Hi, I am in Northamptonshire, England and have a x-type, petrol, 2.0ltr saloon, 52 plate (which i love).

Now I am not saying that I am a helpless female but I dont know that much about my car and would like to have a little know how.

My story is:- I took my car for an MOT and Service this Saturday and it apparently over heated whilst having its MOT and the raditor cap burst off covering the engine with water. Since then the engine management light is constantly on and the car will starting juddering whilst driving along. I have had the juddering problem before and had six spark plugs replaced in Feb this year. The diagnositc said that it was cylinder number 2. Is this an igntion coil or have I not got enough info from the diagnostic?

Thanks for looking.

 

Hello Wrongers, welcome to the forum.

I do not know about the 2.0ltr X Types, but I think you should get the codes off the vehicles computer. This would aid in diagnosis.

You might want to post your X Types problems in the X Type Section here as well, plenty of knowledgeable and helpful guys there. They should get you sorted quickly.

Enjoy all the site has to offer!

 

Welcome to the forum,

If you can get the codes I'm sure someone can help.

 

wrongers, get us the codes and I am sure we can get you taken care of. As for your heating issue, I would venture to guess you are suffering from the fan module fault. That will lead to overheating and what you are seeing. But, that is just a guess. Lets see what you can give us in the way of codes and then we can fix things from there.

Hi Wrongers
I'm Ray, also in Northants. I get all of my upsets checked by Guy Salmon in NN1 01604 239944 ask for Tim. He'll book you in and where he can, supply a courtesy car. It may cost but, what the heck, look after that wonderfull machine. I'm in Wellingborough. Got a fish n chip shop here too, Olympic Fish Bar. I drive the XJ. I own Deluxe Private Hire, Wellingborough Wedding Cars and The Chauffeur Co.

Welcome to the forum.

 

Right, car has had a diagnostic check again today and following are the codes:-

P0171 System too lean Bank 1
P0174 System too lean Bank 2

The chap at the garage said it could be to do with the mixture but i dont think they were sure. I didnt mention in my last post but there is message that keeps coming up 'cruise control not available'.

 

Welcome to the forums ! As stated above many times....codes=answers, and I'm sure the collective knowledge around here can help you sort your X Type. Best of luck to you for a simple fix.
