Hi Steve I am currently really really tempted to buy a 2013 XF Estate the only thing putting me off is its done 142,000 Miles but it does seem an awful lot of car for the money. I was thinking with it being a 3Ltr Diesel I would imagine it should be good for a few 100K miles. What's your thoughts on this 🤔 would very much appreciate any feedback. Thanks Steve
I’ve got a 2010 XF cashmere gold with 65k on the clock ,,, immaculate , fast , luxury ,, just had timing belt replaced ,, no other issues ,,, beautiful car
Have a 2012 facelifted XF premium luxury with 116k miles in it. I do a nearly a two hr commute a couple of days a week. It makes a massive difference to my commute, it has power, grip, comfort and really quiet and refined. Look after it and it will look after you
I have the same model as this with 155000 on the clock and it is in absolutely mint condition. A fantastic car to drive. The only issues I have had since purchase is the DPF warning light as shown in this video and I also had to replace the battery as it was throwing up all kinds of gremlins and warning lights which ended up being a dodgy battery. What I will say is that the engine warning light is not related to the DPF as that amber light on the dashboard is its own warning light. I give my Jag a good spin on my local motorway every week which keeps the DPF happy, just 20 miles should be enough. If you find it is throwing up a DPF warning regularly then it is most likely the EGR valve that needs a good clean or replacing but that is relatively inexpensive. The water in fuel warning is a little more concerning and I would get it serviced ASAP as I noticed that can throw the car into limited performance mode. One thing I can not stress enough is always use premium diesel such as V-Power.. The XF is a precious little soul that really picks up and throws a tantrum on cheap fuel!!
Definitely correct on these points, it seems like it’s vital that the XF gets at least a good motorway run once a week! Seems like a common issue at this mileage. Real joy to drive though
Expensive premium fuel is usually over rated. Engines run fine on any grade of fuel. They are designed to including this engine. Just add an additive occasionally. In fact you can run this quite happily on red diesel
@@voicevoice2053 Absolutely. The additive is key. Premium fuels already have the additives in them and are more beneficial to older, high mileage examples that have a tendency to clog up the EGR valve due to reduced efficiency. As for your statement on red diesel, that experiment is easy to find both on RUclips or on the individual car forums like Mercedes, BMW and Jaguar. FYI, the Jag XF, a 2014 model I believe, lasted 20 minutes before the check engine warning light came on 😂
@@Dr.SkullScience77 it would be good to hear a more technical answer to running on red diesel. Its the same as white. Maybe without the same additives. The long held belief it won't run an engine properly is a myth for obvious reasons Premium fuel differential is only additives. Diesel engines are built and programed to include tolerance to fuel variations. The guy I know who runs taxis ( Mercedes diesel cars) has been using red diesel for over a decade without problems. Even fuel filter changes the same service intervals
Couple of points. The "heating controls" are NOT activated only by the touchscreen - you can operate absolutely everything with the exception of the heated seats with the controls on the dash. For the heated seats controls, they're right there on the main screen, there's no menus to scroll through. It's not a problem at all yet I've seen several reviews that seem to suggest that you have to go through the system to use all the heating and climate controls. Second point is only a minor one, the Jag badge on the rotary gear selector is an aftermarket stick on extra, it doesn't come with the car,
Parents used to have one of these. Of all their cars i think its what they miss the most, i dont see why it shouldnt still be good after quite a few miles.
Love the design of this XF, this era of Jags still looks good over 10 years after it was built. You defianlty got the Jaguar Land Rover experince there pal haha! Nice work lad!
Hello Armagan. 115k miles on the jaguar is pretty decent after good servicing. The jaguar is a beast even being a decade old. Once again nice review fam
I've been in the xfs version with 270bhp so I know how smooth the V6 is. My brother did buy the facelift 2013 2.2 diesel 200bhp. That engine was surprisingly laggy. Ride was slightly harsh but did love interior especially the centre console. He had a few issues with his so went back to the Audi with a 2015 a6. This is his 3rd a6 he loves Audis
They must of played around with the suspension on the facelift then. That’s a shame. Can’t go wrong with a Audi A6, I do love that era of Audi A6’s, when they came out in 2011 or 2012 (can’t remember). Does ur bro have the 2 litre TDI S line?
Must have had something wrong with it. the 200 is pretty quick (for what it is) and I have had the s and 2.7 as well. Suspension on the 2.2. is indeed different from the v6s (its one of the less-publicized aspects) but livable.
