2013 XF-RS Timing chain detail required

[bullet24]

Hi members,

I am new here and this is my second post here, other being in the introduction forum.

I have a question around the timing chain in the XF-RS motor that was produced in the 2013 year, yes there is lots of talk and banter on the known issues but what I can not establish is if the XF-RS's have the older error prone timing chain guides, or did it already have the newer style?

Secondly I have heard somewhere that there is/was an upgrade of the chains from 5mm to 6.3mm, which would this vehicle have?

I would like to establish if I need to invest in new guides and chains(kit) or should mine be save for now...

Current mileage on the vehicle is 56 000km's or 35 000 miles and she has an up to date full service history with Jaguar with annual Oil changes.

Thanks in advance for your thoughts on this.

I don't know about 5mm or 6.3mm question, but xfrs should not have this issue as it used the newer engine setup found on the F-type R etc
