Common Problems: JAGUAR XF
Known issues reported by owners and MOT testers.
- Sticking Rotary Gear Selector(Moderate)
The gear selector may refuse to rise or become stuck in "Park" due to solder joint failure on the PCB.
- Rear Differential Contamination & Whine(Serious)
Early XF models (up to 2009) were sent from the factory with contaminated differential oil, causing excessive wear to the pinion gear. This leads to the rear drive shafts moving around and damaging the diff seals, producing a distinctive whine or groaning sound.
- Boot Loom Wiring Failure(Moderate)
The wiring loom running into the boot flexes every time the boot is opened and closed, eventually causing the wires to fatigue and break. This disables the rear camera, boot lights, number plate lights and sometimes the rear sensors.
