28-09-2017:
On Jaguar XF 2016 build Service Indicator Message not Displaying (Campaigns H007 / N010 / N020). SIM message not displaying. The issue lies with an incompatibility between the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) and the Instrument Cluster during certain starting conditions. The Instrument Cluster reads the service interval to judge if a message should be displayed at the point where Power mode changes to crank or engine running. Whilst ignition is in accessory mode, the PCM can return to sleep mode. It will then be re-awoken when cranking is requested and at that point will send out an initial value for mileage to service of 32,000km meaning the message will not appear.

Report of TSB recall in December 2017 over "possible safety related problem" to modify infotainment software of September 2017 Jaguar XF Si4 250 Portfolio. Unfortunately, much delayed recall work on 19th February 2018 failed and resulted in no phone or wifi connection, and no radio and audio entertainment or reliable satnav, plus a number of minor non-functioning items. Dealer had to wait for a further satnav upgrade and had 20 other cars waiting for it. This came through on 2nd March 2018, tested positive on several XFs in dealer stock, but dealer cannot supply a courtesy car until 29th March.

Complaint of "clunky" 8-speed automatic transmission in new Jaguar XE 2.0 Ingenium petrol model. (Owner already has previous model XF 3.0D Sportbrake 8-speed auto with which he is very happy.) Jaguar dealer remapped the engine and owner was told he needs to drive 500 miles for the transmission to "learn" his driving style. (Other reports of same thing with recent XEs. See for XE: 25-7-2018: Report that hesitation from ZF 8-speed automatic transmissions of Jaguar XEs can be cured by an adjustment or eprogramming of the accelerator pedal potentiometer. That's where the problem lies.)

Report of October 2017 Jaguar XF requiring replacement rear brake discs and pads at 11,400 miles because pad wear was down to 3mm and the discs were pitted, whereas the front discs were okay with 10mm remaining on the pads.

Happily JLR agreed to replace the discs and pads etc at their cost.

14-12-2019:
Warning about aftermarket space saver spares for the XF X250. On purchasing the car, owner did not opt to buy a Jaguar 'space saver' for £400 but bought one on-line for approx £140. On a longish trip recently it needed the spacesaver wheel to be fitted on the rear nearside. Over the next 30 miles, it shut the car down. Over the next hour or two, the dashboard instrumentation and information cumulatively ceased to operate starting with both speedometers. The failures gradually extended to much of the rest of the electronic dashboard. On reaching a friend's house, owner stopped the car and got out. On returning to the car, he discovered it had locked itself and the electronic key would not open the doors or boot. Car was transported back to local garage. They found that the shut-down and eventual lock-out was because the battery had been drained and this was triggered by the rear nearside wheel being linked into the electronics to measure speed, tyre pressures, and other functions. They replaced the proper road tyre, re-installed the electronics package, charged the battery, and weeks later all still seems to be well, but their warning was to get to a tyre repair/replace establishment directly without delay after fitting the spacesaver.
April 2015
New Jaguar XF unveiled
On sale with prices from £32,300 for the 164PS Ingenium engined 2.0 litre diesel. This managed 71.7mpg in the ECDC tests and emits 104g/km CO2 with 6-speed manual transmission. First UK deliveries September 2015.
An eight-speed transmission is also available, for an additional £1,750, although economy drops 68.9mpg.
4,954mm long x 1,457mm high. Wheelbase 2,960mm. 24mm more rear legroom than previous XF.
Available in four trims - Prestige, R-Sport, Portfolio and S –the rear-wheel drive XF is initially offered with economical British-built 2.0-litre Ingenium diesel engines with 163PS or 180PS.
The entry-level 163PS engine offers 380Nm of torque from 1,750rpm. An uprated 2.0 Ingenium diesel engine is available with 180PS and 430Nm of torque from £32,800. ECDC economy drops to 65.7mpg as a result, while CO2 emissions rise to 114g/km. Like the 163PS unit, the 180PS engine can be mated to a six-speed manual or eight-speed automatic ‘box.
For £49,950, the 2015 Jaguar XF can be specified with a 3.0-litre V6 twin-turbo diesel with 300PS and 700Nm of torque, fed through an eight-speed automatic gearbox. The high powered diesel also gets improved suspension and brakes, while ECDC economy is 51.4mpg and 144g/km of CO2.
The F-Type’s 380PS 3.0-litre V6 supercharged petrol unit is also available for £49,950, with the same sports set-up and 450Nm of torque. The petrol is also the least efficient engine in the XF range though, returning 34.0mpg combined in the ECDC tests and emitting 198g/km of CO2.
The XF uses the same double-wishbone front suspension as the F-Type, with aluminium suspension at the back, which should make it sharper to drive with more grip and reduced body roll in the corners. Like the XE and F-Type Coupe, the XF uses an aluminium construction and weighs a considerable 190kg less than the old XF (base model 2.0 diesel 1,545kg).
The exterior takes a number of styling cues from the Jaguar XE, with a square front, prominent air intakes, enlarged grille and an aggressive wraparound bonnet. However, the XF retains its sleek headlights and coupe-like design, while the rear of the car is uses the traditional XF shape, using a similar sloping tailgate and angular rear light clusters.
The second-generation XF is 7mm shorter than the old model, but bigger inside with a 51mm gain in wheelbase length. Boot space in now 540 litres, while interior improvements more head and leg room all-round, along with an-new 10.2-inch touchscreen infotainment system, revised smartphone connectivity and text-to-voice technology, which helps to reduce driver distraction by reading out incoming SMS messages. Range topping models also get a 12.3-inch TFT instrument cluster features four visual themes and full-screen navigation display.

