Hello all, Can anyone point me in the right direction as to where I can find this Heater Inlet Hose? I have a 2012 XJL. I have searched low and high and its on back order at Jaguar.

 

Call your dealership parts counter and ask if that was superseded.

 

I see it listed but with what you ran into I would call before ordering?
I really like Terry's Jaguar parts.

Also listed here from Jaguar.com Parts.

Yes, I've treid Terry's and Jaguar Parts.com. They are out of stock although they show in stock online. I don't know what to do at this point. I've looked on ebay, every Jaguar deal is out of stock, I've called salvage yards. I'm lost.

 

Yea I was afraid of that as they did not say in stock.
Here is the assembly;




This is a hack suggestion so maybe a last ditch attempt? I see that it is a steel tube with 2 small rubber hoses attached by clamps. I would disassemble the clamps and get the 2 hose out. Then look for a hose that you could substitute? Sometimes not as easy as it sounds either!

When I get into engine swaps there is often no stock hoses that fit. I go down to the local parts store and see if they will let me look at all the cooling hoses they have hanging up. Most parts stores have dozens. I have also used heat to attempt to mould a straight hose into position. Take a look at how much room you have. Sometimes I will replace a complex hose with a single straight hose that curves into position.

You also could eliminate everything between the two end connections and replace the whole thing with a single rubber hose? Simplify the entire assembly?

I called all over the East coast and the West looking for the same hose. Jag says they are in negotiations with a manufacturer to make these hoses again. Nothing will be happening till the end of the year.

 

Did you try the guy from this post?


XJ Supercharged Part Out

 

My elbow fitting was leaking. I sourced one on a late model wrecker.

 

Old post but wanted to post back a FAR better repair instead of the C2D5710 that has the metal bracket and bolt that's way too hard to get in and out. I have done it twice now but with what I now know I would get this part instead as it's about 1/3 the price and has no metal bracket or bolt. Much easier to get in and out. Old part about $150. New part about $60.





Thanks again for the forum member who posted this as it's a real improvement!
