Hi, I got a question for a change:
I am currently re-assembling my engine (X-Type 2.5L 2004 petrol) and I do not know, where I removed the following bracket nor where it goes now:


So does anyone know, where this bracket is supposed to go?
I had my air-intake removed and the 2 cam covers, thus, it would be somewhere in that area.
I also already checked, if I can spot that bracket on my other 2.5L X-Type, but no luck.
Thanks.

 

Looks like support bracket C2S18893 from the rear of the intake manifold.
If you have the X-Type parts catalogue from SNG Barratt, look at page 17 as it seems to be referenced as item 12.
But it is shown on their 2.1 manifold not the 2.5 and 3.0.
Oddly their 2.1 manifold drawing has 2 x IMT control valves, but my 2.1 only has one, so perhaps your 2.5 has this bracket if it has that style intake.

 

Lovely, Mark,
Yes, thanks, that's it.
I found it on page 17.
It certainly helps to have the P/N (which I did not have).
With the P/N I can also find a better drawing:

(I always check jaguarlandrover for explosion drawings).
And knowing from which direction and in which orientation this bracket goes to the air-intake, I understood now, where it goes.
Thanks, Peter

 

Hi, All; I am in the same situation as Peter was, But I cannot figure out the actual orientation. Can Someone post a close-up picture of the bracket on the car itself? Please...Pleeeeese... I am losing sleep over this.....want to find the place to fix it with absolutely no luck..

 

Any help on my above question,
Please describe where to look. My car is a V6 . Thank you

 

I just saw your question:
It would be difficult to take a picture of it being build-in, but I can describe it like that:

And after the air intake is in position and you made sure that the air intake site straight on the engine WITHOUT and hoses, wires and cables inbetween, tighten the main bolts of the air -intake: bolts: 15Nm and the two front right (when you stand in front of them) nuts 10Nm only. and then tighten the bolt and nut of THAT bracket, plus the is another bolt to be added looking at the air-intake from the right (when you stand in front of it).

PS: I have taken a pic of the bracket in the build-in position (between air intake and firewall). My camera would have been too big to squeeze in there - I took my mobile:


And this is the a.m. bolt on the side, which gets easily forgotten:

 

Hi Peter,
Thank you very much for taking the effort to guide me in the right direction. I will have a look at this tomorrow and try to figure it out. Hope i don't have to take the intake out again to fix this one bolt.

 

Na, you should be fine. I just prefer to fit the bolt to that bracket first and then place the intake into position.
But you can also fit the intake first, and then add the bracket - it is just a little bit more fiddly.
But double-check that no wires or vacuum tubes are squeezed in between the air-intake and the part it sits on. Check especially on the rear right side (when you are standing in front of the car, looking back). If that is the case, the air intake has to come off again.

If it is a while, since the 6 (or 12 for that matter) air-intake gasket-seal-ovals had been changed, this should get done as well.

 

Hi Peter,
Thank you very much for your assistance. I finally was able to locate the place. Irony now is i am missing the bolt that fits it into the intake. ..... Thank you again.

 

It's just a standard bolt (easily bought), but I don't want to remove mine at this moment just to measure it. But if I were to guess, I'd go for M4, and if not, M5. Definitely not longer than 15mm, maybe just 12mm. As always, if you select a bolt, which is too long and really tighten it up, you may cause severe damage...

PS: I think it is the same kind of bolt as in my last picture (the one on the side)...

 

Hi Peter,

Thank you very much for your time and assistance. Was able to find a bolt and the bracket is now back in its location, Bit fiddly as you advised.... But Now i can sleep in peace...
