I am suffering from an intermittent low fuel gauge warning - tends to stay on for a couple of days, then works ok, but now seems to be on permanently - have been told it is subject of a jaguar bulletin - anyone got details??

 

hi richard

you could try a reset by taking the black lead off the battery and leave off for ten minuets

but before you do this make sure you have the radio code

TREVOR

I have researched it and there is a Jaguar Bulletin been issued. It is a problem with condensation under the floor and on top of the fuel tank which causes the contacts on the top of the transmitter to short out. It is a simple fix - need to remove the 4 connectors and clean, refitting with new shrink fit waterproof connectors. the problem is you need to remove the back seat first!!!.

did you ever get this sorted as im having the very same issue?

 

thanks

Yes got it sorted by a local jaguar enthusiasts garage :) - he did it under a warranty from Lex Black horse motors where I bought the car from - £175, but he's still waiting for his money from the insurance after 7 weeks!!

Cool what's the issue then wiring is it?

Well this is a problem that I had. The answer was to change the battery in the key fob..........stupid I know.......but that was the problem

Just had this problem on my 2011 XF and thanks to you guys it saved the mechanic a lot of time and bother. He said that the problem had been caused by a magnet that had come away from its fixing on a chipboard on the fuel pump that he accessed from under the back seats. He put the magnet back, gave the chipboard a clean, crimped all of the wires for good measure and charged me £60 for labour only. To top it off, I've got more fuel left than I thought I did. Wahaay!
