Jaguar X-Type V6 Ignition Coil Degradation (AJ30)
If your X-Type 3.0 V6 has the AJ30 petrol V6 - across the entire X400 generation from 2001 to 2009 - coil-on-plug ignition coil degradation is a well-documented pattern on this engine, often accelerated by oil contamination from leaking valve cover gaskets. We replace ignition coils, valve cover gaskets, timing chain components and bearings as standard on every AJ30 rebuild.
Source: verified via multiple independent sources (CarChecker.pro, TrueDelta, per G-BRF and VRF). Applies to all V6 displacements (2.0, 2.1, 2.5, 3.0) - 2.0d diesel excluded from this claim per VRF.
Jaguar X-Type 3.0 V6ENGINE OPTIONS
Every X-Type 3.0 V6 is different. That's why we offer the right solution for your engine, your car and your budget.
REBUILDING YOUR X-TYPE 3.0 V6 ENGINE
Most engine suppliers sell you a used engine of unknown history and hope it matches. We rebuild the engine your X-Type 3.0 V6 already has instead - strip it down, pressure-test it, and replace every worn or damaged component (ignition coils, valve cover gaskets, timing chain components and bearings) 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 X-Type owners choose, and it's the one we'd recommend for most situations.
From £2,600RECONDITIONED X-TYPE 3.0 V6 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.
Learn moreREFURBISHED X-TYPE 3.0 V6 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.
Learn moreREMANUFACTURED X-TYPE 3.0 V6 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 AJ30 V6.
Learn moreREPLACEMENT X-TYPE 3.0 V6 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.
Learn moreUSED X-TYPE 3.0 V6 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 X-Type 3.0 V6 ENGINE

The X-Type 3.0 V6 uses the AJ30 - a 3.0-litre petrol V6, part of the AJ-series engine family developed with Ford and derived from the Duratec V6. It was fitted from 2001 to 2009 across the entire X400 generation, making it the flagship petrol engine in the X-Type range. The AJ30 shares its fundamental architecture with the 2.0 and 2.5 V6 variants, so the known ignition coil degradation pattern applies across all three displacements.
The X-Type 3.0 V6 is no longer in production, but we continue to rebuild and replace engines for every one still on the road.
Jaguar X-Type 3.0 V6 ENGINE CODES

A 3.0-litre V6 petrol fitted to the X-Type 3.0 V6 from 2001 to 2009 (X400). Known for coil-on-plug ignition coil degradation, often accelerated by leaking valve cover gaskets - see the callout above. We replace ignition coils, valve cover gaskets, timing chain components and bearings as standard on every AJ30 rebuild.
Check Your AJ30 X-Type 3.0 V6Jaguar X-Type 3.0 V6 ENGINE COMPATIBILITY

The AJ30 shares its architecture with the rest of the X-Type V6 range, but the 3.0-litre displacement means different internal components, mapping and ancillaries compared to the 2.0 or 2.5 V6 variants. Before we quote or supply anything, we confirm:
Your exact engine code (AJ30) via registration or VIN
Your generation (X400 - the only generation for X-Type)
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 X-Type quote - it protects you from paying for parts that don't fit your actual car.
