Recommended Posts

Hi Guys ,

 

Newbie here I'm afraid ,

 

Bought a Jaguar XF 3.0S Portfolio , private sale , 78k on the clock , 58 plate in Black . spent 6 months plus looking for the right one !!! .

 

I have had the car some 6 weeks now , the last 4 weeks its been in and out of my mech's garage three times !!! 

 

Restricted performance comes up 4 wks ago ,driving along bypass doing 50 mph goes to over take ,

and up pops the red letters restricted performance , phone AA , turns out to be code Poo6A , carries out repair , resets , all fine , then next day it does the same thing overtaking again !!! .

 

Into garage , for repair , replaces black !! air filter full of debris , replaces Oil in engine as this was black ! (serviced by Jaguar Sept 2014),resets fault all ok again for a few days , then restricted performance lights up again .

 

Into garage , for repair , replaces both mass air sensors , one was grey/black colour , resets fault ,

all ok again , few days later restricted performance lights up again , this time we sense a rubber burning smell ?

 

into garage , for repair , checks out DPF filters , need cleaning !! , uses special cleaner from Germany for DPS cleaning , all done and test drove by mech , worked well drives great !! ,

then all of a sudden restricted performance came on , checked code , we now have P2263 ? ,

 

We have done all we can at the garage , could any one recommend a good independent garage please in the Gloucestershire area , other than HA FOX of Chel , Parents used them for there XK8 ,

not very good .

 

Many thanks in advance

 

Paul

Paul,

 

Sorry to hear about your troubles. got rid of my XKR because it started giving trouble giving trouble.Called breakdown out twice in two days, then had to wait a month for the part. Not what i expected from a £50K car, The dealership and Jaguar were no help whatsoever .

 

So and independent garage would seem to be your best bet.

 

 

Have a look at this link, there might be something near you. Hope you get it sorted shortly

Hi Paul, and welcome to the Club.

 

Trevor has pointed you in the right direction.

 

The list of garages is very useful, but when you have sorted out the problems I would recommend you give the car a terraclean service which is very good for diesels.

 

I have never had the restricted performance light on [yet].

 

Regards,

 

Peter.

HI Paul

 

I have had similar problems and the codes look familiar.......

 

look at the intercooler this cracks on the drivers side (outlet) im sure you will find pictures if you search £750 to repair at Jaguar

then the inlet manifold will burst...... top right handside just above injectors.... £1400 for Jaguar to repair

then the throttle body assembly will probably fail £70 off eBay and I nailed that part on myself due to empty pockets but was easy enough :-)

 

mine is also the Portfolio 3.0 XF-S most unreliable car I have ever owned and as Knightsmith says if your out of warranty Jaguar not remotely interested 

 

on the brighter side does anyone want to buy a Jaguar XF 3.0D S Portfolio in Pearl Grey whilst its still running????

Hi all, 

Just had my Intercooler go pop too, unfortunately mine is well outside its warranty. After many hours I took mine apart myself and brought a new one from Jaguar £212 plus vat, on looking at the new one, seems as though the seam is about to pop again, Jaguar garage gave me a 2 year warranty and said if it happens again they will replace and do the job for free. They have also said they will investigate the part and put a bin on it? My only problem right now is getting the new bolts as they don't come with it any ideas where is the best place, I heard there a M6-40mm needed can anyone confirm this before I buy. Thanks in advance.

Yes M6 40mm is what is normally supplied although 30mm is plenty long enough also fit a nylock nut will stop it rattling loose ;-)

 

screwfix will probably be your best bet you may also be able to get from a local B&Q

 

and for some reason I can't sign in to my old profile Lord H forgotten password as I am now a Volvo driver

No problem hope you manage to get it sorted I have to admit I gave up out of sheer frustration with my portfolio s real pity as it was a fabulous car let down with one problem after another 

 

also pay attention to which way you put the bolt in mine being the 40mm long one was digging into a pipe when I got it back and had to turn it around so the excess thread was facing towards the rear of the car and off the pipe work 

 

good luck

I use Martin Richings in Chipping Sodbury who recently did a gearbox transmission fluid change at 190,000 miles on my 3.0 D XF Portfolio. Good reliable garage and reasonable prices.
