So as some of you know im looking for a differential for my 4.2 Supercharged XF, are all 2.7 Diesel XFs the same differential?? Can someone confirm with the vins ?

My vin is SAJXA07C191R13824.

A differential im looking at is from SAJAC051597R27157

 

yes, the same. there is far better options to fix car permanently than replacing it with same issues diferential. been there , done that.

 

What is the fix that you did? I was planning on swapping out all the bearings etc

 

Shoot all rabbit with one shot. I replaced propshafts, driver shafts and diferential (also whole subframe- but it snot nessesary) to limited slip diferential (from F-type)

a 400+ HP car with open diferential was a joke done by Jaguar. never thought Englishmans had such interesting sense of humor. luckily they get more seriuolsy after this joke and released XFR. but then they made new joke and replaced 10 years finetuned engine with new fresh designs. Love brits they never let us sleep well..

P.S. My friends who had same isse never solved it permanently, replacing with same aprts- leak again, changed seal- leaks again etc.

 

The seal isn't the issue, its the bearings inside at the very least how much did the f type stuff cost and same gear ratio?? All f types are much newer no ?

 

usualy first seals then bearings. or both. pelnty of problems with those diff. you can fit older gen (not vistoen but alread GKN) but they also fails. gear ration is diferent, need reporgaming in SDD

 

I guess you did this in england some where i dont have resources for Jags out here in Canada.

 

UK citizens never joke on UK jokes no, i did this in Europe. Plenty of parts. car drives like new engine isntalled now.

 

Im gonna stick to rebuilding it
