2017 FP 2.0 D at 120,000 km knocking sound
Car runs fine, no loss of power, brought to JLR Dealer , I told them there is serious engine blow by as I just change the oil , plus the oil turns black like tar after two weeks of changing the oil with their specified and bought from dealership oil …they charged me three hours to diagnose, They said timing chain job needed $13000 CDN
I RELUCTANTLY PAID $10,000(Discount given)
10,000 km later, engine stalled on freeway,
Had it towed to same dealership, they told me their master technician which was schooled in the UK Will look at it
The next day they called me and told me there is no charge for the diagnostics. Our master technician found the problem immediately!
The battery and starter cable running from the rear battery on the outside of the car underneath was completely corroded and needs to be changed $2000
I said go ahead
One month later, they called me this morning. They told me we changed the cables, but your engine is seized!
I said, according to your master technician, he found the problem immediately It was the battery cables?
It takes five minutes to check if an engine or motor is seized
No, the car is worth $30,000 but they want another $40,000 for a new motor
Oil pump failure, they determined
This car has a fuel cut off if low oil pressure is detected, therefore would and should have
Stalled to avoid catastrophic engine failure.
I think a class action is warranted.
Basically, when they told me timing chain, it was the oil pump that was making the Noise
