Issues sorted

Hi all, just a recap on what went wrong. So passengers door would not open by the key fob and the window washers didn't work right ( one wash then no water with the engine running) and the eco came up on the dash. So heres what was done to fix the problems.

Passengers door lock and servo replaced. Drivers door lock servo replaced as I felt if one has gone the other wont be far behind. Sorted and works great and the key fobs were re programmed for the new locks.

Window washer issue was a new pump and a small software up date. Cant tell what was updated but the window washer and head light washers work properly now.

E.C.O fault on the dash was caused by the break vacuum sensor being faulty so that has been replaced and the all faults cleared.

I hope this might help someone if they get any of the above issues.

Hi Steve,

Just found this post, which answers the Q I posted on another thread.

My friend is also in Essex.......what dealership did you use please? How much did it cost for the software update?

Have you heard about moisture getting into the Body Control Module located near the fuel filler?

Thanks,

Neil

I've just had the BCM replaced on my 2012 XF 2.2 Portfolio. The water ingress in this area is an absolute disgrace. There's a vent near the BCM that channels water into it, under the batteries, and gathering under the spare wheel.

Hi Neil, just read all the post and yes you can get moisture by the filler cap. I think it gets in if the drain hole is blocked where the filler cap is. It gets in behind the plastic cover housing the filler cap. Did reply to the post earlier about the washer issue but here it is again. The software update was done with other issues I had but the main problem was the washer pump. If you need the address of the garage I went to o will be more than happy to e mail it to you. Hope this helps.

Hi Matt, glade you got it sorted out and I have had a look at mine and all good. I did find the drain hole was blocked where the filler cap is. Got some wire from halfords ( gear cable to be exact) and cleaned all the drain holes I could find. I was told by the garage to do this every so often to stop an future problems.

Hi Trooper, your right about water getting on the fuse box in that area. I asked about this when they worked on the car and they said you could put some pond liner in there if you wont. Not to sure to be honest if that would work but jag should fix this as it's a design fault but you know they wont. I will be getting some work done around that area soon so will look and see what I can come up with to solve the issue and will post as soon as I have some ideas.

I'm trying to help my GF with her door locking issues on her  '03 Jag S type.  It locks unlocks, but doesn't stay locked. is there a relay I can remove to make it operable with only the key? And where do I look for the relay. Jag's are foreign animals to me! I'd appreciate your input. Thanks.

Hi Andreswiss, not to sure about an s type as I own an xf. You could try looking and posting on the x type forum page for help. Sounds as tho you have a senser issue and need to take it to a garage to get it looked at. Sorry I couldn't be any more help to you and good luck in sorting it out.
