WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2020 Jaguar XE and 2019 Jaguar XE. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The front differential converts the 'angle of drive' through 90° and distributes drive, via the front drive halfshafts, to the front wheels.
The front differential is mounted on the left side of the engine. The differential is secured to the left side of the oil pan. The right halfshaft passes through the oil pan and is secured by the halfshaft support bracket which is bolted to the right side of the oil pan.
