Is the 2.2 TD4 / SD4 reliable?

This is the 2.2-litre diesel of the Freelander 2, the first Evoque, the 2014-2015 Discovery Sport and the Jaguar XF 2.2D. The sources consulted do not describe it as a problematic engine, but they point to three things: the EGR cooler, the DPF in urban use, and replacing the belt along with the water pump.^[1][2][3]

Is the 2.0 Ingenium diésel reliable?

The 2.0 Ingenium diesel is the four-cylinder diesel engine that Jaguar Land Rover designed from scratch and has fitted since 2015 to the Range Rover Evoque, the Discovery Sport and several Jaguars. Several sources repeatedly document timing chain stretch, balance shaft wear, turbo failures and fuel dilution of the oil, so it is worth checking thoroughly before buying.^[4][5]
