Overall reliability

Supremely comfortable and refined

I’ve owned my xf portfolio for over two years and have covered 45k miles. I had it remapped when I bought it so now has 235-240 bhp . It was reasonably quick before the remap but is very quick now when you want it to be.
It is very refined for a 4 pot diesel compared with Merc’s I’ve owned. Real world fuel economy is circa 39 mpg mixed driving bout will give genuine high 40s on a sensibly driven long run.
Only issues have been egr valve and cooler replacement.
Electrical glitches are unfortunately fairly frequent . Parking sensors and camera failure which normally corrects itself . And more worryingly a refusal to lock no matter what you do ,again this corrects itself after being parked up .
I’ve learnt to live with these issues and believe they’re fairly common , but that aside I’ve decided to replace the car with another xf but go for a 3 litre v6 d this time .
