Gearbox fault coil light flashing

[G-Dog72]

Bought a jaguar x type 2.2 diesel auto and all was good but just recently the coil light flashes and gearbox fault on the dashboard and goes into limp mode but been told its probably the turbo actuator  if so can anyone let me know is this easy to replace and which one to get ?

Hi Graeme and welcome.

First thing to do is get the DTC fault codes read. It is an easy DIY job once you have a cheap code reader from Amazon or eBay. Alternatively a garage should do a diagnostic for you at a reasonable price. Once you have the code you will have a much better idea as to what the problem is and how to fix it.

Good luck

Yes I've got one on order but I might just go for the mr muscle route in the turbo

Personally I would not dream of any such action, and even if feeling reckless enough to do so, I wouldn't until I had a proper diagnosis (rather than someone thinking "it is probably the turbo actuator") on the basis I could make things a lot lot worse.....
