#398 of 424 engine noise by dphil Jun 05, 2009 (2:31 pm)
New Xf with less than 3000 mis. The engine seems to make ALOT of noise eminating from the rear. Maybe it's not the engine but the drive train. Anyone else with similar problem? It sounds very whiny.

#400 of 424 Re: Recent XF luxury deal [jjgallagher] by jag_gal Jun 08, 2009 (4:48 pm)
Replying to: jjgallagher (Nov 18, 2008 8:37 pm) You've had your XF for 7 months now-are you happy with it?   Would also be interested in hearing from anyone else who has had their XF for some time. Any issues?   I've had an XJ8 for 10 years (love the car despite the $$ maintenance). It's time for a new car. Nothing is wowing me except for the XF (I've looked at Mercedes, BMW, etc.) I'm a little reluctant to to get the XF given it's a new model though--no data on reliability. Would appreciate all input to get me off the fence. Replies to this message: jjgallagher (Jun 08, 2009 7:14 pm) woofbite (Oct 15, 2009 6:20 am)

Replying to: jag_gal (Jun 08, 2009 4:48 pm) I have to admit, I love it. I am not the car person in my family, my husband has that role all sewn up. I am more about the deal, but I do like to be comfortable. I have had Mercedes, BMW, Lexus and Porsche. I picked this car after lots of research, but bottom line is it's gorgeous and really fun to drive.   No problems so far except a minor recall for the fuel filler door which was easily fixed by the dealer during my oil change.    I would absolutely buy it again. Oh, and I have 8k miles on it.

Replying to: drjmak (May 12, 2009 7:47 pm) Where did you get that deal? I am looking to lease a demo to get my payment lower. Thanks for your help
#403 of 424 Fuel Issues by hush Jul 07, 2009 (9:16 pm)
The owners manual says NO ETHANOL !! If used it may void your warranty. Where can you go anymore that doesnt have at least 10% ethanol in the gas?? Can you put an additive in your tank if your forced to use this crap they pedal as "good for the enviroment", that protects your car?

Replying to: hush (Jul 07, 2009 9:16 pm) As far as I know, all grades of gasoline in the US can contain up to 10 % ethanol, not "at least 10%". Except for E85 fuel, which is 85% ethanol, the actual amount of ethanol present is about 7 %. The purpose of the ethanol is to reduce tailpipe emissions, but also to reduce our dependence on imported oil. Also ethanol is an octane booster; ethanol has a blending octane rating of about 105.   There is no additive which could remove the ethanol or protect a fuel system not designed for 10% ethanol in gasoline. The harmful effects of up to 10% ethanol gasoline on the fiberglass and epoxy resin fuel tanks of boats is well known. Marinas reportedly supply ethanol-free gasoline.   Could you quote the specific reference ( giving page, section and year model) in the Jaguar manual which states "NO ETHANOL"?

Replying to: hush (Jul 07, 2009 9:16 pm) I do believe that the instruction booklet said that you can use up to 10% ethanol. I had the same concern.
#406 of 424 Ethanol ? Re: Fuel Issues [jim314] by rayainsw Jul 08, 2009 (5:22 am)
Replying to: jim314 (Jul 07, 2009 11:38 pm) Alternative fuels   Ethanol   Fuels containing up to 10% Ethanol (grain alcohol) may be used. Ensure that the fuel has octane ratings no lower than those recommended for unleaded fuel. Most drivers will not notice any operating difference with fuel containing Ethanol. If a difference is detected, the use of conventional unleaded fuel should be resumed.   XF manual .pdf = page 167 \ Fuel and refueling

Replying to: jim314 (Jul 07, 2009 11:38 pm) Thanks for clearing that up! Its been quite a challenge while travelling to find gas with no ethanol! And as far as your reference to dependency on foreign oil, We should simply lift the idiotic enviromental regs placed on U.S oil companies and produce the Trillions (yes, TRILLIONS) of barrels of oil from here in our own backyards. But hey, this is a Jag forum, not a soap box, so my apologies! Thanks again for the response! Replies to this message: jim314 (Jul 10, 2009 12:14 am)
