Jaguar XKR-S Timing Chain Tensioner Issue (AJ133 V8)
XKR-S engines with the 5.0-litre supercharged AJ133 V8 commonly show timing chain tensioner and guide wear - a design flaw that's particularly prevalent on 2012-2014 models. This issue is part of the same class-action lawsuit scope that covers this engine across multiple JLR models. We replace timing chain assemblies, tensioners, guides and the water pump as standard on every AJ133 rebuild.
Source: verified via multiple independent sources (au7o.io, rrsport.co.uk lawsuit list, per VRF-jaguar-xk.md). Applies to all AJ133 applications, including the XKR-S.
Jaguar XKR-SENGINE OPTIONS
Every XKR-S is different. That's why we offer the right solution for your engine, your car and your budget.
REBUILDING YOUR XKR-S ENGINE
Most engine suppliers sell you a used engine of unknown history and hope it matches. We rebuild the engine your XKR-S already has instead - strip it down, pressure-test it, and replace every worn or damaged component (timing chain, tensioners, guides, 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 XKR-S owners choose, and it's the one we'd recommend for most situations.
From £5,500REPLACEMENT XKR-S 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 XKR-S 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 XKR-S ENGINE
The XKR-S is the flagship of the X150-generation XK range, and uses the supercharged 5.0-litre AJ133 V8 - the most powerful variant of Jaguar's third-generation AJ-V8 engine. Fitted to the XKR-S from the model's 2012 introduction through to the end of the X150 generation, the AJ133 in this application is tuned for 550 PS and delivers the kind of performance that puts it firmly in grand-touring territory. The X150-generation XK was discontinued in 2014, but we continue to rebuild and replace engines for every one still on the road.
We continue to rebuild and replace AJ133 engines for every XKR-S on the road.

Jaguar XKR-S ENGINE COMPATIBILITY
The XKR-S uses a high-performance version of the AJ133 engine, unique to the X150 generation. Before we quote or supply anything, we confirm:
Your exact engine code (AJ133)
Your generation (X150)
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 XKR-S quote - it protects you from paying for parts that don't fit your actual car.
