#JAGUAR #XF #COMMONPROBLEMS
Well I've had my XF 3.0 diesel for nine years, it's 14 years old now. I had the timing belts done at 100k. But other than a drooping rear window - easily fixed - I've had no bother with it at all. One of the best, most reliable I've owned in my life.
What was the model to be exact your using so i can purchase the same one
Best car I've ever owned
Let’s be honest the first 3 are common in all diesels ! Also the rear belt only runs the fuel pump so doesn’t damage the engine plus look at its German rivals the A6 and the 5 series both suffer chain failures much more expensive don’t get me wrong jags are problematic but no worse than any luxury car in years of working on cars I see more BMW and Mercedes than anything else and we work on all high end brands.
I have the S sportbrake version and I cannot stress enough that the servicing should be roughly every 6-7k miles or every year at most. The intervals are too long on them, also if you don’t drive it often aswell as keeping the DPF healthy keep the battery healthy this can cause a minefield of weird issues.
And for god sakes check the headlamp washer pump for leaks. It wicks water down the main wiring harness into the main fuse box causing a complete failure!
Well said 👏
My favourite fault on the facelifted first generation XF? A leaking windscreen washer pump that allows water to wick all the way to the Central Junction Box, destroying it.
I had my 2015/16 (December 2015) so it is more like the newer ones with the middle vents on top of the radio, and loads of faults but I love it
Should probably mention that one of the most common faults on all of the XF cars is the GPS antenna failure from water ingress into the shark fin. Very easy fix, just replace the shark fin.
My left ear is enjoying this but what about the right one?
LS swap the JAG Problem Solved lol
Funny I've had mine 3 yrs 2013 it's been absolutely perfect touch wood I buy another to mrw amazing
The worst thing that can happend is crankshaft snaping wich is something that almost never happend on german rivals
Just chain keep stretching a little 😂
Not on the 2.2 or the petrol models
This sounds like these things can apply to just about any car. Nothing really Jaguar specific.
I just got a huge crush on this car because of its looks 😩
Would you recommend Jaguar or Genesis?
I’ve never had or driven a Genesis so I would stick with a Jag personally
One of the worst cars I’ve ever worked on , total nightmare, try changing the top wishbone, you have to remove the scuttle panel, then remove the fuse box to move it out the way just to access the wishbone nuts that you can’t reach, then you have to remove the suspension strut so you can remove the bolt, a 3 hour job that should be able todo in 1 hour.
For a driver is a dream but for a mechanic it’s a nightmare 😂😂
Worst fault with mine dpf filter Filling up regularly.
From what I’ve found, don’t use supermarket diesel, use a decent petrol stations diesel also I’d say to use dpf cleaner additive
What if i replace Timing belt with a chain ? From merc if possible
I don’t know if that’s possible
I think these engines are chain driven, not belts,
Would you recommend these instead of similar class audis or mercedes? I just got a crush on this car because of its look😂
To simply answer your question, No! But they are still great cars for the value and definitely cheaper to buy if you find a nice example.
@@ShaaakAR thx for the answer
I can't agree with the answer. The Jag is every day more reliable than an Audi or a mercedes. Automatic Audi has gearbox issues unless bitdi. Merc are bland as hell and suffer from 7g tronic.
If you get the 2.2 diesel you will be very happy with the reliability. The best is the 200 bhp version.
Is it worth it?
Yes
By far the worst car ive ever owned, fault after fault after fault… these are total money pits honestly total piece of crap. Heres a select few of mine,
1. Cat collapsed had to replace
2. Coolant housing leaks
3. Gearbox jerks and jumps randomly
4. Mass air flow failed twice
5. Both abs sensors failed twice
6. Sat nav no longer works
7. All the wheels have severely corroded.
8. I now have a whining noise at 2000rpm.
9. Back door filled up with water
10. Theres a buzzing sound from the rear doors when accelerating.
I could go on and on
TERRIBLE CAR STAY AWAY BUY A TOYOTA LEXUS AUDI ETC…
the parts you have described are mostly made by german suppliers that make the same parts for the german manufacturers. Jaguar do not make cats, the Zf gearbox, mass air flow sensors, abs sensors or the sat nav or wheels. Like most manufacturers they make the basic engine castings, the body/chassis and buy everything else in. They use the same suppliers as BMW mostly.
Was just about to trade in my 530d for one of these, maybe i shouldnt!
If you can find a good example with good maintenance history then don’t be afraid 🙏
Stay away from all jaguars they are money pits, XJ, XF terrible cars, E class Mercedes amazing cars, 8 years ownership even the dpf system is better than jags I drive mostly urban miles, no issues at all
couldnt disagree more, my 2 XF have been fantastic. The issues with DPF are common to most cars, indeed the components come from the same manufacturers. Jaguar do not make these parts
Bullshit. I have had tens of these no issues ever. This video is nonsense too
Have you owned an XJ and XF?
I am in Australia so stay away from diesel V6 petrol is the way to 135 000 ks no problem great drive quite good on fuel
Yeah the subframe of your Mercedes is rotting and a death trap by the way
I want to buy one of these but also looking at a 2014 w204 c180 Mercedes, any advice, it’ll be my first big purchase as a young adult
Play it safe and get an Aygo....
