2.2 Diesel Lifespan?
Discussion
The actual engine is very durable, its the same as mondeo and very very similar to Transit, and they do 300,000 miles.
I have had to do the timing chains and tensioner before due to rattles. They have been known to jump a teeth if the tensioner fails completely but not mega common.
BUT !
The aditional parts, such as the high pressure fuel pump the injectors and the electronic EGR valve and electronically controlled Turbo are more prone to failure with milage.
I am looking for a 2.2D estate to replace my wifes 2.0D. I', finding the same as you, I'm happy with up to 100 - 120,000 miles more than that and the rest of the car is falling apart, suspention bushes interiors etc.
I found one that had turbo and egr valve replaced recently as was gonna go for it but I want :- Cruise, heated seats and screens + Nav + premium sound, and the car doesnt have all of those.
So the search continues. Good luck.

Before the 2007 facelift only autos had DPFs fitted unless the first owner specified one. I bought as late a 2.2 Sovereign Estate as I could without DPF and it's a very nice cruiser and general hack with only just over 42,000 miles on the clock. There may be a problem with auxiliary belt tensioners and crank pulleys but that is a fairly minor fix.
The 2.2D is definitely the way to go, much better engine than the 2.0, which is still a decent engine, but the 6 speed box and extra power make a huge difference. I've driven both and owned my 2.2D Sport since June 2010. I've had no major issues with it at all, it was Jaguar serviced for its first 2 years under my ownership and since then I do all the basic servicing and only give it to Jaguar if I cannot do it myself. The car is immense, not only does it look the part but its trusty, reliable and looks expensive. Definitely shop around, there are plenty out there and like any other car not all of them are going to be fault free. At 100k you want to look at replacing the rear aux belt (there is an uprated tensioner which cures excess squeaking and rattling at idle - fit that if not done so already)makes a huge difference, change gearbox oil, clutch and DMF should be checked, make sure clutch doesn't pulse when pressed. These are expensive repairs if they do need doing. Injectors and EGR can last for years and years, mine are fine. I've done 60k trouble free motoring in my Jag and have just clocked 104k. Look after it well and it will go on forever.

There were no diesel autos before the final facelift.
I was obviously misled but when I researched for my purchase I didn't want auto anyway so took less notice of the data. The intention was to avoid a DPF and so I was asking around about which versions had one and otherwise.Gassing Station | Jaguar | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
