It’s ok to use the supermarket stuff I do and 150000 miles later it’s still running like a Swiss watch The absolute best thing you can do for your engine is change the oil (correct handbook spec) regularly

Did you boot it to put it into restricted performance? -

You’re right though… It does look like a vacuum leak -

Delete the fault codes and go for a run in the car Some of these codes might be old, historical codes When you’re finished your jaunt, read the codes again to see what’s still there -
So true…

There is indeed a setting in the menu somewhere

On diesels, the service light can come on when the car thinks there is too much diesel dilution in the engine oil This could indeed be related to your rp if there is a crack in your intake manifold allowing your car to run too rich -
Restricted performance Turbocharger/supercharger issue
Bigvic replied to hert's topic in Jaguar XF Club
I think this valve I mentioned is actually called an actuator - too many weird and wonderful names for an old git like me… -
Restricted performance Turbocharger/supercharger issue

There’s a boost control valve that fails on the turbo this can be replaced fairly easily for about a tenth of the price if you take it to an independent jag man -
Duff battery…

You’ve got to leave the engine running until it finishes doing it’s thing it can take a very long time, certainly longer than 15mins
-
The fuel level sender sounds goosed
-
That happens to me often too always a bummer…
-
I get mine from smith & allen don’t ask me what my oil spec is, I only look when I need some - but it is low ash… have a look at their website
-
Doesn’t matter who makes it it’s the spec that’s the important bit
-
The solder joints on the sender can go bad
-
There are some code readers that will tell you the state of your dpf and can also force a regen the cynic in me reckons he’ll tell you that it needs cleaned out… if the warning light in the dash doesn’t come on, your dpf will be fine
-
You should go with the specs in the handbook the specified oil might be low ash which won’t bung up your dpf as much
-
If it was a tracking issue, you should see excessive wear on the inside or outside of the tyres
-
Too high a pressure and you can lose both cornering and braking ability. Keep the pressures at what the handbook says. you have a different problem. If they’re all balanced, take them off and check for dents in the rims
-
Ok To rule out problems from the tank, you’ll need to put the fuel output from the fuel filter, the hose that goes to the engine, into a bucket of diesel. If the engine keeps running, then you have a problem somewhere from the tank up to the bit you pulled the hose off
-
I would go with the fuel filter first too
-
Get the jag ones
-
Oil spec will be in the handbook
