Meny of us driving the X-type are (were) dealing with a check engine light. When codes were read, most of the time it turned out to be an evap leak. I was dealing with this and in the last few weeks, the dreaded "cruise not available" came up and limp mode became a daily thing.

Well, after many headaches with the dealer, fog tests, diagnostics of all sorts, reading forum after forum after forum, me and my not-very-car-savy mind decided to pop the hood and have a look. At first glance everything seemed OK. Until I removed the plastic cover from the engine block. There's a hos running on the right hand side on top of the engine... and wouldn't you know, there was a 4 inch crack in the hose. Instead of taking it to a dealer and paying their insanely expensive labor, I went to Autozone (I'm sure Napa, O'Riley's, Auto Parts Plus, etc would have been just as fine) and got a replacement hose for less than $2. Removing the old hose and installing the new one was a breeze. 2 minutes later: no more limp mode, no more check engine light, no more "Cruise Not Available"...

Now let's just hope this does the trick!

 

thanks this is very helpfull cope it in FAQ

 

You sure you were reading THIS forum? And did the mechanic at the Jag dealership have a bone through his nose and a medicine bag??? That fix has been documented here a ton of times. Nice you found it on your own but doing a thread search would have pointed you there in no time.
