I have a 96 XJS with the AJ16 engine.

I've been on JDHT and it claims I need the following hoses:
1. MHE4510AB (Octopus Hose)
2. CAC5100 (Top elbow)

Is that it? It shows the following two OTHER hoses I need if I have the water heater,which I believe I have, even though I don't live in Canada:
3. CCC6621
4. CBC6441 (NLA)

I've already replaced the ******* hose when I replaced my intake manifold gasket.

Am I missing something? I feel like I'm missing something.

 

I see that 178 folks have stopped by but couldn't help. Let me see if I can help sorting it out. The first 2 hose you listed according to the SNG Barratt.com website blowup parts diagram are the hoses you need if you are replacing the upper and lower hoses.
The other 2 are if you are replacing the hoses to the BLOCK heater. Do you actually have a wire coming off of the cooling system piping that plugs in to an A/C outlet to keep the engine water hot while garaged? That feature was stock for Canadian cars and I don't think was even an option for USA cars.
So if you don't have a BLOCK heater then you only need the first 2 hoses.

 

Thanks for the help. I was hoping to get some feedback from a facelift owner who has previously had this work done. I can't believe everyone else is driving on their original hoses...

Anyways, I do certainly seem to have the block heater, as I have located the cord inside the engine bay that I can plug into a socket so I can activate it.

That being said, I did find a "kit" list for about $175 (not gonna buy the kit) that listed the following parts:
CO-36175-11 which is an internal part reference unique to the vendor that identifies it as a "Top Radiator Hose" I can't seem to cross reference it.
CCC6959 - Hose - Core to Valve
CAC5100 - Top Radiator Hose
CAC9800 - Heater Hose - Core to Return Pipe
CBC5201 - Hose - Filler Pipe to Water Pump
CCC4723 - Hose - OTO Piece to Thermostat
EAC2928/7 - Hose - Pipe to Recovery Bottle
MHE4510AB - Radiator Hose Bottom - aka Octopus Hose
NBC2273AB - Hose from Water Rail, aka ******* Hose
NBC3041AA - Hose - Heated Breather to Thermostat Housing
EAC3803 - Bypass Elbow to Water Pump
CCC7263 - Filler Pipe to Tank
CCC6953 - Heater Hose, Valve to Cylinder Head

Does anyone have any history with these hoses?

Thanks.

There are 2 bottom water hoses for 1996 XJS. One is for cars with the heater (MHE4510BA) and one for cars without the heater (MHE4510AB). I have been searching for MHE4510BA, but it seems it is no longer available. If anyone knows if they are available, please let us know. I assume you could use the MHE4510AB if you remove the heater, but you know how that goes.

 

 

I have a new hose MHE4510BA for the XJS. It is genuine Jaguar stock. If you are interested and need one please get in touch. I am in the UK. I have a fair quantity of other new but old Jaguar parts stock.

 

James,

I might be interested, but am slightly confused by Jaguar's parts diagram. MHE4510BA was the part number Jaguar originally quoted for the water heater--type pipe. Is your one a single-piece pipe or does it have the water heater built in?

Tks

Paul

 

My hose is a one piece assembly without the heater.
