Hi all:

Does anyone here know if the UK-spec X-Type 2.0L V6 is a Duratec derivative?

Here's the blurb:

OVERVIEW

NEW JAGUAR X-TYPE 2 LITRE V6: DYNAMIC AND EVEN MORE AFFORDABLE

A new 2 litre V6 engine, Jaguar style, agility and performance, and a price tag of under £20,000 on-the-road - just some of the attributes of the 2 litre X-TYPE which goes on sale in March 2002. Aimed at business and private buyers alike, the Jaguar X-TYPE 2 litre V6 blends craftsmanship and technological innovation with highly affordable cost of ownership.

The X-TYPE 2 litre V6 range comprises three models: the entry-level 2 litre V6 priced at £19,995; the 2 litre Sport at £22,245; and the luxurious 2 litre SE at £22,995 (all prices on-the-road). The new 2 litre models, which share the sporting character, high feature specifications and practical strengths of their 2.5 and 3 litre X-TYPE stablemates, feature a sophisticated 24-valve, four-cam 2 litre Jaguar AJ-V6 engine. The new 2 litre V6, with a capacity of 2.1 litres, develops 157 bhp and delivers spirited performance, competitive fuel economy and low emissions.

Thanks!

PS - I know i could go to the Jag board and ask but I like this one better!

I would ASSume that it is a destroked version of the current 2.5L Duratec derived Jag motor. I don't see any other V6 engine families that they could have derived a 2L V6 out of...

Not exactly helpful, but I haven't run across any info that's more specific than what you've already got.
