The XF (X260, from 2016) is the aluminum-intensive second-generation XF. It uses 2.0-liter Ingenium engines, the 3.0-liter supercharged V6 and diesels, with an 8-speed automatic and rear- or all-wheel drive.
Model year 2018 is part of the second-generation XF (X260) (2016–2024). Most procedures are shared with the other years of this generation, but engines, options and wiring changed from year to year, so the manual is made for the 2018 model year.
Check the model year on your VIN: on a 2018 vehicle the 10th character of the 17-digit VIN is “J”. Vehicles built for North America always carry the model year in that position; on some European or Australian vehicles it may be left unused, so in that case go by the registration papers or the build plate.
At about 8 years old, a 2018 vehicle is usually past its basic warranty. Typical jobs at this age are brakes, suspension parts, fluids, the 12V battery and diagnosing sensor faults with the factory wiring diagrams.
Same generation: 2016 Jaguar XF, 2017 Jaguar XF, 2019 Jaguar XF, 2020 Jaguar XF, 2021 Jaguar XF, 2022 Jaguar XF, 2023 Jaguar XF, 2024 Jaguar XF.
