  • Jaguar xj8 overheated!

    Hello friends, I have maintained a 98 he Jaguar XJ 8, super condition and checkbook(all stamps available) Last year he got a new gearbox,new exhaust.It’s the 4.0 version V8, It started last year that the water pump dripped and the car overheated shortly afterwards.(the last holder told me) I bought the car as it was and changed the water pump.I took care that the old pump didn’t leave back in the water cans and spouted the Sys I left the cap to the water (reservoir) tank open. The car did not overheat. I left the water afterwards and let the old thermostat go for a new one, closed the water tank and drove with the cars 2 km w, BET THE WATER THAN A DRUCK exploded!The cask was on the boil and the temperature indicator went on red only in the last second. Sch…. thought, what to do now? OK, everything again, new water storage tank installed, heating modules removed and built in, but no change, it still bubbles funny in the water tank! Do I fill 10,7 liters of water an evaporated 5 liters in 10 minutes….where does the water remain? no idea? The oil is clean, no water to find there, no white smoke in the exhaust gas! The heating stays cold! ult No error codes! Maybe someone here has a advice thank you

  • XF buying intent but total uncertainty – which engine holds?

    Hello, short to my person. I am now retired and wanted to enjoy my station wagon, DB 320cdi, after 275,000 km almost every day new problems as the last vehicle. For the new car it is not enough but a used up to 35.000€ already in it. Optics plays a big role for me and honestly the XF sportbrake is, despite getting used to necessary gap measurements especially from the bonnet to the front apron, after about half a year vehicle search of the Einzi Now this “will have” feeling has manifested itself in the head and belly. Balanced comfortable, sporty, smooth running and with regard to the automatic according to my old seems to me the 6 Zyl.XF 30d. Actually, I had already visited a vehicle with approx. 60tsd km at mobile, was actually the assumption that the engine can not be the problem. By chance, probably still in time, I came across reports about numerous engine pests about the Gockl. n with this model. The subsequent visit of various forums strengthened these and now my uncertainty is almost intolerable. In addition, there are reports about incompetent workshops and their masters as well as the denial of the existing problem by Jaguar, which probably led in Korea to the recall action of the respective series. My subsequent questions were partly discussed in forums could finally but not really be answered why I asked this th The first questions would be whether there is now a series at the 6 Zyl. with which this problem no longer occurs and/or whether there is a connection guarantee or well-known used car warranty that covers this problem. The next questions aim at your experience and which reliable engine you can recommend no matter whether petrol or diesel. The top speed is not decided for me. end on the other hand reasonable reserves for overtaking operations and in the trailer operation up to 1to already. Actually everything about known problems is interesting or which could still quickly cause problems and what you have to pay attention to when buying. I am also open for purchase offers with a form of guarantee. Interesting would also be possibly a 6Cyl. with engine damage that can be overhipped by the repairer. I thank you if you have read up here, I hope you do not get too much den Senkel und würd mich über helpfule Antworten grühen. Vielen Grüße Friedl B

  • F-Type R Depreciation, Approved and Spasfactor

    Hello, I’m about to sell my Panamera GTS and plan to buy an RS6 for the family with a dog. In addition, I’d like something for fun. Again and again I’ll be smiled at by the acquaintance to have interest in the F-Type R, because all mine is a pure trollbox and is sawn by each 911. I find the design just awesome, could look at the car for hours, really great. Now I would have a few everyday questions to you to know what A) What service costs can be expected? I don’t buy a Gallardo because I see what a lot of it is in repairs with my brother. B) What is the durability? Do I have a model from 2015 with 18,000km in mind. Does this engine hold out 100,000km or do they fly constantly around your ears? Are there experience values? C) What loss of value does the car suffer in the next few years, if I take care of it now about 70k€. in the next 5 years down to 30k€ if it has no 100,000km? D) Does it have to be the AWD? Is the rear drive unmobile? E) What do you not like or like about this car compared to the 0815 911er? Thank you very much!

  • Experiences with Ingenium gasoline 2 liters sought

    Hello, unfortunately I did not find anything useful about the search here or the gockel about the currently installed Jaguar 2 liters gasoline, neither good nor bad experiences. (Is that in itself good?) There are certainly some users on the road with the engine. I could find the only entry to the needle bearings, which sometimes cause problems. Background : Will I look at an XF with this engine next week in the 300hp variant BJ 2018. from an A5 and guess that I have to make slight cuts during processing. But I like it quite well and is sometimes something else… Greetings

  • Problems with automatic air conditioning

    I have the problem that my automatic climate control Jaguar XE works in a fluctuating way. 6/2017…. During the ride it is easy to hit the windshield, the automatic climate control is on both sides 21.5 degrees, car and is not adjusted. Nevertheless, every few minutes the windshield and evenly not just one side or something. You notice that the windshield is slightly completely fogged and before it gets really annoying the compressor felt again and the windshield w I already had the car at the dealer’s and he did not find a mistake, said it would be normal that the compressor would stop in between. Do you have the same problems or similar ?

  • X-Type 2.2 Diesel – Reliability

    Dear members, my name is Daniel I’m 24 years old and I think the Jaguar X-Type is very nice. I’m thinking about getting the car, but I don’t have any experience with the car. I drive 20tkm a year, I’m rather pingy about cars, I’m supposed to drive quite comfortably (rarely on full gas) and treat cars carefully. I and my wife are planning a child and in my mom I drive a Mini Cooper, so I need a bigger car. Can anyone help me? Does the car have its typical flaws? Reliability? Suitable for winter? http://suchen.mobile.de/vehicles/details.html?id=205595977 I found this one? Visually just great! But how long-lasting is it? Thank you for your answers and time! Daniel

  • F Type R AWD vs F Type SVR

    Hello dear Jaguar municipality, my first time in this forum! I recently had a new F Type R for the test drive for two days! A good friend had suggested to me to drive this car once. Actually I never had the car on the screen. Although very nice, but somehow not the right thing! Had before the end of next year my M240i convertible again for an M4 with AC Schnitzer Tuning and 510PS or a Porsche 991.2 GTS. But suddenly this quite kicks special emotional car with the name F Type R in my life! After a few considerations I want to get at least targeted offers from two Jaguar dealers. The car has after my Konfi a list new price of about 128000.-, as SVR about 149000.- Probably leasing over 42 months and 15000km p.a. How much discount do the Jaguar dealers give! Do you favor a particular dealer? How are your experiences with these vehicles / maybe also compared to M Models or 911ers? Is the extra price for the SVR worth it? Chassis seems better to me,acceleration is supposed to be better from 200 onwards and significantly better from 250 onwards than on the R. Does the SVR still have the same everyday suitability as the R? Sorry for the many questions,but I still hope for some information from you!

  • New F-Type

    Does anyone have information like the prices of the new F-Type? I think the car is simply awesome, with the coupe being even more interesting. The car is the ultimate design banger. A good alternative to Aston Martin – and hopefully cheaper There are normal sports seats – the shell seats are not going for a Jaguar at all.
