Good effort for getting in touch with jaguar and not paying the first price, shame no one got back to you but I’ve got a jag and can’t seem to find much information so I assume your one of the first to post about this😂

what update do you have did it fix the problem? Also what symptoms did you have other than just engine light e.g. running rough, excessive fuel consumption..? 

All good with the car now. I think it’s always sounded a bit “industrial “ but I’m happy with it now i havnt had to pay the quoted £1600-£2200.

The only symptom was the engine light to be honest. But I’ve not drove another XE, which may show something I’m not aware of as the car isn’t the quickest considering its 200BHP.

Hi

If changing the sensor doesnt work it is probably the front bumper wiring loom. To change either sensors or loom needs the bumper to be removed (not as big a job as it sounds but still likely to take a while!).

Is that what the grey relay is part of that the wiring from the sensor goes into? Does the bumper need to come off for that?

it’s just baffling me because the fault codes stipulated front right radar sensor. By front right it doesn’t mean the one to the right in the middle surely?!

Is there any way of knowing? I’ve changed the front right sensor now but it’s made no difference at all.

Thanks. I can actually get at the sensor now I’ve unscrewed the bolt in the wheel arch cowling. So I’m just trying to get a sensor now!! Arrrrgghh. 😂

Change the front right sensor, it’s defective.

Thanks for the quick reply mate. Drivers side? Are they easy to change and where could I get one from today? 

So the parking assist isn’t working and still beeps and says cameras not available. 
move changed the boot wiring loom and it did have bare cooper wires showing. But the fault still exists. 
 

I’ve had the faults codes read and these came up. Has anyone got any ideas? 
I’m going away tomorrow in the car and would love to be able to sort it today before I go.

Solved 🙂

It was the result of corrosion on a contact in the boot fusebox.

I have just changed the boot wiring loom because of this as I read this is the most common issue. The old loom did have bare copper showing on a few wires so I thought “happy days” cracked it. 
Nope, turned ignition on and BEEEEEEEPP. ffs

which is the fuse in question as I’ll check this over. 

Thank for all of the replies chaps. 😂😂

anyway, hopefully next time somebody has this they may find it interesting that I have been in touch with quiet a few Jaguar specialists and ALL have said that this solenoid can be replaced WITHOUT removing the entire engine. 
 

I have mine booked in for the 25th January snd it will cost £400 instead of the massive £1600-£2000 I was quoted by a garage that would have removed the engine. 
 

I’ll post again once it’s done to let anyone who’s interested know how is went. 

Did everyone who has experienced this get it sorted? 
My XE has this fault. (Piston cooling jet circuit open) and I’m wondering if it can be fixed without taking the engine out in any way. 

Hi mate, 

did you sort this? My XE has that piston cooling jet fault and I’m looking for a way to get it fixed or to at least learn as much bad I can about it. 

Hi guys, 

just wondering if anybody found anywhere that could replace this part without removing the entire engine? 
My 2015 XE has had this fault for a while now and I’ve been quoted anything from £1200-£2200 to have it done as I’ve been told that the engine needs to be removed to access the part. 
 

I am more than happy to travel anywhere in the country if it can be done in situ and save me a tonne of cash!! 🤞
