  1. Hi, yes yours sounds very similar to mine although mine seems to have a more pronounced "tick" but only when warm, when cold the tick isn't present. If I rev it hard say 3.5k and feather off the accelerator the tick isn't there for a few seconds... With regards to the shaking, mine doesnt do that. I'm not sure what that could be unless one of the injectors is misbehaving when cold but that may throw a code. Do you have a code reader? You can buy an ELM327 reader off Ebay for a few £, an app will read the codes on your phone via bluetooth, its pretty good and will at least arm you with some info on what's going on. Tbh I havent had the time to take my car anywhere for a diagnosis on the ticking noise plus I'd rather take it to somewhere recommended etc, tired of being ripped off and spending money for nothing, did that in bucket loads with my old 530d, in hindsight most of the work i had done it didnt need and it cost me a fortune. I think the noises we are hearing are like you say, injector related or maybe an exhaust manifold leak which funnily enough my old 68 Cadillac (i know, it was good for making money on the side trust me) had and sounded almost identical. I've since been using millers diesel additive and some injector cleaner (not together) not sure if this has made a difference or not but maybe to early to tell. My car also doesnt have the engine undertray, looks like it has sheared off at some point, I'm looking to replace it to see if this makes a slight difference if any. Worth a shot and it should be in place after all. Worn camshaft? Maybe but I've not heard of any problems online but that's not a definitive answer. When I get the chance to take it somewhere for proper diagnosis I will definitely post an update as it drives me mental, I'm hoping it's just an injector noise and nothing any more sinister! Other jobs to sort, rear wheel bearing moan and paint detailing, swirl mark's are awful under forecourt lights! Fingers crossed on an easy fix for the noise etc, love the car but not the noise!!
  2. Hi Jon Appreciate you taking the time to do that etc, after hearing yours its put my mind at rest a little but I do think mine is a tad more rattly. Still have to see if theres a sound pad under the bonnet plus the undertray is missing so I suppose that would add to the noise. Like the colour you have, mines a little different, has a black grill insert plus the S badges are different? Theres one on the front grill too. I like the chrome grill tbh, prefer it to the black. Thanks, E.
  3. I've heard the 4 cylinder diesel Jaguars, really noisy! I expect they are fairly quite inside the cabin though? Here's a couple of other quick vids of my car running, starting etc. The flutter type noise worries me a little as it sounds like oil not getting to the top end quick enough or do they all do this? The tick when hot drives me nuts tbh, just hoping its characteristic and not something else.
  4. Thanks for the replies, I'm at work so can only reply when I can. I'm sure I'm just being over anxious with the noise issue but it does seem quite "tappety" on idle which does disappear when the revs are up. Maybe a leaking injector or an exhaust manifold leak. I will take it to an independent to have them take a look etc but would rather go armed if you know what I mean! With regards to sound padding I'm not sure if the padding is under the bonnet, will check tonight. I do know that the undertray is missing but would that make that much of a difference to engine noise as surely it would deflect the noise up? I will post another sound clip as that other one has a lot of wind noise etc. Cant help but compare it to the BMW 530d it has replaced, the engine on that just sounded more refined but maybe due to the straight 6 as opposed to the V6. Anyway I'm sure this issue will slowly drive me nuts... I do love it though I must admit and it soaks the bumps up way way better than the 5 series plus this one has the big 20 inch wheels. Interior is a lovely place to be too. Touch screen is a bit fiddly but slowly getting used to it. Handles better too and obv much much quicker!
  5. Hi, first post as a new owner. This has been discussed many times but my engine is pretty noisy and does not sound as refined as I thought it would coming from a 530d E60... I have a flutter / chatter from cold and some warm starts and a tick like a tappet when up to operating temp. Doesnt tick when cold. Sounds like pinking when accelerating too. FSH and fresh correct oil. 96k with new inlet manifold and cambelt. Here's a sound clip from a fairly warm start (in the dark sorry) so if anyone could put my mind at rest or suggest what it could be etc that would be a starting point for me. I do really like the Jag but it's so different to other big diesels I have driven in terms of noise and refinement. Very quite in the cabin though must admit.
  6. Hi, just purchased a 2010 XF S 3.0D Portfolio with the Aero kit and the DRL's. This has replaced an early BMW E60 530d that I have owned since 2008 so I'm still pretty biased towards them atm plus I still have a 2006 630i M Sport convertible which is a dream to drive tbh. So far I'm happy with the Jaguar in terms of comfort, looks etc but coming from the German rival it's a whole lot different. I've had the Jag for a week now and already having a few small problems, boot open fault which was a snapped wire (easy fix) slight rust on wheel arch (?) and a moaning wheel bearing that somehow didnt get noticed on the test drive.... Anyway, looking forward to enjoying the car and will post some vids of it running soon as it seems fairly noisy compared to the 530d it has replaced. But I will add that its scarily quick!!
