Update on my EML light issue: I've had the fault code read, the only fault logged is P0406 which is the EGR sensor reading outside of limits, indicating possibly problem with EGR valve. I've done a little research and these EGR valves seem to be prone to giving EML faults when the engine's got a few thousand miles on it (mines done 68k). It would seem that the valves can become contaminated with oil and carbon deposits which can cause the valve to stick open and throw up a fault. Oh yeah, bit of a numpty I am, but the loss of power experienced when the coil light came on was not really a symptom of the fault but is infact the engine in 'Limp' mode which the engine management system initiates to protect the engine from damage when it senses a fault. Currently, I have no fault indicated as I had a work mate with a code reader clear the fault log, the fault didn't reoccur today travelling 30 miles to and from work. My quandry now is, what to do about it in the limited time I have left before heading to the south of France. on Friday morning. Icould remove the Egr valve and give it a thorough clean before refitting and hope that it keeps the car runniing in good order for the time being? Or do i bite the bullet and get the valve replaced with a new part? Has anyone else had this problem? I there a good long term fix? I've read somewhere that a blanking plate can be fitted on the valve outlet which could stop the problem occurring. I believe the main purpose of the valve is to reduce emmissions but would blanking off the valve affect the engine performance noticeably? Any thoughts/advice welcome

Hi, I'm Phil. I bought my first Jag, a 2006 x-type 2.2D, about 6 months ago. I've always wanted to own a Jaguar and I am enjoying driving my x-type very much. Unfortunately, it has developed a problem with the engine management system in the last couple of days and I have posted the details in the Owners Lounge requesting any feedback that might be useful. Please take a look at my post and see if you can help. Cheers Phil

Hi all, I'm new to this forum, I'm hoping some of you more experienced Jaguar owners will be able to shed some light on a problem I have on my 2006 x-type 2.2 diesel. I've had the car about 6 months and 2 days ago the coil warning light began flashing on my display. Initially, there were no other warning lights but I did notice a loss of power (no turbo) when I accelerated. I turned the ignition off and back on whilst at a stop light and the warning light cleared and when I pulled away, everthing was fine and the turbo kicked in as normal under acceleration. Some time later the light came on flashing again with the same loss of power symptom. Once again this cleared after recycling the ignition. Checking the owners manual, I know the warning indicates an engine management problem, unfortunately I don't have a code reader to get more detail of what the fault is. After 3 or 4 occurrences the EML came on permanently, I guess this is because after reoccurrence of the intermittent fault, the Engine management system logs the fault as a hard fault. The fault has continued to occur with me still being able to clear the flashing coil light by recycling the ignition,the EML stays on all the time since it first appeared but the loss of power is clearing when the coil light is cleared. I'm guessing it is a Turbo problem, possibly mass air flow sensor, but I'm just guessing. I'll be looking to book the car into a garage ASAP but if anyone has experienced similar symptoms and can give me an idea what the problem might be I'd appreciate it. I'm due to drive to the South of France in the Jag this coming Friday so I need to get the problem sorted double quick.
