Picked up the car around 5 yesterday and except for a few fingerprints (I specifically told them NOT to wash the car), it all looks good.
The work order states: "Removed rear wheels, fender liner and exhaust to gain access. Replaced filler neck. Check for debris in rubber fill hose. Test drove."
I did notice when I got in my car to leave, it was in dynamic mode.

Just filled up for the first time yesterday and my car definitely has this issue. As soon as it clicked off after only 5-10 seconds, I remembered hearing in this forum about the problem. I figured they surely had fixed it on new cars. I even tried turning the nozzle at different angles.
Oh well, add this to the fix list for next time in:
- factory paint defect on rear driver-side quarter panel
- hood fit alignment at fender wells
- insanely sensitive fuel fill shutoff syndrome

However, for the other stations it's a hit or miss. The Mobil, 76, USA Gas, Arco around my neighborhood work 10% of the time while 80% of the time I'm standing there like a moron who looks like they can't fill up their own tank.
My dealer did install the "new" designed filler neck because they initially had me wait a month until they had the new parts in stock.

That's good to hear. The fuel filling issue is literally the only problem
I've had with the car and it is sporadic at best. So, I'm a bit reluctant to turn my car over to service for what could potentially be a week for something that, honestly, doesn't really cause much of a problem at this point. However, I can see it being a huge issue on a road trip where my fuel options are limited...

Lurker and potential XF owner here.
I have the exact same problem with my Porsche Turbo
California has a spring loaded assembly that seals the gas pump to the filler tube on the car. Some pumps are more sensitive than others. The best way I have found to get my car to take fuel is to pull the spring loaded seal and to let the air out. Anyone tried that on your XF?

My dealer, British Motor Cars of San Francisco, wants to check my car out before they will order parts for the filler tube. They are an hour drive from my house and there is a dealer, Cole Imports 10 minutes away. I have my first service due. I asked the service manager to see if they had the parts. Otherwise, I told him I would just go to Cole from now on. Let's see if they want my continuing business.
