Last week my XF Sd started juddering badly at 70mph, then the engine sounded like an old taxi. Calledjaguar assist and they couldn’t diagnose the fault but said it needed to go to the dealership for full check and not to drive it. He arranged recovery and a load car (driving a Land Rover discovery sport). Called the dealer today and they said when they got it into the workshop the engine seized and now won’t turn over so needs a new engine! Thankfully it’s still under warranty! 

Wow what year and mileage as it got.

Don't tell me - let me guess... V6 2.7 diesel?

2016 3.0V6 d 29k miles

OK, would have been my second choice. Sorry to hear the news.

Got the car back after 3 weeks with a new engine under warranty thankfully. Hope this one lasts!

Hi Dino,

My car had a new engine at 28k under warranty and while under Jaguar ownership.  It has been perfect ever since with the exception of a new water pump.

The car is now nearly 12 years old and is running beautifully.

Regards,

Peter.
