I have a 2009 XF luxury 2.7 diesel.

The display screen that you use to control the stereo, heating sat nav etc keeps flicking on and off.

The radio doesn't work and nor does the parking sensors, it's like it is trying to boot up then shuts down then tries to boot up again but switches off.

The heaters work but you can't see the display to set the temperature.

It is not a DAB stereo Just the standard FM/AM 

It is a 2009 (58) plate luxury, heated windscreens were not standard fitment on these models

Hi, I had the same problem, 

it’s probably the windscreen leaking,

On the inside of the car look where the  A pillars touch the screen, you’ll see the electrodes for the heated screen poking out, there’s 4 of them,  (2 each side) this is probably where waters coming in, my windscreen had 5 leaks,the way to check where water is coming in is like this,

buy a half car cover, fit it and jet wash the car, if it leaks then you know it’s from the scuttle down,

if it doesn’t leak then it must be from scuttle up, which can only be windscreen or sunroof

thanks

 

I don't have a heated screen nor sunroof

I have a 2009 XF 2.7 luxury, 

Last sumer I washed the car and water leaked in behind the carpets in the passenger side and blew the bluetooth module. After removing the carpets and drying them out and soaking up the water everything was fine.

I jet washed the car again and once again water is under the carpet on the passenger side only. The carpets are dry to touch, it's just under them that is wet.

I have heard about a scuttle panel and the pollen filter being a possibility where it leaks from.

Do you recommend completely striping all the plastic trim under the bonnet around the wiper area to see if it's coming in there.

Really at a loss so help with pics much appreciated 

I have a 2009 XF and I have already blown the bluetooth module under the passenger seat due to water getting in some how.

All I seem to find is people saying their carpets are soaked where mine are dry to the touch yet underneath is soaking
