#1
![Default](/forum/images/icons/icon1.gif)
Hi,
I've got a noisy timing chain tensioner and possibly vvt sprocket on my xkr v8 2007-ouch!
Jag agent wanting to charge a couple of grand so I was looking at some alternatives. One was doing it myself and I wanted to look through a manual to check out any special tools and procedures.
Can anyone help with one of these?

I just had this done under (extended) warranty. Jaguar first thought that it was the timing chain tensioners, so they replaced them, but the sound didn't go away. So they then replaced the VVT actuators and the problem got fixed.
It took the jaguar mechanic two days to get the VVT actuators back in. So it seems a pretty big job...

You have a different model to Anto.
The Workshop manual for your model is JTIS (Jaguar Technical Information System) which is available as a free download from the forum.
Check the 'stickies' in General Tech Help section for download and installation instructions.

If you want another quote for the work then try XJK at Newcastle under Lyme.
