2015 Jaguar F-type V-6 S Coupe near Greensboro, NC

New and Used Chevrolet and JAGUAR in Greensboro, NC

2015-jaguar-f-type-v-6-s-coupe

Now that Jaguar’s F-type fleet includes six distinct models, picking one that best suits your fancy can be daunting. The coupes excel in aesthetics and practicality, the convertibles are more fun. Venturing beyond that body-style fork, this test of a V-6 S coupe should assist your smart purchase decision.

The $77,925 S coupe lives at the sensible end of the price range; it is $12,000 more than the base hardtop, $22,000 less than the 550-hp R coupe, and $15,000 less than the most powerful convertible. What you get here is the aluminum-intensive body and chassis common to all F-types, a ZF eight-speed paddle-shifted automatic (a manual is coming soon), and a 3.0-liter supercharged V-6 boosted to 380 horsepower. Spending the extra $12,000 over the base coupe means 40 additional ponies, one-inch-larger (19-inch) wheels, bigger front brakes, cockpit-adjustable dampers, a limited-slip differential, launch control, and what Jaguar calls an Active Sport Exhaust system.

Eurobahn Motorsports is an independent Jaguar Repair Service Center for Greensboro, High Point and Burlington, NC.2015-jaguar-f-type-v6-s-coupe

Jaguar Land Rover New Engines- Greensboro, High Point, Burlington, NC

Jaguar near Greensboro, NC

Ingenium. Sounds like an over-the-counter laxative, is actually Jaguar-Land Rover’s shiny new family of lightweight, turbocharged four-cylinder petrol and diesel engines, details of which have been revealed today.

Due to debut in next year’s 3-Series-rivalling Jag XE (above), Ingenium engines will thereafter be rolled out right across the JLR range.

But what is Ingenium, exactly? Well, like BMW’s ‘B-Series’ engines found in the new Mini, i3 and i8, every Ingenium block will share the same bore, stroke, cylinder spacing and 500cc cylinder capacity.

All shall be based around an aluminium block, saving some 80kg on JLR’s current generation of four-cylinder engines, and all will get direct injection, stop-start and variable valve timing.

The first engine off the line will be the 2.0-litre diesel, dubbed AJ200D, in the XE. No word on power outputs yet, but Jaguar has already said the most frugal XE will emit under 100g/km of CO2. Such efficiency will be aided by massively reduced friction compared to JLR’s current four-cylinder diesel, thanks to clever, slippery technologies that make Top Gear’s face hurt rather.

But there’ll be much, much more to follow. The modular 500cc cylinder capacity, says JLR, gives Ingenium ‘the flexibility around which smaller or larger engines can quickly be developed’. Which means the architecture can be scaled up or down – a three-cylinder 1.5-litre seems a probability, and we’re told even a 3.0-litre straight six is possible, too. All Ingenium engines will be capable of incorporating hybrid technology.

Jaguar says Ingenium engines have already undergone more than 72,000 hours on the dyno, and over two million miles of real-world testing.

Ingenium engines will be built at JLR’s shiny new Engine Manufacturing Centre near Wolverhampton, and will share nothing with the firm’s existing engines.

“We were able to design Ingenium this way because we had the rare opportunity to start the project with a clean sheet of paper,” says Ron Lee, JLR’s director of powertrain engineering. “We weren’t locked into any of the usual restrictions that force engineering compromises.”

JLR plans to built 450,000 Ingenium engines annually. That’s a serious number: last year, the firm shifted 425,000 cars globally.

BMW Recommended Service Intervals- Greensboro, NC

Most people in the Triad area are aware that automotive manufacturers have recommended service intervals. Following recommended service intervals is very important. The engineers that design our vehicles have tested the various systems and components to meet durability and safety standards.

BMW-MINI Mercedes-Benz & Audi Schedule Service Intervals
Schedule Service Intervals

The maintenance schedules are designed to achieve the standards. Think of the benefits of following recommended intervals as falling into three general categories: Protection, Efficiency and Safety.

Protection. Let’s start with motor oil. First of all, the engineers recommend a particular weight and type of motor oil for your sedan. All of their oil change recommendations assume using the proper motor oil. Motor oil contains detergents and other additives that clean the engine and provide corrosion resistance. Over time, the additives are depleted. The oil also becomes contaminated by water, dirt and combustion gases.

Extending your interval beyond the recommendation means that your sedan engine will be operating without the full protection of fresh motor oil. It also means that sludge can form in contaminated oil and clog up passages in the engine, starving parts from needed lubrication.

Efficiency. Some services are designed to keep automotive systems operating efficiently. For example, the fuel system gets clogged up with gum and varnish from the fuel. Fuel doesn’t flow efficiently which reduces fuel economy. A fuel system cleaning restores the fuel system’s efficiency and increases your gas mileage.

Safety. Your brakes are obviously one of the most important safety systems on your sedan. The manufacturer has scheduled brake pad replacement as well as power brake fluid drain and replacement intervals. Because brakes are so important, a brake inspection is also on the schedule to head off problems before they result in an accident.

Check your owner’s manual for recommended service schedules or talk with an Expert service advisor at Eurobahn Motorsports by calling 336-542-3555. You’ll find our shop located at 303 S. Swing Rd, Greensboro North Carolina, 27409.

You may be surprised to learn that various inspections may be on your list of factory recommendations for your sedan. These inspections are usually at major intervals like fifteen or thirty thousand miles. They’re designed to uncover important parts that may be close to failing.

Your sedan owner’s manual can tell you when to change your oil, but it can’t tell you that you have a radiator hose that’s bulging and about to burst. For that you need a trained auto technician. These scheduled inspections are in addition to the multi-point inspections done with a full-service oil change.

Replace Your Wiper Blades- Greensboro, NC

Having a good pair of windshield wipers is extremely important. We’ve all experienced the frustration and fear of not being able to see clearly during a storm, or when our windshield is just dirty.

BMW windshield wiper

It seems like your wiper blades are always at their worst when you need them the most. But windshield wipers are like most other vehicle parts– they require regular attention in order to work their best.

You really ought to replace your wiper blades twice a year; in the spring and the fall. If it’s going to be a particularly harsh winter in Greensboro, you may even want to get special winter blades in the fall. Winter blades are designed to resist freezing.

Speaking of winter and freezing conditions, if your car has been sitting for a long time and the windshield becomes frozen, don’t use your wipers to clear off snow and ice. That’ll just tear up the blades and cause them to wear out more quickly. It may even damage the wiper motor.

Over time, wiper blades become hard and brittle, and then tear. They also lose their flexibility and just don’t cover the windshield effectively.

Worn wiper blades aren’t just a safety hazard; they can also scratch your windshield. That may require replacing the entire windshield; a big cost for such a little part.

Replace worn blades right away. Your local service center can provide you with a quality replacement blade. They cost about the same as they would at the store; but installation is included at Eurobahn Motorsports.

Of course you also need washer fluid to help your blades do their work. Even though your local Greensboro service center will top off the washer fluid with a full service oil change, it is a good idea to have some extra fluid at home, or in the car if you are on a long trip.

Always use windshield washer fluid. Plain water, even that fancy bottled water, may freeze in the fluid reservoir or on the windshield itself, making things worse. Besides, water won’t do a good job of cleaning your windows.

And remember that some vehicles have two reservoirs: one for the windshield and one for the back window – which may be under the hood or somewhere in the back. Schedule A service Today!
