I had a jaguar xe for 4 years , absolutely no problem at all
Did you buy brand new?
@@huddstudent2009 yes
Owned mine 7 years ago- change oil every 12 months with the Jaguar spec oil - not one breakdown - only maintenance issues were an ABS sensor and wishbone arms - has 55k on the clock - running better than ever - was a Jaguar car at Coventry for first 12 months of life - I believe it probably had a tough time then - 2016 R Sport
I've had a 2017 2.0 litre diesel XE for two and a half years now. Used daily. Because of the Ad Blue it is exempt from ULEZ in London. I get average 35 mpg for short, around town journeys and 64+ mpg on motorways. I love the handling but when using recommended tyre pressure, occasionally get rear tyre spin when starting from stopped. Cured by deflating by 2 psi. Keeping to recommended service and oil change keeps is keeping it in good shape. Only minor issue is paintwork easily scratches on boot bumper shelf. (Should have bought one with metallic paintwork). One thing I must do is update the SatNav software as the city council, like a lot of others has introduced new No Entries, Bus Gates and Pedestrianized areas. Mileage is currently only 74K so will probably keep this one for another year or two. No way will I be going EV!!
from what i read yes the timing chain issues. also the fuel line rail leak and other lines where coming loose. but seems like electrical etc is all ok
Thanks for the review. I am considering purchasing on with the 3.5 engine.
🙏🙏
Had one for 3 years no issues so far
New catalytic conveter, 5 engine mounts, 8 batteries, new boot lid, all new external lights but since all fixed under warranty, been a top notch car, had it 7 years now
Had one since 2 years . Built 11/2015.. had the timing chain, dpf full, rear camera failure, oil pressure sensor and abs sensor. All that before 90000km.
What happend when the timing chain failed ? Did you get it repaired and if so how much did that set you back ? £
@@Sevenseas0 yep repaired at jags dealer. 3000€ in Belgium
@@MD59243 that seems fair 👍
Here in the uk Jaguar dealership it’s about £10,000 if the timing chain snaps
@@Sevenseas0 my god 😱
Anything from 2019 onwards has the up graded timing chain and ur gear selector from the face lift models are now the same as the f type no more dial to select ur gears
I’ve had an xe for 5 years now have the 20d and had no problems. I use Castrol oil and change it every year, think a lot of it is the maitainance schedules need to be shorter.
Well said 👍🏼
I ended up needing new injector seals in the diesel version, and had 2 garages refuse including a diesel specialist, and the jaguar main dealer not having the part, before I was lucky enough to find a rural garage that replaced the lot quite affordably. I then found out the car was having nox sensor issues which would be about the cost of another few annual services, so I sold it to a local garage in the end.
I still desperately miss it though. I'd buy one tomorrow if I didn't think it would blow up on the driveway from all my short bumpy journerys.
These cars break down so often that has caused a shortage of parts in most main dealers. It’s a shame otherwise amazing cars to drive.
If petrol an option for you they’re more reliable
How much did it cost to replace injectors seals?
@@TheTechAudiophile about £160, but that was a very lucky case of just being charged for labour. I think it was 400-600 from the dealer. About 750 quoted for the nox sensor needed at the same time, but I sold it to the garage before changing it.
Thank you for the informative video. I have a 2015 xe. As i am posting this i am changing the timing change with the help of a friend. It sits at 144.000km but the ticking noice started around 130. I always use castrol oil, and i change it 2 times a year even though i only drive 10k a year. I believe this is why it lasted so long before becoming critical. I heard some snapped around 90k. I didnt know the service history when i bought it oversea at 118.000km. Its the only real problem i had with this car over the 2 years i owned it. The thing i hate most about this car is the jerky transmission accompanied by a lag when accelerating. Is this normal is there something i can do to improve it?
The transmission is usually smooth and responsive. Have you replaced the trany fluid? If not, give the trany a service whilst you working on it.
@@DRIVECARSPOV thanks, will definitely do that!
possible option: XHP tune for your gearbox, its even smoother shifting (in adition to oil change)
They are really nice cars I want one but I know not much about cars so I need to be careful, thanks
The timing chain issue is only on diesels not petrols and was fixed for diesels around 2018 iirc with a better timing chain
Reading and listening to everything about Jaguar XE it seems that if I buy the new one, change oils at least 1x to 2x per year (as I do with my current VW golf), I should be able to have no problems up until 70-80k kilometers. Then it might be a good idea to change the chain and check turbo just for a good measure of safety and long term care. From there on I could push the vehicle up to 150k kilometers before repeating this. And maybe even reach over 230k kilometers before having any "more expensive" repairs or replacements (5000 € or higher repair).
Am I understanding this correctly?
You are correct but always be prepared for the unexpected.
That's coreect. Especially the 2.0 litre diesel, jaguar got too carried away telling people not to change oil in over 20k miles, then using chain and guides that require good oil..
This set them up to fail.
And this is the problem now, new drivers then wouldn't service them frequently because dealerships would say they aren't due, only to have premature failure.
Iv had to get a new engine. Car was at 70k when I got it and it only had 3 services imagine
Only problem with Jaguars are when you send them in for service the oil never gets changed which results in the engine issues
I do believe that. My XE v6 is 9 years old now, and for its first oil change under my ownership, I took it to a specialist. They came to get me when I was waiting, and showed me the oil that had came out. It was jet black and stank. He said he didn't think it had been changed in at least 20k. All previous services were dealer stamped. With the most recent one being only 6k miles previous. I have all the old servicing invoices that the previous owner paid, at great expense.
Anyway, that aside, I've had no issues with it in the couple of years I've had it. And being the supercharged v6 version, it's quite fun too. I felt it was a risk buying a Jag, but I have to say, so far it has been flawless and I have no plans to change it.
I had 1 for 2 years. Engine failed and sold for parts…. Everyone who I know told me jaguars are unreliable…. I learned the hard way… did I maintained my car? Yes full service at jag and I changed oil every 10 month ….. had 75k on a clock.
which engine and year did you have?
D204 180 hp 2l diesel
My XE was in about 10 times in 12 months for appalling build quality issues.
Sold it and got a Volvo V60 instead which was a much more luxurious car.
Jag tends to follow BMW in most things including problems.
Just don’t buy one! Trust me they’re a sack of 💩
