Looked at used '17 Jag XF-R sedan, 39K miles on it, with 2.0L Diesel. Never owned a diesel, and not many Jags, or dealers, to be found. My question is, are these motors/cars problematic?
That engine is noisy and it defeats the purpose of getting a Jaguar it encompassing everything that Jaguar is NOT.Looked at used '17 Jag XF-R sedan, 39K miles on it, with 2.0L Diesel.

I shied away from a beautiful bmw 328d last year. 4 cyl turbo diesel in a European sedan... at first I was /smitten/. Then I started doing the research. A blown high pressure fuel pump would send shrapnel throughout the fuel system, resulting in replacement of anything diesel touches. $12k job by the dealer. No. the vehicle would be economically viable for the length of the used car warranty.
Curious if the emissions systems and standards are the same. Historically, Europe was favorable to diesels, but not sure about recent history whereas the US got aggressive on passenger diesels over the past few years probably because clean diesel would threaten someone's all electric dreams, but I digress....My Father had one for 5 years, bought it brand new in 2012 and put over 170k on the clock until he replaced it with an Alfa Romeo Giulia in 2017. Nothing went wrong with it, at all! It had oil changes every 20k to 25k and used the cheapest diesel he could find. I was 19 when he originally bought it and used to drive it like it was stolen on a regular basis.
Because of that car I went and bought my G31 BMW 520d. They're absolutley fantastic cars.
Lots of Ingenium engines here in the UK. I've never heard any horror stories and they're generally quite reliable.
Here’s why.... I love how they drive. I favor engines that do torque down low. The turbo gassers now demonstrate that to a degree... and I quite enjoy my eco boost for the same reason. I liked the Jetta tdi for the same reason, but have scars from previous VW experiences and shied away from them. Just a drivers preference, in my case.As said the 2.0 diesel is the ingenium engine that is a JLR Maclaren design. I don’t know why anyone in America would buy a diesel outside of a superduty type truck for towing.
Good choice, now tell us about the ultralight/light sport?Many thanks to all of you for the feedback. I'm convinced the Jag diesel is not for me. But hold on, all of you, I'll be searching other interesting cars in the near future and will once again be asking for info.

Do modern diesels use DEF there?
When you use "k", are those miles or kilometers
I did some researched before buying my used 2018 Jaguar XF by reading info on Jaguar forums , Youtube Test drives and Youtube owners info after several years of service. The old problematic Jaguars & Land Rovers as we know of today are gone ever since they were bought by Tata Motors in 2008. I was looking for both 4 cylinder gas and diesel but ended up buying a gas/petrol engine because of the price, exterior & interior color. According to my research the only common problem on the Jaguar diesel is the clogging of DPF. If you are a high mileage driver this diesel engine is for you & if you are not, stay away. According to the guy who sold my used XF at Vroom (Houston dealership), they can't get enough inventory of Jaguars because they sell quickly off their parking lot. My only advise, join the Jaguar forums first and ask all the info of what you need to know and watch some Youtube videos pertaining to the car itself. So far, I really liked mine & at 33K+ miles I'm really impressed by it. Also, to my surprise, it still looked new after applying car wax.Looked at used '17 Jag XF-R sedan, 39K miles on it, with 2.0L Diesel.

Partly for the novelty of it. Partly the fuel efficiency. Partly the power.As said the 2.0 diesel is the ingenium engine that is a JLR Maclaren design. I don’t know why anyone in America would buy a diesel outside of a superduty type truck for towing.
