Jaguar XJ Super V8 Oil Leaks & Coolant System Wear (AJ-V8 supercharged I6)

The AJ-V8 supercharged 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 AJ-V8 supercharged V6. We replace timing chains, bearings, water pump and gaskets as standard on every AJ-V8 supercharged rebuild.

Because the XJ Super V8 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 AJ-V8 supercharged specialist pattern — timing chain, bearing and gasket wear across integrated-starter-generator inline-six units.

Jaguar XJ Super V8ENGINE OPTIONS

Every XJ Super V8 is different. That's why we offer the right solution for your engine, your car and your budget.

01MOST POPULAR

REBUILDING YOUR XJ SUPER V8 ENGINE

Most engine suppliers sell you a used engine of unknown history and hope it matches. We rebuild the engine your XJ Super V8 already has instead — strip it down, pressure-test it, and replace every worn or damaged component 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 Super V8 owners choose, and it's the one we'd recommend for most situations.

02

RECONDITIONED XJ SUPER V8 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.

03

REFURBISHED XJ SUPER V8 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.

04

REMANUFACTURED XJ SUPER V8 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.

05

REPLACEMENT XJ SUPER V8 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.

06

USED XJ SUPER V8 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.

NOT SURE WHICH OPTION IS RIGHT FOR YOU?

Enter your registration below and we'll confirm your AJ-V8 supercharged and talk you through the best solution for your XJ Super V8, honestly.

ABOUT THE Jaguar XJ Super V8 ENGINE

Jaguar AMG GT 53 engine and sedan

The XJ Super V8 was the flagship petrol model of the X350 generation, produced from 2002 to 2009. It used the supercharged 4.0-litre AJ-V8 — the same engine family that powered the XJR of the same era, tuned for the XJ's more refined character. The X350 was the first XJ to use an aluminium monocoque chassis, significantly lighter than previous steel-bodied XJs. The XJ Super V8 is no longer in production, but we continue to rebuild and replace engines for every one still on the road. About the AJ-V8 Supercharged Engine AJ-V8 supercharged (X350) A 4.0-litre supercharged V8 fitted to the XJ Super V8 across the entire X350 generation (2002–2009).
