Hey all, my driver's seat bolsters do not inflate correctly I have the XKR sport bucket seats optioned and only the right side inflates while the left slide barely inflates, if at all. And to add insult to injury, the bolsters deflate after a few minutes of driving. Has anyone experienced bolster inflation problems or does anyone know where to start in diagnosing and fixing the problem? I'm hoping to avoid finding matching seats off of e-bay or a trip to the nearest Jaguar dealership an hour and a half away.

 

Hi had pretty much the same problem in mine but non bucket seats . For side boalsters and lumber support, I simply change the fuses for the seats . All worked fine

 

Good to hear I'm not the only one! Which fuse numbers did you change - I assume some of the fuses in the box behind the rear seats?

 

If ine side inflates but deflates then that fuse is fine, to my (albeit limited) knowledge it's one fuse for each seat that controls both sides.

So suspect it's actually the air bladders that are at fault. In your case

 

Sure they were in the footwell fuse box but double check on the stickies as to were look to replace all seats fuse, worth a try worked on mine , the footwell box is a PItA to get into unless your small use a torch

 

On this side of the pond, he’d better use a flashlight, or fuses will be the least of his problems.

 

As it's inflating, then the power is OK. You are likely to have a leak in the bladder (see item 6)




Further investigation and looking at the possibility of repair is advisable as this is an expensive part. Over 600 UKP here in the UK and over 1000 USD. Also different fitments for standard or heated/cooled seats.
