Soooo... my Magic Warranty (detailed elsewhere) is soon coming to an end. It's what first brought me into the Jag dealership in LA which has been my go-to and has served me well. I also recently rolled over 60,000 miles, so I've decided to do one last overpriced-but-great service at my Jag dealership. We work together, and they let me a la carte my service options, so I'm looking for advice. The only obvious ones are oil change and air filter(s). About the car:
- had my brake fluid changed(by them) at about 30K miles.
- had the full differential replaced at 25K miles
- to my knowledge, nothing's been done to the antifreeze (I've never even opened the radiator cap in five years...)
- ditto with the transmission, which has been a little wonky. One of the things I'm going to discuss when I bring it in.

I know this stuff can get pricey, quick, at a dealer.
So: in addition to oil and air, what would YOU get done?

Thanks as always...

 

If it ain't broke...don't fix it.

 

Transmission fluid definitely. Coolant drain and fill also. You already mentioned both, so you already know.

 

Focus on the supercharger. Your warranty should cover the repair. A cooperative service manager is your friend. Let them listen to it. Its a wear item and it needs oil replaced.

You need transmission service but warranty wont cover it so it makes no sense to do it there.

 

- trans fluid, filter, sleeve
- power steering flush
- supercharger fluid

But I wouldn't get any of those done at the dealer.

Maybe check engine mounts to see if they can replace them under warranty?

 

Motor mounts already replaced-- yep, under warranty!

 

I had the supercharger rebuilt rebuilt a few years ago, it was covered. How often for the sc oil change?

 

Then you are fine for another 40,000 miles.

Check your headlights, those are expensive to replace. If you get new ones, keep your old ones.

Expecting you in May.

 

Depending on the year, have the water pump inspected...

 

It is recommended the supercharged oil is changed every 50k and as others have said the transmission and diff oils at 60k miles

 

If your brake fluid was last changed at 30K, it's due. Supposed to be changed every year.

 

Thought that every 2 year ? i changed out the water pump a few year back as i had been told that 2010-2012 cars were prone to failure

 

So it sounds like Fluid Change Extravaganza. In addition to oil, brake and transmission. And no diff only because it's been replaced relatively recently.
No thoughts on the antifreeze? Leave it?

 

See post #3 again.

 

I'd do a brake fluid change again. The exotic car brands do flush brake fluid every season, so you a bit behind. The fancier brands should do it every other season.

 

Did you get your supercharger torsion isolator replaced?

 

You know... I have no idea. What happened: I started noticing a brief post-shutoff "knock" of about 2-3 seconds after I shut the car off. Sounded like something an old car of mine would do on hot days after a long drive. So I mentioned it when I brought it in, and they told me it was the supercharger. I hadn't had any warnings and it seemed to be running strong.
They told me it would either be replaced or rebuilt. Ended up being rebuilt. I remember they mentioned a bearing and something else which may indeed have been a torsion isolator.
All I know: they had to have some part(s) shipped from England, so the car was there longer than expected (so I got to know the XE really well), and whatever they did solved the problem.

 

Without derailing the thread, may I ask why so often? Do exotic's brakes leak? Even every 2 years for the XK I thought was a bit much but I do it so I don't have to replace calipers in the future (maybe I just answered my own question...)

 

No idea other than you may be heating fluid more due to track days and that is normal course (annual brake fluid) for cars that may see track days; as part of their annual service. I notice some difference after fluid swap and bleed. Could be in my head, but I don't think so.

Most the exotic cars are using brake brands under the Brembo umbrella.

 

Good point. So if you drive your exotic like a grandma, you can probably go 2+ years then
