I have a coolant leak behind my intake . I tried to get behind the intake to repair either the hose or the actual pipe that connects the two heads. Problem , wiring harness is in the way. I tried every which way to remove cover to be able to get the wiring harness high enough to get at the parts . Two weeks ago rodents decided to nest in my engine bay. Any help with this would be appreciated
I can't find any information on this anywhere. Thanks I'm a new member ( also have a beautiful s type R ) .

 

Took several hours , but I did repair myself. Removed intake , and all lines in the way. The plastic tube was a sob to get out as the two outside nuts were in awkward place . I cut the tube couple times to move the tube in a more favorable possition to get nuts out. Much easier putting the coolant tube in. #30 torques bit. Replaced all gaskets on intake . About 6 hours to complete

 

Congrats on the repair. Are you not still under warranty though? Or did you mean to post this in the older XF model sub-forum?

 

No coverage ran out some time ago. Thanks for reply. I can now give advise on this repair.
