The XE is Jaguar's answer to the Audi A4 and BMW 3 Series - two class-leading executive saloons that have dominated this market segment for many years. It is the successor of the X-Type, offering improved handling and comfort for a reasonable price compared to premium rivals.

In 2017, the XE gained its 60th major global award, winning the Auto Express 'Compact Executive Car of the Year' title for the third consecutive year. Depending on your chosen engine, top speeds range from 120 to 150 mph, with a respectable 0-60 time of five to seven seconds.

Regarding reliability, the XE's record is average. In WhatCar?'s 2023 reliability survey, it came 17th out of 24 vehicles. Common problems include exhaust faults and non-electrical engine issues.

A typical car engine has around 200 parts, all of which must be maintained and replaced if they stop functioning correctly. As such, car engine repair is a broad term that covers a wide range of problems.

Signs of potential engine issues include loss of power, illumination of the check engine light, a knocking noise, excessive or discoloured exhaust smoke, overheating and frequent stalling. If an engine fault repair is needed, a mechanic will often conduct a diagnostic test first to determine which component is to blame.

You may be able to diagnose some problems yourself using this guide.

An engine oil leak repair is one of the most common jobs done by mechanics; other repairs might involve the engine management light or engine cooling system. Booking a car engine service from time to time is the best way to prevent problems from developing. Not only does it extend the life of components, it often saves you money in the long term, too.
