Hi all - this is my first post for my first Jaguar. Looking forward to being part of the forum.

My 2008 XK started having an intermittent leak where I'd get antifreeze on top of the throttle body intake hose.

Today I was able to find the culprit. It's a small hose that enters the bottom of the throttle body. See the attached picture.

I'm unable to see where the other end of the hose goes. It appears to travel under the intake manifold.

Can anyone tell me the name and part number for this hose?

Also, what is involved with replacing it? Hopefully,

I don't have to pull the intake manifold.

Thanks!

Dan

 

Welcome to the forums Dan,

I've moved your question from General Tech Help to X150 forum. This is the place to post technical questions about your model.

Please read the guidance for new members ( https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/n...ned-up-241802/ ) which answers many of the most frequent questions about getting started.

Enjoy the forums.

Is it leaking near the clamp or further towards under the engine? If it's at or near the clamp maybe it could be cut back and re-clamped?

 

It's by the clamp but the hose is bloated and weak at the end. I'll need to cut off 2-3" inches.

If I can get the proper part, I'm considering taking the last 3-4" of the new hose and splicing it into the old hose where it's stronger.

 

If I can't get the proper hose, I'll just get generic hose and put in an elbow to join it with the old hose.

 

If you cut it back 2-3 inches what is the rest of the hose like? I think that is one of the "valley" hoses.The hoses are most likely original = 15 years. It could work as a temp solution.

 

Patrick Wong did a full work over on his coolant system - you might get some ideas on where to go:

Is there a thread on where to buy EOM parts online?
