Bet you didn't know this about the Jaguar XF Pt 1

Hi Hilton do you know why jaguar xf display screen wont turn on

Mr.hilton, recently I was ready to buy a Jaguar xf 2011 petrol , so I found that car has a engine restricted , owner said .He ll fix it by Jaguar company will sell to me..So I want your advice about it ? Is it okay to I buy it after repaired or what ? Please help. The reason I want to buy that car.. Except engine problem , car condition as really good , everything exterior and interior , so what should I do? Any advice would help me to think about the car

@@c57k.c.k.kumara9 I would not buy it. The reason the seller is selling is probably due to struggling with that issue for a while now. Restricted performance could be a long list of issues and not just isolated to one problem. Most XF's are good inside and out condition wise, but you need one that is in good mechanical condition as well. This one isn't. You could be in for a long time of trying to chase a problem the previous seller couldn't fix. If he could, it would be fixed wouldn't it? Rather look for another one. It isn't worth the financial pain. Sorry, not what you want to hear, but with patience, you will find the XF of your dreams.

@@carfanfan thank you so much .. Appreciate your advice , so I ll forget about it..Just wait for another one, to be honest. I always have been dreaming about Jaguar , which I can effort is xf , but with your advice , I decided to wait for sometimes and go for another one , and thanks for the advice , really appreciate it 🙏🙏 , any do u know jaguars r really expensive in my country , Sri Lanka , that Jaguar xf 2011 petrol , mileage 52650km , cost 31 000 USD 😭😭😭😭

Hi there, I have a question about.. i have a jag xf 2012 i bought it this about a year ago. Car is fine but problem is with their back sensors. Whenever i put on reverse gear. My car sound beep and screen restart it self but engine stay on like normal. My local mechanic suggest me i should replace my car sensors or wiring loop. But sensor still working. But he is not sure 100% .. any suggestion would be really appreciated thanks

any time mate, thanks for watching ;)

Thanks for watching ;-)

Hey Ben, congrats on your new purchase. You are going to love that car. Its one of the most reliable Jags you'll ever buy.

Keith Hall LoL, it must be the heat Keith. It was 37 degrees celcius today and I took the Jag out to collect people at the airport. They didn't want to leave the cool interior of my XF when they realized how hot it was when we arrived home 😁 Incidentally, the 8th one is the alarm unit in the dash 😉

Hey Nick. I have indeed. I don't use that function anymore so I don't really mind much 😁

the next step songs I wish I could but I don't have a hoist otherwise I'd be doing more stuff myself.

Here's the company that do them www.partcatalog.com/car-door-molding-set-painted.html

Hey Sherry, I seriously doubt its the computer. These will typically last a lifetime until the car. I'd suggest focusing attention on the fob itself. Check the batteries with a tester firstly to check they are indeed 3.27v (I bought several brand new batteries from the same outlet once and all of them were bad and I also thought my car was faulty) - bought keyfob batteries at another outlet and voila - my keyfob worked properly again. Make sure to get Energizer Lithium Ion CR2032 batteries - these are the best. If you know 100% for sure it's not the batteries, then test the keyfob from 20 meters away from the car - if it doesn't lock/unlock from that distance - your fob is faulty and you may need to replace the fob.

Thanks mate. I don't have the car anymore but I recall it was pearl Grey metallic. Code LMN. Check the Vin sticker as will give you the paintbcode and then have the color pen made for that code otherwise you won't have a match.

Thanks for watching Walt - I'll do one next time Jaguar give me a courtesy car. This might be quite soon as my car has to go back to them for that coolant hose they replaced - the new hose is leaking as well, so they will have to do a warranty claim on it.

Looking forward to seeing that video, the Jag displays seem very non-intuitive to me and I need some enlightenment.......

Sorry. Never had any issues with ecu

You don't have to change the covers. They have oxidized. All they need is a polish. Search headlight restoration and you will see how it's done. They will look like new afterwards. But I would recommend getting a professional to do it for you.

Thank you! Also, not sure if you had this problem before but when I turn on the climate control, the 4 units will randomly flip open and I need to manually push open those that still remain closed.

Congratulations on your purchase. Unfortunately I don't know of a good solution.

Hey Willie, thanks for watchin'. Not sure what you been by scrubbing? Do you mean it makes a squeaking or screeching noise going up and down? If that's the case, try spraying some silicone spray on the inside of the glass and turn the window up and down a few times - keep wiping the silicone off the glass each time until it stops leaving streaks on the glass - you might have to do it one more time again in a few months, but it should stop doing it after that.

