I had a 2.0d 180bhp ingenium xf and ran it from new to 180k with zero problems. My only expense being consumables and servicing costs. I found it a fantastic engine, economical, plenty of torque, a great cruiser. Couldn't fault it 👍

I do my own F Pace oil and filter changes at home, every 5000 miles. Not yet cleaned the DPF but only at 34000 miles. There is also a filter on the low pressure EGR system that clogs if the DPF is damaged. A sooty tailpipe is evidence of a cracked DPF and a whole world of pain and expense. A weekly check of the tailpipe is important.

I have a jag xf .
I use premium diesel, keeps dpf clean..runs beautifully

[terrymurphy]

I change the oil and filter on my Evoques ingenium engine, every 5k. I use v power premium fuel, and take the car for a 20 min run down the motorway every other week. I use a forte dpf cleaner with every service. I never have issues and is a great car.

On my Discovery Sport with an Ingenium engine, a warning message comes up after 8k to 10k advising an oil change, so I obey the advice notwithstanding that there's loads of miles to go for the 21k service. At my current mileage, this means it gets done every year with the MoT.

JLR should really issue advice to all owners and garages to follow your advice. They are great vehicles otherwise.

BTW - Range Rover Evoques and Velars also have these engines.

F-Pace 2.0d Daily Motorway mileage, 21-23, 000 miles between services, sold at 74, 000 miles, no troubles. Sympathetic cold start driving but selected a lower gear and gunned it up the M62 over the Pennines every so often (90+) or it would barely rev more then 2000rpm the whole time. The oil was black, so I think 20k+ is too much but keeping the DPF clean is number 1 IMO.

[julesviolin]

Yep
I've done oil changes every 5k for last 45 years.
Never had any engine issues, not even with the Triumph Stag I had for 15 years ⚠️

Step 0 : As a top priority, don't use START & STOP function

[haroldduane]

Great information, I have a 25d and also, any chance you could outline how to do a DPF clean please.thanks

[stevelane]

Great advice lad, I`m thinking about buying a 2017 XF, was worrying about this subject.

[neilhampson]

The service interval on these engines is ridiculous. Jaguar state 2 years or 21000 miles, and they wonder why they have issues. The parts supply is also a problem, I needed a pipe from the cylinder head to the expansion tank, 8 weeks wait for a £13 part. The oil jaguar recommend is also very thin (0-W30)

[graham]

I have the 2.0d have the dpf gutted and egr mapped out, chain and turbo done, but constantly goes into limp mode and turbo not boosting

[frasermitchell]

Not sure about the DPF clean, but when I bought my 2017 XE diesel on 10k miles from the local main agent, I decided the service intervals were absurdly long for a diesel engine, so took out a service plan that included extra services between the Jaguar ones. Essentially these are oil and filter change plus an underbody assessment and brake check. So far all has been well, and I have had no faults whatsover, (knocks head on wood). Car is now on 63k. Maybe time to sell-on !

I currently run an X-Type estate with the 2.2 diesel. It is comfortable, reliable (no DPF) and I manage mid 50s MPG on mostly motorway driving. Currently I rack up about 15000 miles per year and with retirement in sight, I had planned to run the X-Type until then and change to an XF estate, probably diesel. But this article has set me thinking, so I did some calculations. Based on 7000m per annum after retirement, I compared the costs of a petrol XF 250 at an assumed 35 mpg and a 2.0 diesel at an assumed 60mpg, and based on the fuel costs at my nearest station (1.41/L diesel and 1.35/L petrol) I came up with annual fuel costs of £165 for a diesel and £270 for petrol, so just over £100 difference. If you did my current mileage of 15000 it would be just over £200. But then add in the cost of an annual DPF clean ( I looked online and found an average of £245 + VAT quoted for this), extra oil, filters, Adblue etc. and you would have to do a pretty huge mileage to make the diesel cheaper than the petrol as well as being reliable. So it would seem that a more sensible choice for me when the time comes is to look for a petrol version! Or have I missed something?

[chuckbradley]

XF petrol 3.0 V6. Oil and filter change every 10, 000 miles. 150k miles. Still going.

[RD-qpmu]

Dpf clean every year, these cars really are a joke.

[dreaming]

Had a 67 plate XF 2.0 diesel, had it for 5 years, absolutely no problems what so ever, great car beautiful to drive and a stunning looker in the caesium blue, you must of just had a bad example, which you can get with any make of car.

[lukabilic]

For the DPF clean, do I need to get it out of the engine or is it enough to put some DPF cleaning fluid and do my 2 hours motorway drive?

[BazGibb]

I have a 66 plate XF 2.0d. Had to get timing chain replaced at 91k - £2000. Aside from the fact the 8 speed gearbox at low speeds or pulling away is absolute PANTS it's a lovely car to drive once at speed.

[MK-lygk]

I own a diesel mark 2 XF, 2018. Do not follow the service interval recommendation from Jaguar.. That's also what my specialist JLR shop told me.
I change the oil every 10-15k KM. I've had no issue so far. Had it for 2 years, I've had some parts replaced like Nox sensor and Diesel cooler which both had corroded, but it might be because in Finland its quite harsh climate and salt on roads etc.

Diesels have their own issues, just maintain properly.
