Oz video of the noise and the damaged shafts causing it.
Incorrect tolerance in manufactureNoDiscoSport said:
Poor oil supply
Guessing when they replace dealers are replacing the outer race too? Who knows
Oil system blockage , or even incorrectly assembled oil pumps , or poor quality oil.
Remember roller bearings should not have any movement they are designed for fixed position shafts .
Perhaps a fixed ball would have lasted longer.

This costs money so the problems could be attributed to cost savings and why should JLR care how the customer suffers.

The thing that bugs me after viewing that video a few times , and then looking at the spares list I can only assume the new balance shaft comes with the bearing already fitted to it.Chippy said:
So they are not pressing out and refitting the outer bearing shell.
So any balance shaft replacement with scored bearing rollers is bound to fail as the outer shell will already be scored.
They should all be engine replacements.
Yes it's money , stuff the customer .
However if the do change the shaft and it fails again , under consumer rights law in the UK you can get a replacement vehicle as they have had one attempt at repair and it failed.
Couple that with the fact they have issued a document listing all vehicles affected , it's a known issue , so even after 6 months you can demand a replacement vehicle or refund.

Well well well......there's a turn-up!
Yep, changing half a bearing is never a good idea, which child thought that was ever going to be a fix!Badgerface said:
That brown and blue is overheating , it stinks of a lubrication / ,bearing tolerance, issue. Or perhaps it's just not man enough for the speed or bearing load.
Cheers George for the quick reply.,G30RGE said:
I guess that means new engines with the lack of any other fix in place as per here..

Good decision given the number of unwanted diesel engines there must be lying around.Barnsh said:
... once Balancer shaft whine and Turbocharger whine have been eliminated, this fault should be attributed to Driver whine and charged accordingly. :lol:

Surely that means change the engine once correctly diagnosed?G30RGE said:
