![]() ![]() If you do your own work it's blows high end German cars out of the water for maintenance costs. We know we shouldnt be shocked, but come. Other than that, it's legitimately a great system. Starting at 68,000, the XF Supercharged comes with the same 5.0-liter supercharged V8 as the XFR, albeit 'detuned' down to 470 hp and 424 lb-ft of torque. That's about a years maintenance, which is on par for the car. I spent $350 on a used fan, $200 to have a shop replace a line, $35 on coolant, and opted to upgrade the pipe for $225. My 2011 had it's brakes replaced for free when I got it used, and the entire cooling system is new now. Spent around $35 and replaced basically everything I could see just on the premise that the supercharger actuator line snapped in half. ![]() Definitely a must-have upgrade for longevity.Īlso if you're in a dry hot area inspect your lines for dry rot. Maybe $225 minus shipping and you'll be set for the life of the car. Plastic can chip off and nuke your engine. Replace it with OEM or spend $100 more and get a Mina Gallery replacement. The coolant system is definitely the weak point of the engine so I'd recommend you have that system scoured through.Īlso for the love of all things holy check your main charge pipe at the motor connection for cracking. Got the line fixed and did the fan myself. My coolant line busted and shorted my engine fan. My 2011 XJ has the same motor and charger. ![]()
