Problems:

Oil leaks
V8 engines, particularly in high-performance vehicles like the Jaguar XK, are prone to oil leaks due to high pressures and temperatures within the engine.
Supercharger issues
The "S/C" in the engine info indicates a supercharged engine, which can experience problems such as supercharger belt wear, bearing failure, and coolant leaks.
Timing chain tensioner failure
V8 engines, especially those from Jaguar around this model year, often face issues with the timing chain tensioner, which can lead to severe engine damage if not addressed.
Valve cover gasket failure
The V-shaped configuration can make it prone to valve cover gasket leaks, causing oil to seep into the engine bay.
Cooling system problems
High-performance engines like this one often experience cooling system issues, including radiator, thermostat, and water pump failures, which can lead to overheating.
Ignition coil failure
V8 engines with high brake horsepower can put extra strain on ignition coils, leading to misfires and rough idling.
Fuel injector problems
High-performance engines like the one in the Jaguar XK can suffer from clogged or malfunctioning fuel injectors, which can affect engine performance and fuel efficiency.
Emissions system issues
The "ULEV" (Ultra-Low Emissions Vehicle) designation means the vehicle has complex emissions control systems that can be prone to failures, resulting in check engine lights and potential performance issues.

Problems:

Oil leaks
Jaguar XK models, particularly with V8 engines, are known to have issues with oil leaks, often from the valve cover gaskets and oil pan.
Timing chain tensioner failure
The V8 engines in some Jaguars have been known to have problems with the timing chain tensioner, which can lead to serious engine damage if not addressed.
Supercharger issues
Since the engine is supercharged (S/C), there can be problems with the supercharger system, including bearing wear and failure of the supercharger nose cone.
Coolant leaks
Coolant leaks are a common issue, often originating from the water pump, thermostat housing, and radiator.
Engine misfires
Misfires can occur due to ignition coil failure, which is common in the V8 engines of this model.
Carbon buildup
Direct injection engines, like the one in the Jaguar XK, can suffer from carbon buildup on the intake valves, leading to reduced performance and efficiency.
Fuel pump problems
Fuel pump failures can be an issue, leading to starting problems and engine performance issues.
Emission control issues
As this engine is classified as ULEV (Ultra-Low Emission Vehicle), there can be issues with the emission control systems, including the catalytic converter and oxygen sensors.

Problems:

Oil leaks
V-shaped engines, especially those with superchargers, can develop oil leaks around the valve covers and gaskets.
Overheating
The compact design of V-shaped 8-cylinder engines in performance cars like the Jaguar XK can lead to inadequate cooling if not maintained properly.
Timing chain issues
Supercharged engines with high performance often experience more stress, potentially leading to timing chain wear or failure.
Fuel injector problems
High-performance engines such as the one in the 2015 Jaguar XK may suffer from clogged or failing fuel injectors, affecting performance and efficiency.
Supercharger wear
The supercharger (S/C) in this engine might wear out over time, requiring regular maintenance to ensure optimal performance.
Emission system faults
As a ULEV (Ultra-Low Emission Vehicle), the engine's emission control systems can be complex and prone to faults if not properly maintained.
