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.
- Water Pump Failure (3.0SC & 5.0 V8)(Serious)
The water pumps on 3.0 supercharged V6 and 5.0 V8 engines 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 wear and leak coolant externally.
- 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.
