on file. tsb on the injection pump sprocket as well. sprocket was made in China and would split in half. willing to bet the chains were too, and then updated with a harder chain. when you change the VVT sprocket. The mounting bolt must also be replaced.

Wouldn't lads keep the service history somewhere in the car. I write everything down in the manual. The Mazda MD histories are all on line from at least 2010 on. The last yoke I bought came with no history but when I checked the Mazda app there it was all up to date.
