I have a 2013 jag XF 3.0 supercharged my most recent issue is I have 2 clogged fuel injectors and one injector that is leaking all issues are on the bank one side dealership recommends I change all 6 injectors for 3k dollars says they are too far gone for even a fuel injector cleaning .... any suggestions? Or anybody that has seen similar issues

 

Hmm well for the clogged ones you could take them off and have them sent to someone who can do ultrasonic bath cleaning. As for the leaking one, not sure the ultrasonic bath would remedy this or not.


Are you getting hard starting issues, or engine running rough?


I know on the earlier V8's, ( 4.0L and 4.2L ) we used a product made by BG, and ran the cleaner through directly at the fuel rail. Topix says there is a cleaning procedure that can be done, has that been tried already? If not, try that first and see if it clears up the problem. It also looks that the fuel rails are available separate, but are probably assuming that if one bank is bad, the other probably isn't far behind.


I'd ask to have the cleaner run through first, then go from there if you haven't already. Otherwise it's up to you. You'd have to take them out and send them away for the ultrasonic bath cleaning, and if that doesn't work, then replace the one bank. Be prepared that the other bank may fail or start showing signs of the same issues at some point.

 

Thank you for the reply I asked the dealership to do the cleaning I'm waiting for them to the call me and tell me the car is ready once they do that I'll go get the car I'm also going to put two cans of seafoam in it but ultimately I feel I will have to replace the injectors thank you for responding I'll put my results on the forum

 

You're welcome. I just hope the cleaning works. If it gets to that point of having to replace them, its going to be a call on your part of whether to do one bank or both. To be honest, I haven't seen any issues with the injectors on these engines, mostly with the 4.2L.


Good luck and hope it gets sorted for you.

 

This post also in the wrong section. The 2013 XF is the X250 model. Perhaps a moderator can move this (and the other 2-3 threads in this section) over to the X250 section. Might consider renaming the sections on the forum to be more clear about what years they relate to as quite a lot of messages end up in the wrong section

 

XF and XFR ( X250 ) 2007 - 2015 <---- that's what is says at the top on my screen, and he has a 2013 XF which is X250, X260 isn't till 2016.....

 

If you read and post via the app you only see the first line (X250 or X260) and no date is visible

 

Maybe it's an app issue, not the desktop version. Would think it would read as the same.

 

It's not just the app unfortunately. When I look on my iPhone in the web browser there is no year either
But if I look on the computer at the desktop version of the website then I can see it.
The decent number of mis-posts suggests quite a few people have found it confusing.

 

Car has been at my local Jaguar dealership a little over a month. Service writer recommended I change all 6 injectors I pushed for the regular cleaning and then the ultrasonic bath cleaning. Dealership initially told me the ultrasonic bath took and the car was fine then they told me the misfire codes came back and the O2 sensor on bank 1 and an O2 sensor on bank 2 had been switched the code they gave me was P0300 code which is an O2 sensor code. Really don't know what to do at this point. Almost at my whits end just want my car back. And also the dealership originally told me that I had two clogged injectors and 1 leaking injector. An ultrasonic bath should not fix a leaking injector so them telling me the ultrasonic bath took and fixed the problem a leaking injector should still have a misfire code. Any thoughts, opinions, or suggestions are greatly appreciated.