Great review mate, it’s between a Mercedes clk and this for me, performance/ handling hands down goes to Mercedes I’m sure but that interior is so class in the jag it puts the mercedes to shame
@@harveym5716 No , I am not. I am from Europe. It is not hard to do , EGR is programmed OFF via PC , and DPF is cut out delete and weld back , BUT you have to modify car ''brain'' after so everything works perfectly . I let specialist to do it , was 500 eur :)
Good video, thanks. I have a 2011 XF 3.00 diesel S. I love the car. My dpf warning light came on saying full and then a red restricted performance light. It turned out one of the inlet manifolds had cracked. The part is about £250, but very labour intensive. Mine is in a garage now and will cost £1,500, even more if they can't regen the dpf. £300 to send away and fix a blocked one. Failed inlet manifolds are evidently quite common.
I have the same model as you, but on a '12. Bought it 'cheap' (big NO NO!). I'm £3000 into it in repairs alone now. Replaced both cam covers, and had new timing chain and tensioners. Two days after the repairs were completed the crank snapped whilst on the motorway (no warnings) and destroyed the engine. I was ready to write it off but I may find a CAT B car and take the engine and box from that. The internet is awash with stories just like this about the TD/SDV6. How JLR were never sued for the sheer number of failures of these units I will never know. Also, best to have the DPF deleted 👍
I owned a 10 plate 3.0s. I had the plastic manifold split as well + the drivers side egr valve was faulty as well £1800 cost. The rear fog light failed no fuse for them £800 wanted to fit a new electronic board. Both rear doors locking devices failed. The radio was absolute rubbish. Phoned jaguar tech about the plastic manifolds and the rear fog lights and the idiot I spoke to said we don’t recognise them as faults. My car had only done 87000 thousand miles.
i have a 2011 xfs 150,000m and my dpf light kept coming on because i dont do long motorway trips to burn off the blockages but i have just had it dpf deleted and re maped to 320bhp for £300 now it is getting 60+mpg and is a monster
@@ArmaganDemiral they cut the dpf open on the top and take out the inside and re weld it it still passes emission test and they can only see it if mot place take the exhaust off
wow 60mp?? sounds too good to be true. mu dad has the 2lr diesel version but im looking at getting the 2010 3l diesel if thats accurate mpg il defiantly get it remapped with the egr and dpf delete
I've driven the (204 hp) Diesel, the V8 and the supercharged V8 and, sadly, this car really, really needs V8 power IMO. Never got a chance to drive the more powerful Diesels or the petrol V6s, but I cannot imagine any of them coming close to the V8s. You can do without the supercharger and you don't need to go crazy and look for an XFR but I would highly recommend avoiding the Diesel. It's not a bad engine, it just doesn't fit the character of this car and once you've driven the V8s, it's very hard to go back to any lesser engine. BTW: I drove the car(s) around initial launch and even back then the infotainment system was terribly out-dated. I think they ripped this one out of a Volvo. BMWs from this period had much nicer and more responsive infotainment systems, so it's not like the tech wasn't around in 2008. :)
I own a 2012 270 hp S version diesel, and it's a whole different ball game to the 2.2. You won't really miss the V8 once you've driven the 3.0 diesel, especially in the S derivative. Unless petrol is more your thing. I can also say that the infotainment system in the facelift version is a lot better.
I'm buying my first ever car, and this is the one I'm looking at. I know absolutely nothing about cars in general, and most of the acronyms mentioned here are foreign language to me! Would you mind if I asked how much on average your monthly service costs come to? I'm looking at one that's done 132,000 miles, 3L V6 Luxury Auto Euro 5 4dr. Thank you!
@@haus_of_wisdom No one answered, but I've now had for 2 months and it's absolutely fine so far. No issues whatsoever, but then again, I rarely drive long distances.
Car tax 275,- per year? I thought you were going to say that's cheap. Here in the Netherlands that car will cost you 177,- per month (2124,- per year) on tax. Granted, our roads are generally in better condition than in the UK.
You mentioned insurance, I was going to buy a 2012 2.2L Diesel and the insurance wanted £64 a month. The sale fell through and I opted for a 2011 3.0L V6 diesel and then only asked for £26 a month. I cant quite understand this tbh :D
@@Mr__Sinister they are available in the UK but insurance is very expensive due to the engine size. In the uk majority of your premium is based upon the engine sizes and power output and this scares people away from buying larger engined cars

115k is nothing mine old 2010 had 184k on it. Cost thousands to keep it going between 130k and 170k tho manifold cracked alternator went water pump failed window rectangular failed x2 also had a coolant leak and a oil leak lol
DON'T BUY ONE THERE NOTHING BUT A MONEY PIT!!!!!
Bloody hell that’s bad
@@ArmaganDemiral I bought an '09 model with 113k on it. Gearbox had to be re-built, water pump failed, alternator failed, battery failed, window regulator failed, rotary gear selector wouldn't rise in total 6k of maintenance in just over a year (some of that was regular maintenance including can belt). Reversing camera is a joke, by the time the system booted up the manoeuvre was complete. Car was an absolute nightmare. I was lucky a van ran into the back of it and was an insurance right off. That was a few years ago......I've just bought a '15 with 135k on it.
