Spec:

Dynamic Brake Support (DBS)
Standard
Engine Brake (hp) From
518
Engine Configuration
V-Shaped
Engine Model
AJ133 S/C
Engine Number of Cylinders
8

Problems:

Engine misfire
Misfires in V-shaped engines, like the AJ133 S/C, can be due to issues with spark plugs, ignition coils, or fuel injectors.
Oil leaks
V8 engines, such as the one in the 2018 Range Rover Sport, can develop oil leaks from valve cover gaskets, oil pan gaskets, or other seals.
Timing chain problems
The AJ133 S/C engine might experience timing chain stretch or failure, leading to poor engine performance or even severe engine damage.
Supercharger issues
Since the AJ133 is supercharged, problems with the supercharger such as bearing wear or belt issues can adversely affect engine performance.
Cooling system failures
V8 engines can be prone to overheating due to coolant leaks, faulty water pumps, or radiator issues.
Fuel system problems
The fuel system, including pumps and filters, may fail or get clogged, affecting the engine's performance.
Sensor malfunctions
Modern engines rely on various sensors (e.g., oxygen sensors, mass air flow sensors) that can fail and cause drivability issues.
Exhaust problems
Issues with the exhaust system, such as catalytic converter failure or exhaust leaks, can lead to reduced performance and increased emissions.

Spec:

Dynamic Brake Support (DBS)
Standard
Engine Brake (hp) From
575
Engine Configuration
V-Shaped
Engine Model
AJ133 S/C
Engine Number of Cylinders
8

Problems:

Engine misfire
Misfires can be caused by faulty spark plugs, ignition coils, or fuel injectors, leading to poor engine performance and increased emissions.
Oil leaks
Common in high-performance engines like the AJ133 S/C, oil leaks can occur from gaskets, seals, or oil lines, resulting in low oil levels and potential engine damage.
Timing chain issues
V8 engines can experience timing chain wear or tensioner failures, which can lead to poor engine timing and potential catastrophic engine damage if not addressed.
Supercharger problems
The supercharged engine may face issues with the supercharger itself, such as bearing wear or belt slippage, leading to reduced performance.
Cooling system failures
High-performance engines generate a lot of heat, and failures in the cooling system, such as radiator leaks or thermostat malfunctions, can lead to overheating.
Fuel system problems
Issues with the fuel pump, fuel filter, or fuel lines can cause poor fuel delivery, leading to engine stalling or poor performance.
Exhaust system issues
Problems with the exhaust system, including leaks or clogged catalytic converters, can affect engine performance and emissions.
Sensor failures
Modern engines rely on various sensors (e.g., oxygen sensors, mass airflow sensors) to run efficiently. Failures in these sensors can lead to poor engine operation and diagnostic trouble codes.
Transmission problems
Although not part of the engine, transmission issues can often be mistaken for engine problems, especially in vehicles with high torque outputs like the Range Rover Sport.
Electrical issues
Complex electrical systems in modern vehicles can lead to various problems, including engine control module (ECM) failures or wiring issues, affecting engine performance.

Engine Manufacturer
Jaguar
Engine Model
AJ126
Engine Number of Cylinders
6

Problems:

Dynamic brake support (dbs) malfunction
DBS uses sensors to detect potential collisions and automatically applies the brakes. Malfunctions can lead to delayed or insufficient braking assistance.
Coolant leaks
The AJ126 engine has been known to develop coolant leaks, which can cause overheating and engine damage if not addressed.
Timing chain tensioner issues
The timing chain tensioner on the AJ126 engine can wear out, leading to timing chain rattle and potential engine misalignment.
Carbon buildup
Direct injection engines like the AJ126 can accumulate carbon deposits on intake valves, leading to reduced performance and fuel efficiency.
Supercharger noise
The 2018 Range Rover Sport with the AJ126 engine may experience supercharger whine or noise due to worn bearings or issues with the supercharger drive belt.
Oil leaks
The AJ126 engine may develop oil leaks from valve cover gaskets or other seals, leading to oil consumption and potential engine damage.
Turbocharger problems
For variants equipped with a turbocharger, there can be issues with the turbocharger failing, leading to reduced power and potential engine damage.
Electrical issues
The 2018 Range Rover Sport is known for various electrical issues, including problems with the infotainment system, sensors, and wiring harnesses.
Suspension problems
The air suspension system in the Range Rover Sport can fail, leading to a rough ride, uneven ride height, and expensive repairs.
