Default XF owner beautiful and then WHOMP! Injectors?

Bought a gorgeous 2011 XF Premium with one prior owner and a loving service record. I mean, really excellent. Three months into owning her and WHOMP! Restricted performance and flashing engine light. Got it to an independent Jag mechanic and the engine will NOT turn. Checked everything. The engine will turn by hand, but the 4th injector is sticking open and spraying all over. Two weeks into it and he's thrown up his hands. Taking it to a dealer. So what the devil? Why would the injector not close? Is that a proper mechanical issue or a computer issue? Mechanic says he has the code, but he cannot fix the computer. Off to the dealer tomorrow. If anyone has experience with this issue, can you tell me what to expect? Replace one injector? All of them? Is it a computer code issue? Is my new cat DOA?? So bummed. Prior to this there were zero issues and she drives like fingertips on velvet.

Welcome to the Forums.

You have not stated where you are, markets vary on these beasts.

Is it a 4cyl, V6 or V8, or maybe Diesel?, that is important.

The Members in the XF (X250) Tech Section will have answers.

Good luck.

Thank you very much for the warm welcome and guidance, Grant and Daf11e

I'm in Texas, my car is a V8, not diesel. I will try reposting this to the suggested thread with more information. I'm very grateful to find this site - apologies for the newb bumbling
