I was wondering if anyone has a pdf of the service manual for the 2008 XF?
The reason I am asking is there appears to be some electrical differences between the 08 (at least ours) and the pre 08 cars. One example is when folks are looking for that annoying battery drain. Everyone looks at fuse 9 since that feeds that siren and is known to be an issue.
On our car, that is on fuse 13, with 9 being the air bag control unit.
The owners manual matches the card in the lid of the fuse box.
I have the standard "04-08" service manual, and everything I can find online seems to be this generic manual, but obviously there were some changes made somewhere and would like to locate a manual that is as accurate as possible for obvious reasons. The manual I have does not have any addendums to cover things that are different like what I have found in the wiring.

Thanks and everyone have a great week.

 

I found a set of actual 2008 Service Manual books on e bay.
2008 Service Manuals

 

Thanks for the link. For some reason I just didn't even think of looking on ebay.
Found what is shown as the same as the link on cd so I bought that. I will let you know how it works out.
I just prefer to have them on cd since that allows me to do key word searches a lot faster. I can just print out the pages I need that way.

Thanks again for the mind jogger.
Have a great week.

 

Hope fully that works out and is not just a rehash of the 2004-2008 manuals.
Best of luck to you!

 

Well I got the cd and took a quick peek. It looks like it is the three manuals, and to be honest, we ( I ) will need to be very thorough when looking at some of the little changes. As an example, book one shows what I would call the general overview and will have generic stuff, but shows things like the darn alarm siren on fuse 9.
But when you actually look at volume two, it shows two different circuits one for export, and one for "except" export and ours in the US are the except export wiring. Hence it shows those on fuse 13. In the three books, there are also configurations for "europe" so glad I got this cd. I did post the specific page just so anyone interested can see what I am talking about.

Not sure when this change happened, but the more we know, the easier it is to troubleshoot things.

Thanks again and have a good summer.

 

Fascinating, I've never seen a breakdown of differences.
