Default Gearbox whine

F-type 2.0 Ingenium engine, has developed a low pitch moan or whine around 1500 - 2500 rpm, especially noticeable when slowing down gradually through the gears (automatic box). One of these noises you can't quite put a finger on, does not do these when revving slowly through the revs when in neutral, hence think it is in the transmission. Any help?

Does the frequency of the whine change when you shift gears, or does the frequency depend entirely on the road speed. If the former, you have a transmission problem. If the latter, it’s a differential problem.

It does not seem to depend on road speed as such and is most noticeable when, say, you decelerate slowly, without braking, and as it changes down through the gears the noise comes in at the rev. range around 1500 to 2000rpm. You can only hear this when the engine, itself, is relatively quiet, that is, if you accelerate the exhaust noise will drown it out (it probably is still there, though!) At those revs the frequency of the "moan" stays the same. If it helps, the perception is that the sound seems to emanate from the front of the car on the passenger side.

Thanks for your interest.

Booked the car in today for them to look at this, they can't take me until May 1st.! - must be a lot of Jags needing attention! I will print out this thread to see if it helps diagnose.

Where are you located? Time to find a new dealer. A one month wait seems to be excessive.

i had the same problem in my f-type 2.0.
the whining is more notorious in 104 to 115km/h in highway.

Jaguar after 10 days of analsys say its the eletronic DIF, and order new one under waranty.

Can you all write what was your dealer resolution ?

The 2.0 has an ELSD like the 5.0?
