Jaguar S-Type R Replacement Engines
The Jaguar S-Type R (X200) was produced from 2002-2008, featuring high-performance AJ-V8 engines including both naturally aspirated and supercharged variants. The S-Type R was specifically tuned for enhanced performance with the 4.2L V8 supercharged AJ30 engine delivering 400hp. Common failure points in S-Type R engines include supercharger internals, timing chain guides, and oil pump issues in high-mileage examples. The X200 chassis utilized different engine management systems compared to standard S-Type models, requiring specific ECU programming for proper operation. Jaguar Service Bulletin AJ-20-03 addresses supercharger bearing failures in S-Type R models, particularly affecting units from 2004-2006.
Jaguar S-Type R Models & Engines Codes
The S-Type R featured several distinct engine codes throughout its production, each with specific characteristics and known issues relevant to this high-performance variant.
- AJ-V6 (4.0L V8): Base S-Type R engine, known for smooth power delivery in X200 chassis 2002-2008
- AJ27 (4.2L V8): Enhanced naturally aspirated powerplant with improved internals for X200 S-Type R 2002-2008
- AJ30 (4.2L V8 Supercharged): High-performance supercharged unit delivering 400hp for S-Type R X200
