Hi Andy

Welcome to the Club.

You'll enjoy the x type and the 2-2 litre is a good one, you don't say what colour (inside and outside). I would ask the Dealer if a Service Action 131K (EGR VALVE REPLACEMENT) has been done as this was to Finnish at the end of August, it was for late x type's with certain Vin Numbers. Is it Manual or Auto.

Regards Tom

Welcome to the Club, Andy.

 

That sounds like a good buy, and Tom has given you a very good tip,

 

I would also suggest you write down any foibles that you think are suspicious as your car is under warranty.

Thanks Tom, the colour is Silver with a cream interior, manual, I may have mislead the dealership as it is a ford dealership in Rhyl that I am buying it from, and the warranty is covered by any ford dealer, as I live in Bolton it helps in case I have any issues, I will find out about the EGR replacement thanks for the tip.

Cheers

Andy

Hi Andy

It's a small world,i bought my x type at a Jaguar Dealer in Farnworth Bolton.

I would get the Vin Number from your Car and take it into a Jag Dealer and they'll be able to tell you if it has had a Service Action 131K,

and that would give you information regarding the EGR VALVE.

Regards Tom

Thanks Tom I will do that, will probably take it to Jag dealer in Farnworth (Farnells) to check this EGR

Hi Tom, thanks for the tip re EGR recall I have checked with Jaguar Farnworth and they tell me there are no outstanding issues with my car re VIN number.

Thanks once again

Hi Andy

Good to see you got it checked,i knew mine had had a new EGR as one was fitted 6 months before i bought my x type and it turns out that this was a Service Action 131K. In 2-1/2 years I have not had any problems with the egr valve or the DPFilter which is fitted to my x type, the main thing I've been told is to give it a good run once a month and if you do a lot of short journeys give it some Revs now and again.