Jaguar XF gets AWD option
The all-wheel drive system has been developed in-house by Jaguar and is identical to the one found in the F-Type AWD, with torque being delivered to the front axle when loss of grip is detected.
All XF AWD models get Land Rover's Adaptive Surface Response (AdSR) technology as standard, allowing the driver to optimise the throttle, automatic transmission and traction control to cope with everything from light rain to heavy snow.
The AWD system is available with just one four-cylinder engine - 180PS Ingenium diesel - linked to an eight-speed automatic 'box. Claimed economy will be a respectable 57.7mpg and 129g/km of CO2. AWD diesels will also achieve 0-60mph in 7.9 seconds.
June 2017

Jaguar XF updated with 300 Sport trim, Amazon Alexa and what3words integration
Offered exclusively with the Ingenium four-cylinder petrol engine and all-wheel drive with Intelligent Driveline Dynamics, the Jaguar XF 300 Sport is distinguished by its Black Pack, Gloss Black contrast roof and privacy glass.
Customers can also specify a sliding panoramic roof on the XF 300 Sport saloon.
The XF 300 Sport Saloon features 20-inch wheels: ‘Style 5107’. The distinctive five split-spoke design is available in two finishes: Gloss Silver with Gloss Black inserts is offered as standard, while the optional Satin Black with Gloss Black inserts delivers even more visual appeal.
It can be specified in the full range of solid and metallic colours, including a choice of two premium metallic paints – Carpathian Grey and Silicon Silver. Highlights of the interior includes Satin Charcoal Ash veneers, metal gearshift paddles and bright metal pedals.
All Jaguar XF 300 Sport models feature double wishbone front- and Integral Link rear suspension systems, enhanced by Adaptive Dynamics: it continuously adjusts damping forces to deliver an optimum balance of comfort and agility. Configurable Dynamics enables customers to tailor steering, suspension and powertrain settings to their individual taste.
The four-cylinder Ingenium petrol engine generates 300PS and 400Nm of torque. Together with all-wheel drive with Intelligent driveline Dynamics, it delivers outstanding performance and traction in all conditions. This enables the XF Saloon to cover 0-62mph in 6.1 seconds. Maximum speed is 155mph.
2023 Model Year XE and XF powertrains
The XF model range also offers the four-cylinder Ingenium diesel mild hybrid (MHEV) engine, with a choice of rear- or all-wheel drive. This 204PS unit develops 430Nm of torque, with refinement and responsiveness enhanced by the MHEV system. The Belt integrated Starter Generator (BiSG) recuperates energy usually lost during braking or deceleration by storing it in a compact 48-volt lithium-ion battery: this energy is redeployed to assist the engine when accelerating away. It also makes the stop-start function quieter and faster than conventional systems.
This engine is the most economical in the XF model range and enables the rear-wheel drive XF to deliver fuel economy of up to 57.6.mpg and 129g/km.
Customers can also choose the 250PS four-cylinder Ingenium petrol. Offered exclusively with rear-wheel drive, this refined engine develops maximum torque of 365Nm from 1,300-4,500rpm, delivering excellent driveability and strong performance. With this powertrain the XF Saloon can accelerate from 0-62mph in 6.7 seconds.
Ask Alexa
The new XF 300 Sport – like all models in the range – comes with Amazon Alexa. Seamlessly integrated, it brings the familiar Alexa experience into the vehicles and provides natural voice interaction with the Pivi Pro infotainment system’s features including navigation, music, podcasts and audiobooks, calls and compatible smart devices.
Requests such as ‘Alexa, navigate me home’, ‘Alexa, play my chill-out playlist’ and ‘Alexa show me nearby coffee shops’ can all be made by voice. You can also check news, weather, and manage your schedule or shopping list – just by asking. Alexa lives in the cloud and is always getting smarter, with new features and updates continually being added and delivered automatically.
The Alexa voice experience is intuitive to use, making it easy for customers to operate keeping their hands on the wheel and eyes on the road. Alexa even makes it possible to control compatible smart home features such as heating and lighting from the comfort of
XE or XF’s luxurious interiors. Just ask: ‘Alexa, set the living room temperature to 20 degrees’, for example.
Existing owners of XF models with Pivi Pro are among more than 55,000 Jaguar customers to have been offered Alexa in a software-over-the-air update.
Customers in the UK will also be able to control and check on their car from anywhere using the Jaguar Remote Skill on any Alexa-enabled device4. ‘Alexa, ask Jaguar if my doors are locked’ or ‘Alexa, Ask Jaguar if my windows are open’ are just some of the features customers can use.
Now integrated into Pivi Pro is what3words navigation (market-dependant). Offering an alternative to setting destinations using post codes, what3words allows you to do this with greater precision via a unique combination of three words representing a three-metre square location: just type the words – clean.corporate.card for example – into Pivi’s navigation search box.
If you want to know the what3words reference for a given location, a long press on the map shown in the touchscreen will give you this information. Like Alexa, this feature has already been delivered to existing owners of XE and XF models with Pivi Pro via a software-over-the-air update. what3words is available globally except in China, Japan and South Korea.
Wireless Apple CarPlay® is standard. Wireless Android Auto™ is also standard. In addition, Pivi Pro can connect two phones simultaneously, and an optional wireless device charging pad in the centre console features a signal booster to improve network reception and Wi-Fi.
