Noticed my '06 XF seems riding rougher in the rear. I seem to remember some mention of a pump in the rear trunk doing "something or other!" I've searched around the web and unable to find anything. Was I having a dream or was it just plain old brain fog? Maybe, without checking, might be shocks or springs. Inquiring mind wants to know!

 

the pump in the trunk right side below the black Styrofoam works the locks, doors and trunk and if u ever had or have a water leak (rain)
it will short out and screw up everything, we Most of us remove the body plug in the bottom below the pump.
the only thing to change the ride is shocks, springs , and or bushings on the control arms. jim

 

Thanks Jim! You cleared up my "brain fog" and now remember the purpose of the pump! Mine pump works just fine and no leaks. Guess I'll have to pull a wheel or two off and investigate rear suspension to see if there's a problem or not.

 

if you need Miami Matt he will be in central Fl next week to fix a crossfire I think he said Orlando
and i think he is coming by my place, Indialantic ( in Melbourne) any way he now does
ALL my work,, getting to old to work, but just young enough to drive Lol, if U can't do your own work
he is the second in the country or tied with Rudy. they both know Mercedes/crossfire better than anyone.
pm me your Phone number if u want to talk to him i'll give him the # he never answers his phone. jim

 

Thanks but if I get "too old" to work on my two XF's it will be time to sell them. At 77 I know my time is nearing soon! Thanks

 

No No ,, at 82 I still run 10.50@ 132 with my V8 crossfire,,
and it is a daily driver, and I can still get under the car to do work,,,,
just can't get up after work is done . Lol
but i can still drive like i am 21. jim

 

Glad to here that your in good heath! Having all the "old man" problems that are seemingly getting worse monthly! When you lose your health you've pretty much lost everything!

 

your so right. I have been through a lot, colon cancer, prostate cancer, throat cancer, 7 heart attacks. and still going.,
best of health to you and Happy easter to you and family,. jim

 

Wow! Compared to you, I could be the poster child of a senior in perfect health! I cut my finger, popped a pimple on my nose and scraped my knee. LoL
