  1. So an update.... Had the engine cleaned by a local Carbon Cleaner and the engine seemed to run smoother (although this could be a bit of a red herring I suppose). Drove the car for 3 days with the code cleared and everything seemed fine. That is until today when the dreaded "DSC Restricted Performance" error popped up again. Stopped the car, checked for fault codes...nothing! Started the car again, and the error was gone and the car drove completely fine. It was as if the car had a temporary mental flashback and decided to let me know! Since then (and until today) it randomly pops the DSC error up on the dashboard, at completely random times, and clears as soon as I stop/start the engine. Buggered if I know what is going on - so its going into the local Jag specialist Monday. The annoying thing is I really want to trust this car, especially as I regularly drop the kids to various activities and just can't rely on it at the moment. Here's hoping it's not an expensive fix on Monday.....possibly EGR replacement?
  2. Thanks Peter, I'll make a mental note about the additive. I have actually arranged for a engine cleaning specialist to pop over tomorrow lunchtime - so will see how that gets on. Thanks for your help.
  3. Hi, After searching many forums I thought I'd try my luck here as you seem a helpful bunch! After a couple weeks of owning my Jag XF 2.7D (2008), I got the dreaded warning on the Dashboard: "DSC not available - Restricted Performance", with the "DSC" light on, followed by the yellow Check Engine light. After some research it seems that the Battery might be the issue, so I got this swapped out for a brand new one. Unfortunately this didn't fix the problem as the engine light was still on, and the DSC light came back on after driving a few miles. Bought a cheap ODB2 reader from Amazon (they're great - it was delivered next day!) and the only code that came up was P140A, which I researched to be a problem with the EGR Valve. Although since it is a cheap OBD2 reader - I suppose there could be other codes just not showing up. I am by no means a mechanic (or even a good DIYer) but I am willing to give anything reasonable a try. What are your thoughts on fixing this (aside from taking it to the local Jag Indy which I am thinking of doing anyway). Is it worth trying to clean the EGR sensor which I read somewhere else? Also read that cleaning the MAF might help? Appreciate your thoughts all. Thanks
  4. Hi Everyone, Recently bought my first Jag after many years of wanting to own one. New to this site and Jaguar's in general so forgive me for the noobie questions I might have. Me: Jaguar XF 2.7 Diesel '08 Premium Luxury Cheers
  5. Morning all, Just joined the forum, after buying my first Jaguar (wanted one for years). Hope I am not too annoying with the noob questions I will no doubt have - so thanks in advance! Me: Jaguar XF 2.7D '08 Cheers!
