Hope one one might be able to help. My 2009 XF Luxury has developed a squeaky brake pedal. The dealer has lubricated it but it didn't cure the problem. They say they need to strip it down at half a days labour. If not covered on the warranty then I will need to pay myself. Any idea what it might be and the likelihood that it wouldn't be on the warranty?

Car has developed so many problems recently, this is just another issue

hi

Have you taken a look? Does the spring points need lubricating? Also have you tried WD40 on the joints?

The dealer said they did, but it didn't cure the squeak. I did look but the problem is you cannot see or easily get to much. Hence why they are saying they need to strip it down. they said it could be the 'pedal box' , whatever that is?

on the subject of sqecking break pedal i have a simlar problem on my x type it clicks when i break and you can feel the click threw the gear nob has anybody come acrooss this problem withtheir x type if so maybe you can tell wot it might be and how to fix it my xtype is a 2001 model

I have the same problem with my xkr and Iam told Iam stuck with it ,however I have never heard it on the XF. If you have no luck try XJK in stoke on trent for advice.I can not praise them enough 01782 613434 or try their site I dont know that.

Sorted, they had to replace the pedal box. This is a large box under the footwell, inside are two springs that control the pedal return, feels like a different car, nice and solid feel and no noise from the pedal. They performed it under warranty.