The module that controls all the keyfob modules can be a little slow sometimes. Mine does it too, so I usually just keep pressing the unlock button for passengers. Usually though, its only me in the car, so don't even use the keyfob half the time. Its a little XF quirk :)

You need to turn double un-locking off. Hilton made a mistake in pointing out the unlocking button and calling it locking 🙄

That IS a fun fact. Thanks for sharing. This is what I'd like everyone to do. To share something not all of us know. Thank you 🤗

Thanks for that info. I didn't know that 😉. Slot can happen in ten seconds tho, mine had a red button on the fob for emergencies and that did the same thing, but it was immediate.

Search for Jaguar XF lower dash cover or lower under dash cover. I see eBay have many 2nd hand ones.

@@carfanfan Thanks Hilton & Happy new year my friend!

@@joshb9657 Happy New Year mate

That's odd. There could be something wrong with one of your window regulators.

@@carfanfan Just looked it up since mine is in the US apparently its a safety violation here so they have it so we cant use them here in the US :/

@@cumminsturbo98 Wow, thanks for sharing. Very interesting. I'm sure this will help many others who read the comments here as well. I will also mention it in a future video.

They're not supposed to get hot. Not to the touch at least. If they are frosty due to cold weather and you turn on the defroster, you will notice them clear up. If notnworking, they will stay foggy. You can remove the mirror and put a multimeter to the wire terminals to check if any power is supplied to them as well.

Unfortunately not. I used to have it on my 2009 Cadillac CTS. But Jaguar never fitted something like that to any of their cars. Pity actually.

@@carfanfan yessss Thank you!!!

Philip Pope Congratulations on your purchase. To put it sport, press down on the dial and turn it to sport. Or just tap the paddle behind the steering wheel and then you're in manual mode. To get out of manual mode just hold the + paddle for a few seconds.

erobles396010 I would think the 2012 has even more functionality. Take a look on your menu under vehicle settings and scroll down to check out the options. As far as I know this feature was standard on all models.

Yes mate go to settings global open close everything on and enjoy pressing them. Hold triangle for long time that help you to find you car at shopping centre

Thanks for the reply but i cant get it to work with the remote for some reason

I'd suggest taking another look at my video where I show the menu where to find the option on your XF's menu screen "vehicle options" - if you don't have the option listed there, then you can't manually turn it on or off yourself. I would then recommend to chat to your dealer to activate it using the OBDII programming software they have as they can add it to the menu. They mention in the manual of the XF that if you don't see the options there, the dealer can add them for you ;-) - hope this helps.

erobles396010 Do you have the option on your screen to set window global open or close.

You can't unfortunately. If your battery is dead, try hooking up jumper cables to another car's battery to get the glove box open ;-)

Wow, I'm surprised your 15 doesn't work properly. My car was a 2009 model and everything still worked like new.

@@carfanfan I'm going to have to try that specifically, because I know if I get in my car, someone can't get in the passenger side unless i hit the button in the middle of the dash... I can't lock and unlock the doors by manually operating the lock on my driver side door. Gotta double check that double tapping the open on the remote opens everything. I thought it was supposed to, now I'll have to check and make sure i'm not doing something wrong. That said, you could literally lock someone in your car with this feature and unless the break a window, they're trapped. I can't imagine how that would be possible.

This was a 2009 model. Sold it since and now have an 2011 XFR.

No this was a 3L V6. But now I have an XFR for sure. Watch my latest video😜

Thanks Nick 😊

Try this procedure. It worked when I programmed mine many years ago. "Procedure 1. Open the boot lid and drivers door, and switch on the ignition. Press central locking switch (in the centre console) 5 times. The siren will chirp to indicate it has entered learning mode. 2. Press the lock button of the remote, the system will chirp to confirm it has received the remote. 3. To program further remotes, press the central locking switch once. The system will chirp twice for remote number two, then press the lock button of the remote as above. 4. Wait for 30 seconds for the system to close and chirp twice."

I stand corrected, thanks for clearing that up. You are 100% correct 👍

No prob. I think the 2 Stage Unlocking is a very good thing to have on a keyless entry car, in case you get to an unsafe situation when going to the parking lot.

Interesting 😊👍

The 4.2 was a great engine, had one my 2006 XJ8, and while many dislike the S-Type I have always thought they were good looking, especially the facelifted 2005 and up, and the S-type R is gorgeous...

😂🤣 most people don't read the manual and it's the 2nd most expensive purchase they'll never make. Also, these videos beers mainly for people who don't drive Jags. Hoping to convert some 🤣

Hey Emmanual. Sounds like the wire has broken. The usual culprit is where the wire runs from the body of the car in the trunk channel to the trunk lid. It's a black rubber concertina type thing that you need to pull back to reveal the wires. You will quickly see which wire is broken - that will be your camera wire. You can solder it and patch it up again and it should work again ;)

@@carfanfan alright, thanks.

