Hi all
my 2010 Jaguar XF 3.0d broke down yesterday on the way to work it juddered then died now turns over but won't start.
it happened at 0330 on a duel carriageway so was recovered and they just took me straight home now I am thinking fuel starvation for a start I have removed the back seat and the cover off the fuel tank to get to reveal the fuel pump but when I turn the ignition on I can't hear anything coming from the tank.
should I not hear the pump making a noise also is there a way to test if fuel is getting towards the engine I.E. if I was to remove one of the connectors off the engine fuel filter and turn the engine over to see if fuel is coming through.
any help would be much appreciated.
many thanks

 

Technical questions tend to be overlooked in the REGION forums. The MODEL forum is always the best place to post this type of question.

It's been three days so you may have already resolved this problem. However, I think your initial diagnosis of fuel pump is the most likely answer. A scan for fault codes is the quickest method of troubleshooting but a check on fuel pressure will either verify or eliminate this as a possible cause. Is this a Schrader Valve (arrowed in RED) on the fuel rail?




If so, it avoids the need to disconnect any fuel pipes to check for pressure.
