The 2013 launch of the F-Type was a monumental event for Jaguar, returning the brand to its true sports car roots for the first time since the E-Type. Launched initially as a convertible with dramatic styling and a thunderous exhaust note, it was an instant icon.
The 2013 period has 3 more issues than the Jaguar F-Type average across all year periods.
Plastic coolant "crossover" pipes can crack, leading to sudden loss of coolant and potential engine overheating.
Most affected: V6 and V8 models
Beyond the water pump, the network of plastic coolant hoses and pipes throughout the engine bay become brittle from heat cycling. The Y-pipe and throttle cooling pipe are hidden beneath the supercharger and fail without warning. Most specialists recommend replacing all plastic coolant pipes in one job.
Most affected: 3.0 Supercharged V6, 5.0 Supercharged V8
The valves in the exhaust system that create the signature "pop and crackle" can seize in the open or closed position.
Most affected: V6 S, V8 S, R models
The rear differential develops oil leaks from failed pinion seals, which can lead to wear of the diff pinion due to insufficient lubrication. If left untreated for too long, a whining noise develops and a full differential replacement may be required.
Most affected: All models
