Hello all,
I recently treated myself to a 16 plate Jaguar XE 2.0 180 d with 37k on the clock. Just today I have noticed that when stopped on the brake pedal the car has made a very noticeable judder when I select D, R and even in N it is still there. Any help from anyone regarding this matter would be gratefully recoeverecieved.

 

Is it AWD?

 

It is rear wheel drive.

 

Juddering or vibration when in D or R, while stationary is usually motor/transmission mount failed or the vacuum tubes connected to them have loosened or split.

Vibrating in N is a bit of a puzzle though. How is the car in Park? Do you have any sort of warranty?

HTH

 

It's generally better in N and very noticeable in D and R. The vacuum tube connections being loose do sound like a common problem when I've done my research so I'll start there...fingers crossed It's just a loose connection.

Thank you for your advice ut is very much appreciated.

 

Is the juddering intermittent? Ie, does it seem to be idling fine and then every now and then feels like it might stall but then corrects?

I have this problem when sitting at lights but seems to go if you flip the dial in to N or P

 

It seems to be happening most of the time now.

 

I have to say, I would be pretty pissed if mine was doing this at the sort of mileage you are on. I have just hit 120k so I do tolerate a bit of clunkyness.

I had a new timing chain at just over 100k and this seemed to help for a bit, but not for long.

i love the car and have had plenty of trouble free miles out of it but now I seem to have hit the point at which all the repair bills are pretty big. You certainly shouldn't be at that stage yet though.
