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.

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

Had one for 3 years no issues so far

Thanks for the review. I am considering purchasing on with the 3.5 engine.

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.

Only problem with Jaguars are when you send them in for service the oil never gets changed which results in the engine issues

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

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.

possible option: XHP tune for your gearbox, its even smoother shifting (in adition to oil change)

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?

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

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.

Jag tends to follow BMW in most things including problems.

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.
