Hello
I am buying a few engine plastic hoses part & other engine related for my 2011 XFR 75k Miles. Before my budget was about $1200 to spend but now I needed some of my money go to my classic C3 Corvette Restomod + travel expenses. So I cant go more than $700
I Just bought water pump, valve cover gasket MAHLE VS50675, oil pump gasket, front and rear brake rotors & pads, K&N Air filter, Maina Gallery Air tube, Front & rear tires, trans oil filter.
There is a coolant smell but not seeing leak.
1. I want buy the important parts
2. If some one fined a part don't fit to my 2011 XFR pleas let me know.
I am buying from checkeredflag.com
Thanks

 

Waw No any answer

 

Why are you replacing all those?

Maybe helpful to know what caused them all to need replacing

 

Hello Ariba,

If money is the issue, my approach would be:
- Have a spare car and take your time to go through the process of replacing
- Visually inspect and possibly test each part when disassembling and replace only those you suspect
- Allways replace O-rings and gaskets
- I also find it difficult to be sure to have the right parts, therefore I normally ask for a quotation according to the VIN number of the car (works great with www.britishparts.co.uk)

Good luck!

Regards,
Bart

 

Thanks Santer & Bart . I know That most Jags need to change most of the hoses. I had an experience with my 2004 70k miles XJR. I do have a spare car but I don't want to replace 1 hose and find the other is more important. or find the other fail after a month. My brother smell coolant but no leaks maybe the water pump or the rear hose.

 

May be the expansion tank and if it is spraying on to a hot part of the engine it could be evaporating so hard to see?

If it were me, I would replace a hose and if it was a lot of work to get to it, replace any others near to it

 

Throwing parts at a Jaguar is a very expensive way to troubleshoot. Coolant smell - replace everything would NOT be my approach.

Are you losing coolant and, if so, is it a significant loss? If it is a significant loss, a pressure test kit will help identify the source. If it is minimal, a regular cause on several Jaguar models is the Expansion Tank. Any pinholing or seam faults here are only noticeable with a hot engine.

Investigate first - then spend as required.
