When I fill the screenwash on my 5.0 xkr instead of the filler tube filling to the brim it overflows at a much lower level all over the floor. This is my first x150- is this normal or was my car built on the Friday afternoon shift?

 

I too have an 2012 XKR with the same issue... dropped it off at my indy yesterday for that and various fluid changes. I don't expect to hear back from him until possibly Monday and will let you know what the issue was.

 

When I look a the part- #C2P21376, the only leak points are through the fittings the pumps go through the tank or the fluid level sensor through point. They are all very low in the tank. If your tank fills more than about 1/4 full and then leaks, it may have a crack in the tank.

 

My ‘07 does that too. The filler pipe to reservoir connection is not sealed.

 

Mine fills to the brim with no leaks, always ensure I do it before I go in for a service so they'll not charge me £3 for screen wash top-up....tight git that I am

 

Usual cause of spillage is the seal between the filler neck and the reservoir (see item 9):






The list price on C2P11182 is $2.25.

you get charged for the fillup??

 

Thanks Graham I'll order that seal as its so cheap before I even strip out the liner to look.

 

It's usually from the the filler neck to reservoir seal but it can sometimes be from either of the grommets on the two pumps.

On taking the filler neck out (this whole job was done from the top, saving wheel and arch liner removal) the original seal had been crushed by the factory on 'fitting' and looks like it has leaked from day 1. The seal was just over £2 from jaguar and fitting was easy from the top- I used a touch of silicon spray on the new seal and pushed it into place using the handle end of a screwdriver- if you had small hands you could just about get them into the recess. About 10 minutes start to finish.
Thanks for the help

 

Weird it got crappy, mine is perfect.
