this is an irritating but minor issue. Have the waterpump replaced and continue driving this beauty.

 

Not just the water pump, a bunch of hoses. I'm out $2700+

 

That’s only 3 or 4 months worth of car payments with no significant depreciation over that period. Compare that to buying a new car.

 

less than 6 months ago it was all 6 injectors to the tune of $4k

six Audi's and a Lexus I've never had issues like this under 60k miles.

it's clear the engineering went into the body, chassis and exhaust - the engine compartment is a mess.

 

I have to ask: what fuel and what oil and what oil change intervals have been used consistently in this engine? These are crucial factors for gasoline direct injection (GDI) engines, and the issues of injectors and timing chains is not by any means limited to Jaguars.

 

5-7k intervals for service

nor worried about timing chain tensioners (I had a v8 Audi s4) - car will be gone before they're issues.

 

I always use premium gasoline (91 RON + BGK44

 

Sorry to hear about the issues. Water pumps unfortunately seem to be prone to failure/leaking over time. And all manufacturers are using more plastic parts and hoses in the cooling systems which eventually go brittle and fail. Your car is prob pushing 7 years old so it's in the zone that becomes an issue.

If it were me I'd be thankful I was all over it, aware of the issues and didn't overheat it. Would get them to replace all plastic cooling system parts while they are in there (crossover pipes, hoses, header tank and cap etc) and enjoy many more years of happy motoring

 

Yes, an XF sorry for posting here.
For future reference are the 5.0XF and F Type engines similar?

Thank you. It's over at Dana's indy shop in Upton Mass (now) getting fixed.
