Most common 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.
