Genuine Part
Genuine: Original manufacturer part. This product is the original part designed and produced by the vehicle manufacturer.
Lower chain guide for the auxiliary drive chain, part of the timing gear assembly on the 5.0L V8 petrol engine (AJ133).

The guide runs against the slack side of the auxiliary drive chain, holding it in line and damping the whip that would otherwise accelerate chain and sprocket wear. Its wear face is a service item and is normally renewed together with the chain and tensioner whenever the timing gear is opened up.

Frequently asked questions

What does the lower chain guide do on a 5.0 V8?
The lower chain guide controls the auxiliary drive chain on the 5.0L V8 petrol (AJ133) engine. It keeps the chain running true and tensioned on its path, reducing slack and wear in the timing and auxiliary drive on the Discovery 4 and Range Rover.
Where is the lower chain guide located on the 5.0 V8?
The lower chain guide sits within the timing gear and auxiliary drive section at the front of the 5.0L V8 petrol engine. It guides the auxiliary drive chain, working alongside the tensioner on the Range Rover, Discovery 4 and New Defender L663.
What happens when the chain guide wears out?
A worn chain guide usually lets the auxiliary drive chain rattle or slap, which can throw a timing-related fault on the 5.0 V8 petrol. Guides are commonly replaced during timing chain work, since a failed guide can lead to chain damage on these engines.
Which engines does this lower chain guide fit?
This lower chain guide fits the 5.0L V8 petrol (AJ133) only, across the Discovery 4, New Defender L663, Range Rover L322, L405, Range Rover Sport L320 and L494, and Velar. It's not for diesel or other engines. Confirm by VIN.
