Ford AJD-V6/PSA DT17

The Ford AJD-V6/PSA DT17 is a family of V6 and V8 turbodiesel engines developed by Ford of Europe for its then subsidiaries Jaguar and Land Rover and for its then partner PSA Group under the Gemini joint development and production agreement. The project was known as Lion, and the engines are called the AJD-V6 in Jaguar and Land Rover vehicles and the DT17 and DT20 by Citroën and Peugeot. They are clean sheet designs with variable valve timing, twin overhead camshafts, common rail direct injection and a compacted graphite iron block that weighs 202 kg dry. The 2.7 litre V6 and the 3.6 litre V8 were launched in 2004 and 2006, and a 3.0 litre DT20 followed in 2009. The V6 was built at Ford's Dagenham engine plant, and the 4.4 litre V8 variant at the Chihuahua Engine plant in Mexico. The V6 was used across many vehicles, from the Citroën C5 and C6 to the Land Rover Discovery, the Range Rover, several Jaguars, the Ford Territory and the next generation Ford Ranger.
