Steady

Hi Peter Harwoods the dealer that I bought the XF from and who have been servicing it since 2013 and who I took the car to when it went bang, spoke to Jaguar again and they came back and offered to pay 90% of the repair. They stated that if they paid the full price of the repair I would not be able to have the warranty on the part. By paying the 10% I now have a 2 year warrenty on the new intercooler. I picked up the car this afternoon and payed the £60 bill. While paying I spoke to the service receptionist who confirmed my vin was not in the range that had a recall and confirmed basically what you said that Jaguar will claim recompense from their supplier for the blown intercooler. Just hope this intercooler lasts a bit longer than the last. Regards Eddie

Regarding my intercooler. The first blew at 20000 miles this on at 13000 miles. My dealer has come back to me today and told me that after speaking to Jaguar regarding the intercooler they have offered to pay 25% of the cost of a replacement part. The cost of the repair is £588 and Jaguar will pay £147 which still leaves me a bill of £441. I told the guy on the phone, in no uncertain terms, that as Jaguar in my opinion had sold me goods not fit for purpose as this intercooler had only lasted 13000 miles, that he should go back to them and tell them I expect them to pay 100% of the bill and not to insult me with their derisery offer. Am now awaiting Jaguars reply!

Hi Have a xfs 59 plate with 33300 miles on the clock and have just had my 2nd intercooler go bang on me! The 1st went at 21000 miles in Oct 2013 and since then have added 12000 miles. The 2nd went as I accelerated onto the M4 this morning. When I got off the motorway I looked and sure enough the end had split away from the body. Will be having a conversation with the service manager at my jaguar dealership where I bought it in the morning!!
