Hi all,
I was hoping to get some support. I cleaned my engine with engine cleaner. after that I took a drive about 10 miles into the drive the care went into a failed safe mode and I could not drive it more then 20 mph. Do you think it was caused by me cleaning the engine?
the car is in mint shape with only 59k
miles on it.

Welcome to the forum bwr2,

Good to have you with us at Jaguar forums.

Very likely it was the cause. There's a lot of sensitive electronic components in the engine bay but you will be very unlucky if it's done any expensive damage.

Follow Steve's link in post #2 to the XK8/XKR forum for help, advice and information. The 'HOW TO' thread at the top is a good place to start for info on regular issues.

Please remember to add vehicle details to your Signature to help others to give relevant advice. Go to the User CP button on the left of the top menu bar, then Settings & Options under Your Control Panel. Select Edit Signature and enter the details.

Enjoy the forums.

Graham
