Jaguar XJ 5.0 V8 Supercharged Oil Leaks & Coolant System Wear (AJ133S I6)
The AJ133S 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 AJ133S V6. We replace timing chains, bearings, water pump and gaskets as standard on every AJ133S rebuild.
Because the XJ 5.0 V8 Supercharged uses a completely different engine family from the V8 M178 fitted to the XJ 63 and GT 63 S, parts and rebuild specifications don't cross over between them.
Source: Established AJ133S specialist pattern — timing chain, bearing and gasket wear across integrated-starter-generator inline-six units.

Jaguar XJ 5.0 V8 SuperchargedENGINE OPTIONS
Every XJ 5.0 V8 Supercharged is different. That's why we offer the right solution for your engine, your car and your budget.
REBUILDING YOUR XJ 5.0 V8 SUPERCHARGED ENGINE
Most engine suppliers sell you a used engine of unknown history and hope it matches. We rebuild the engine your XJ 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 XJ owners choose, and it's the one we'd recommend for most situations.
RECONDITIONED XJ 5.0 V8 SUPERCHARGED 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 XJ 5.0 V8 SUPERCHARGED 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 XJ 5.0 V8 SUPERCHARGED 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 AJ133S.
REPLACEMENT XJ 5.0 V8 SUPERCHARGED 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 XJ 5.0 V8 SUPERCHARGED 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 XJ 5.0 V8 Supercharged ENGINE
