Hello,
I'm looking at a 2001 XK8 vin number SAJDA42CX1NA11948. Can anyone tell me if this was made after the nikasil and timing chain problem? The vehicle has 32,000 miles.

The engine vin is a date and time stamp as to when the engine was made. There's a known date when they switched tensioners. As the engine build was before the actual building time of the car, the car vin is not reliable to determine a tensioners issue (unless you are way out of the range of the switch over)
