Jaguar XF Fuel Pump: Specs, Fitment & Common Faults

Confirmed: a genuine, safety-critical recall addressed the low-pressure fuel feed hose potentially detaching, which could cause the engine to cut out with minimal warning — plus a separate recall for an outlet flange prone to cracking on earlier models.

OEM Part Number: confirm via VIN — fuel pumps (aftermarket) VDO 2803580182302 / Pierburg 7.21287.53.0

Accuracy note: Covers the Jaguar XF (X260 2015-) as listed in the UK aftermarket catalogues. In-tank fuel pumps are sold two ways: as a complete feed unit (the pump in its swirl pot with the fuel-level sender and float) or as a bare pump that is fitted into the old housing, and petrol and diesel versions are not interchangeable — most diesels have only a low-pressure lift pump in the tank, with the high-pressure pump on the engine. The references below are UK aftermarket catalogue listings for this generation, labelled by brand; genuine numbers are shown only where a listing quotes one. Check fuel type, the plug pin count and whether your car has one sender or two (saddle tanks on 4x4 and some larger cars) against your VIN before ordering.

Fuel pumps / feed units (aftermarket)	VDO 2803580182302 (complete petrol fuel feed unit / module); VDO 2803580152302 (complete petrol fuel supply module); Pierburg 7.21287.53.0 (in-tank petrol pump, 3 bar, 12 V / 6 A, 52 mm diameter, 160 mm long); Delphi FE0448-12B1 (bare in-tank petrol pump, metal housing, no pressure sensor, 179 mm long); ERA 770171A (in-tank pump, 4 bar / 140 l/h, 2 connectors, 52 mm); ERA 770162A (in-tank pump, 3.2 bar / 120 l/h, 2 connectors, 38 mm); Ridex 458F0040 (in-tank feed unit, 3.4 bar / 100 l/h, 2 connectors).
Types & variants	The two VDO units are the only complete petrol feed modules; the rest are bare in-tank pumps in 38 mm and 52 mm sizes. No diesel lift pump or diesel feed unit is listed for the 2.0 D, and no part is assigned to a specific engine.
Genuine (OE) numbers quoted	3111137300 (Hoffer 7506385, Meat & Doria 76385); 170429F500 (Hoffer 7506416, Meat & Doria 76416); 8450008680 (Kamoka 8410005). None is a Jaguar number; the VDO modules carry no OE reference.
Fitment notes	For a petrol XF the VDO modules are the only complete replacements, and the bare pumps are generic units whose fit into the original housing depends on matching diameter, ports and plug; the level sender is not included with the bare pumps.

Jaguar XF Fuel Pump: A Part That Fails at the Worst Possible Moments

On the Jaguar XF, this particular failure has a knack for terrible timing, stranding drivers mid-journey instead of giving fair warning while the car's parked up safely. Spotting the early signs early enough is what stands between a routine fix and a roadside breakdown.

Before you buy: fuel pump specifications vary by engine size and fuel type, and petrol/diesel versions are never interchangeable. Always confirm against your VIN before ordering.

Jaguar XF Fuel Pump: What It Does

Getting fuel from tank to engine at the correct combustion pressure is down to the fuel pump, and on the Jaguar XF that pump sits inside the tank, submerged in fuel. That location is exactly why swapping out such a small part is rarely a quick job.

Accuracy note: these are documented patterns by generation and engine family, not a substitute for confirming your exact engine code — always verify against your V5C before ordering, since petrol and diesel pumps are never interchangeable.

X250 (2007–2015), AJ-V6/V8 petrol & diesel	Spans both diesel (in-tank lift pump plus an engine-mounted high-pressure pump) and petrol (in-tank low-pressure pump, plus a separate high-pressure pump if direct-injection) variants — confirm your exact engine before ordering
X260 (2015–present), all Ingenium petrol & diesel	Spans both diesel (in-tank lift pump plus an engine-mounted high-pressure pump) and petrol (in-tank low-pressure pump, plus a separate high-pressure pump if direct-injection) variants — confirm your exact engine before ordering

Confirmed: A Genuine, Safety-Critical Recall Worth Checking Your Car Against — Jaguar XF Fuel Pump

This is genuinely worth checking directly on 2016 and certain 2017 model year diesel cars: a confirmed recall addressed the under-bonnet low-pressure fuel feed hose potentially detaching from the fuel filter. This can cause a fuel smell in the engine bay and, if the hose fully detaches, the engine can cut out with minimal warning, genuinely increasing the risk of a collision.

A genuinely honest, real account worth knowing about how this can recur: one documented UK case saw a car recovered after a sudden loss of power, with the dealer finding a modified fastener needed to be fitted to the fuel pipe — this was the car's second visit for a related issue within just three weeks.

It's also genuinely worth knowing about a separate, confirmed recall covering certain 2018 models fitted with a 2.0 litre petrol engine, where the fuel rail end caps could leak. There's also a separate, confirmed recall covering earlier models specifically, where a fuel tank outlet flange could crack over time, potentially triggering the check engine light and causing a fuel odour.
