P2251

[Pclarke82]

Hi all,  picked up my new car the weekend,  2017 xfs 3.0d. Amazing car,  love it. Engine management light came on yesterday,  I put the code reader on and I got p2251. A Google search says its the o2 sensor.  

I booked in to a jag specialist this weekend to change it but he said he wants it on diagnostics first as its unusually for the sensor to go on this engine. 

Should I be worried? Is this a symptom of something more sinister,  had anybody ride with this engine had this issue?

You should take it back to the garage you bought it from and get them to fix it for free

It’s your rights after all, sale of goods act and all that…

Hi Phil,

welcome to the Jaguar Owners Club.

Yes the above is true, I had similar problem.

I got advice from RAC legal.

sent email stating this and quoting the law.

Surprising  how quickly their attitude changed!

They must fix it do it asap.

Kind Regards,

Julie.

Sorry to hear about the problems with buying a car. You do not actually state that you bought the cat from a retail dealer, but It is a reasonable assumption that you did.

Be careful if you did not and bought it privately, as different laws apply.

Also even if bought from a dealer, please be certain that you did not agree to any disclaimers, rules, etc etc, imposed by the seller in writing. Many dealers do actually supply "Trade Deal " cars, which may be applicable to constrained rules, etc, etc.

If bought from a retail dealer, then as previously quoted, "Get it back to the dealer/seller asap and insist that it is put right or your money is refunded in full.

 

Good Luck and Best Wishes, Regards, John