@@carfanfan Hi, thanks for all the previous advice, they worked ! Meanwhile, keyless entry doesnt work with my car and the car demands docking the key before it could start engine. Is there anything I can do to make it work like you mentioned in your video ? Thanks in advance.

@@emmanueljohnson9014 key docking is rather a serious request from the car. Have you changed the battery on the key fob? It's possible the key needs to be reset to the car.

@@carfanfan yes I changed the batteries on both keys, how do I reset it ?

"Procedure 1. Open the boot lid and drivers door, and switch on the ignition. Press central locking switch (in the centre console) 5 times. The siren will chirp to indicate it has entered learning mode. 2. Press the lock button of the remote, the system will chirp to confirm it has received the remote. 3.

Wait for 30 seconds for the system to close and chirp twice."

Mel B Well, yes, I wouldn't set the global window open either if my car stood outside at night. And one of the reasons I did these videos is because it's a pike at virtually everyone who buys a car and doesn't read the manual. When we buy a kettle, we read manual right? Why not something as complex as a car 😁

What for, so speed cameras can read them better 🤣

Hey there. It has a "sweet spot" where you need to push on the gas flap. Make sure your XF is unlocked, then, while standing in front of the gas flap, put your finger in the middle and move it half way to the left about a Centimetre and a half from the left edge, press firmly for a second or so and it will open. Don't prod it quickly because it won't respond. This was one of things I hated about the XF. Filling up was a drag!

Hilton you are a genius. Just opened.. thanks and keep with the good work bro... I have an 09, the windows seems to be able to go down with remote but can’t go up..

@@felixboateng Hey there, the auto up and down function on remote only works if your windows are all set to to go up and down with one touch via the driver's door window switches. Your auto down is probably set for all of them but not up. To set this for each window, use the driver's window controls and while the windows are up, press the drivers door window switch and hold it until the window is down and you hear a faint click, then pull the switch to close the window and hold it in the up position until the window is closed and you hear a faint click. Repeat this for each window on the driver's door window controls and the keyfob open and close function should work properly.

09 don’t seem to have the side mirror down option. Can you show how that’s done please?

Doesn’t have the window fold back in the options

It's not good news. The electronic door latch will have to be replaced and it's not an easy job.

You have to push it on the far end closest to the rear of the car. Push gently, but firmly and it will open. Don't push it fast, otherwise it won't respond. Jaguar fixed this with the facelift models, but it has always been an issue with the older XF's.

The reverse camera can't be set. It simply comes on when you put the selector in R and goes off when you put it back in PD or N

Press and hold the recycle button for more than 3 seconds and it will stay on permanently while driving. It will reset when you turn the car off again. 😉

@@carfanfan Oh that will help haha. Many thanks 🙏

My guess is for safety reasons. People do the weirdest things and manufacturers have to think of literally every danger and possibility that could harm an owner to prevent lawsuits. Having said that, there are many cars one can remote start like GM and Dodge cars. My CTS used to have remote start and it was great for hot days to run the ac before getting in and driving away. Same could be said for winter and heating the car.

This is why I quit youtube

LoL

Robbie and Danika vlogs To be honest I have several times but just can't let it go. Its part of the family and ingrained in my DNA 😁

Hilton thanks for the reply, I completely understand what you saying. She is in awesome condition and you looking after her well. Hopefully soon I wil be a owner of an Jaguar XF aswell :)

Nope - I had no idea what it was for until I tried it one day. Most people don't use these little conveniences on their cars when needed so the video is to remind them ;)

@@carfanfan To be fair my old Volvo S60 had the same thing, but on that car the front side lights and tail lights came on for 30 seconds. Kinda funny actually, I had it for 9 years but only just found out a few weeks ago that you could make the headlight come on for a short while when you left the car by turning the ignition off then pulling the main beam lever towards you. I bet a lot of Volvo owners don't know about that one!

@@severnsea 🤣 Volvo owners, are ya watching? 😉

Perhaps you can give me some tips on how to sound like a young BBC presenter.

Smart-ass 😊

Well thank you. I wear my idiot cap with pride 🤣

No, but my guess is it probably needs a squirt of silicone spray inside. Pull the handle all the way out and spray into the mechanism. See if that helps 😉

Yes, you are right. I meant 2 stage locking in my video. My apologies. Double locking super locks the doors and arms the motion sensors inside the car whereas 2 stage locking unlocks only the driver's door and another press unlocks the rest.

2008

Hey Philip, sorry to hear. Mine was quite reliable until I sold it. It did start needing a few things, but that's understandable considering the age and mileage. Most cars need attention at around 60,000 miles - that's why the warranty ends there LoL.

Thanks. I'll work on both

@@carfanfan please keep it as is...... baie dankie....love South Africa!
