We've identified 4 known issues that can affect the 2017–2020 Jaguar F-Pace. 3 of these are serious faults that could be expensive to repair.
Premature turbo failure is common on the 2.0L diesel, often caused by the same oil dilution issue that affects the timing chain.
High-pitched whining or "police siren" noise, Loss of power, Excessive smoke from exhaust
The 2.0 diesel Ingenium engine in the F-Pace is prone to timing chain stretch and failure, the same issue affecting the XE, XF and E-Pace. Oil dilution from interrupted DPF regenerations combined with weak chain guides cause premature wear. If the chain snaps, it destroys the engine.
Metallic rattling noise on cold start, Restricted performance message, Engine warning light (P0016), Engine misfires or goes into limp mode
The water pumps on 3.0 supercharged V6 and 5.0 V8 F-Pace models are prone to premature failure, sometimes lasting less than 20,000 miles. Coolant enters the bearing housing and corrodes it, causing the impeller shaft seal to leak. The small coolant pipe connecting to the pump also has fragile plastic connectors that break on removal.
Low coolant warning light, Sweet smell of coolant from engine bay, Visible coolant residue around water pump pulley, Overheating in traffic
The InControl Touch Pro infotainment system in early F-Pace models freezes, reboots mid-drive, or becomes unresponsive to touch input. The system uses an underpowered processor that struggles with navigation and media simultaneously, especially in warm weather.
Touchscreen unresponsive to input, System reboots while driving, Bluetooth audio cutting out, Navigation freezing mid-route
