Jaguar F-Type R Oil Leaks & Coolant System Wear (AJ133 I6)
The AJ133 is a sophisticated 3.0-litre inline-six with an integrated starter-generator and electric auxiliary compressor — a more modern and efficient design than the older AJ133 V6. We replace timing chains, bearings, water pump and gaskets as standard on every AJ133 rebuild.
Because the F-Type R uses a completely different engine family from the V8 M178 fitted to the F-Type 63 and GT 63 S, parts and rebuild specifications don't cross over between them.
Source: Established AJ133 specialist pattern — timing chain, bearing and gasket wear across integrated-starter-generator inline-six units.

Jaguar F-Type RENGINE OPTIONS
Every F-Type R is different. That's why we offer the right solution for your engine, your car and your budget.
REBUILDING YOUR F-TYPE R ENGINE
Most engine suppliers sell you a used engine of unknown history and hope it matches. We rebuild the engine your F-Type R already has instead — strip it down, pressure-test it, and replace every worn or damaged component (timing chain, tensioners, guides and water pump) with updated OEM parts. You get a near-new engine with a 12-month unlimited-mileage warranty, without the compatibility risk of an unknown used unit. This is the option most F-Type R owners choose, and it's the one we'd recommend for most situations.
RECONDITIONED F-TYPE R ENGINES
"Reconditioned" is the term many owners search for when they mean the same thing as a rebuild — a full strip-down, inspection, and replacement of worn parts rather than a straight swap. If that's what you're after, our rebuild service is exactly that.
REFURBISHED F-TYPE R ENGINES
Similarly, "refurbished" often describes the same process from a different angle — restoring your existing engine to full working condition rather than replacing it outright. Our rebuild covers this.
REMANUFACTURED F-TYPE R ENGINES
Some owners specifically search for a "remanufactured" engine, expecting a unit rebuilt to original specification with updated components. That's consistent with what our rebuild service delivers on the AJ133.
REPLACEMENT F-TYPE R ENGINES
If your existing engine is beyond economical repair, we also offer full engine replacement and fitting — sourced and fitted by our team, with the same 12-month warranty.
USED F-TYPE R ENGINES
In some cases, a matched low-mileage used engine is the right call — particularly if you need your car back on the road quickly and your existing engine's damage is extensive. We can source and fit these too, though most owners who ask about used engines end up choosing a rebuild once they understand the compatibility risk a used unit carries. Enter your reg below and we'll talk you through both options honestly.

ABOUT THE Jaguar F-Type R ENGINE

The F-Type R uses the AJ133 — a 5.0-litre supercharged V8 that's been the top performance engine in Jaguar's line-up for years. It was fitted from 2013 to 2024 across the X152 generation, though the earlier 2012–2014 cars are the ones covered by the US class-action lawsuit over timing chain tensioner and guide wear. Later cars share the same engine code but received updated tensioner and guide components, so the lawsuit-scoped claim is specifically limited to the earlier build years — though we always inspect the full timing assembly on every AJ133 rebuild regardless of the car's age.
We continue to rebuild and replace AJ133 engines for every F-Type R on the road.
Jaguar F-Type R ENGINE CODES
A 5.0-litre supercharged V8 fitted to the F-Type R from 2013 to 2024 (X152). Known for timing chain tensioner and guide wear on 2012–2014 models — see the callout above. We replace the timing chain, tensioners, guides and water pump as standard on every AJ133 rebuild. Check Your AJ133 F-Type R → [link to quote form]
Check Your AJ133 F-Type RJaguar F-Type R ENGINE COMPATIBILITY

The F-Type R uses the AJ133 supercharged V8 across its entire production run, but there's a parts-revision split between early and late cars. Pre-2015 cars have the earlier tensioner and guide design that's prone to wear — the same units covered by the US class-action. From 2015 onward, the engine received updated components. Before we quote or supply anything, we confirm:
Your exact build year (2013–2014 vs 2015–2024)
Your chassis (X152)
Drivetrain and ancillary specification
Any electronics or ECU considerations specific to your exact build
This is why we always start with your registration rather than a generic F-Type quote — it protects you from paying for parts that don't fit your actual car.
