Petrol Injection:

Electronic Port Fuel Injection (MPI) for NA engines, Direct Injection (DI) may be present on later V6 models, but typically MPI for this era. Supercharged engines use advanced fuel delivery.

Diesel Injection:

Common Rail Direct Injection (CRDI).

ECU System:

Sophisticated electronic engine control units manage fuel injection, ignition timing, emissions, and other engine parameters.

🔧 Transmission

Transmission Type:

Automatic transmission only for the specified variants in this manual.

Transmission Variants:

While the manual specifies Automatic, the specific number of gears would vary by engine. For 2014, 6-speed ZF (e.g., 6HP28) and potentially 8-speed ZF (8HP70) automatics were common, depending on engine and trim.

Shift Modes:

Typically features sport modes and manual shifting (via paddle shifters or gear selector).

Automatic Transmission Fluid:

Likely utilizes Jaguar-approved ATF, such as ZF LifeguardFluid 6 or 8. Specific part numbers and specifications are detailed in the manual. Consult the manual for precise fluid type and capacity.

Other Intervals:

Brake fluid flush (every 2 years), cabin air filter replacement (annually or bi-annually), spark plug replacement (varies by engine, e.g., 60,000 miles for some V8s), timing belt/chain (chain typically lifetime, but requires inspection).

Engine Oil:

For 3.0L V6 and 4.2L V8 petrol engines, typically a low-viscosity synthetic oil like 5W-30 or 0W-30 meeting Jaguar specifications (e.g., WSS-M2C913-C/D or specific Jaguar STJLR.03.5003). For diesel, check specific oil grades.

Brake Fluid:

DOT 4 Class 6 or DOT 4 LV (Low Viscosity). Consult manual for exact specification.

Common Xf Issues General:

Early models had some issues with timing chain tensioners (less common on later V8s but a general VVT concern), water pump leaks, electronic module failures, and suspension component wear. The 2.7L diesel can have EGR valve issues and glow plug problems. The infotainment system can sometimes be slow or glitchy.

2014 Specific Concerns:
