I leased my XF. I removed the stock 18" wheels and I replaced them with 20" chrome wheels and low profile tires. I had to shop around a bit to find a wheel that would fit the car. I was told that the brake calipers were larger than normal and I needed to find a wheel that would fit. Many of he wheel shops had not seen the car and tehy did nto have a wheel that would fit. I immediately noticed an improvement in the ride once I removed the stock run flat tires. I am very happy with the new chrome wheels and they really improved the looks and ride of the car. I took the original 18" wheels and tires and put them in storage. I will replace them when I turn the car in after 39 months.

I just got on this blog to see if anyone has experienced the problem(s) I am having with my Jaguar XF Supercharged and I found your blog. I bought my Supercharged August 3. Since then the engine malfunction light has been on 3 times. It was serviced twice and is now at dealer for a 3rd time. I called Jaguar Customer Service and was not given the option of a new car, they said I have to go through the AutoCap or BBB first to address this. I also have cosmetic issues and wind noise but have not even addressed these as the engine malfunction light is so concerning to me. Basically it's been there a week now and so far the mechanic has not resolved. Let me know what is going on with your car and if they finally fixed and how. I also have creaking and wind noise.

I had the engine malfunction light problem. Immediateley brought it to the dealership and they said there was a software update (they call it a "flash")- they did the update and all is fine. Has not happened again (it's been 2 weeks).
Also, had lots of creaks and squeaks and it took a full day, but they were able to fix that too (I did not think they would but I was pleasantly surprised).IMO a lot has to do with the dealership. If the dealership handles some really high end cars (like Aston Martin, Porsche, etc) they are geared to better and smarter mechanics. At my dealership, Jaguar is the low end car.

yeh, the first time the dealer did the software update. a couple days later, l engine malfunction light on, took back again and they said engine misfires and cleaned fuel enjectors then a couple days later back on again, now it's been at the dealer since last thursday and they are still trying to find issue and dealing with tech support at jaguar as well. Creaks and Squeaks I could live with but this is not good. thanks for your message!

I am having double thought

I have seen the XF at my local dealer here in Saudi, and loved it. I was already planning on buying XF V8 loaded (we also have a 3.0 V6 available, but real men drive v8). But I read about the problems with great disappointment. I will be replacing a '03 Cadillac CTS which had it share of problems and my other 04 SRX has been in the shop for the last 2 months and still is. I just do not want to do that again, not with a Jaguar.
Now I do not know what to do, I love the car and would love to get it. I find it hard to believe that Jaguar would put out such a problematic car.
Any words of encouragement?

I think that the problems were with the early models. Obviously there are owners that have not had any of these issues. It is a fabulous car in many ways. I just think a few of them have had issues. Mine is one of them. I am waiting to see how Jaguar resolves my issue, but I am sure there many owners that have no complaints whatsoever.

Thanks for the heads up. I guess I will be talking to my dealer about these issues and will ask him specifically about a"what if" scenario, even though I know that dealers do not always deliver what they promise. This would be my first non American car. In the past, GM customer services in Dubai have been outstanding with their support and responded to all my quires, GM Middle East is famous for this. So I also need to check on Jaguar customer service responsiveness in the region. Thanks once again.
