Exclamation Speed limiter 2012 XF

Hello guys, I have a 2012 XF and I have read that my top speed is 155 mph eletronic limited, but my car does not go faster than 125mph, it is very weird, maybe a previous owner installed a governor or something like that.
I have been to the Jaguar dealer and asked them if it was possible to refresh the factory tune, but nobody was able to help me(they sad they can`t change that). I want to fix that and take that limiter out.
I am very sad cause I can`t really enjoy all the power that my car should provide to me. Anyone can give me some help about that ???

Might be some aftermarket tuners that can remove the governor all together. Ask around your local car clubs or speed shops.

My XF has a speed limiter which is set at 130 kph/80mph. At times it can be quite annoying. This was my solution!

If raising the max speed you may also need new tyres (tires). Be sure to check!
