hello everyone,
i have 2009 jaguar xk 4.2 n/a, it's VIN number is SAJAA43P495B29879, for some reason it have some parts from VIN number B32753, what i found out for now is the driveshaft and the differential, this bring me to this problem, i would like to use some help please,
i bought rear CV Axle (half shafts), both right and left, as the Manufacturer Part Numbers:
left side of the car: C2D42133
right side of the car: C2Z4812
both fit in the differential, but won't get in the wheel hub, i found out the some miss-matching parts were installed at the car before i bought it (wrong spindle with all it's components),
now i want to make sure i am buying the right parts,
for the wheel side the half shaft diameter is 34 mm, which spindle with the wheel hub will fit in this diameter?
as i looked for it, i've get to conclusion that i should buy this part: C2D60511, with all the other component (hub carrier, wheel hub, wheel bearing),
it's almost like to convert the rear back again to it's original state, can someone confirm please that if i buy this parts ( C2D60511, with all the other component (hub carrier, wheel hub, wheel bearing)), they will fit the diameter of the half shafts i already bought?
again only the wheel side is the problem, the half shafts goes into the differential 100%,
sorry for a lot of writing but i'm really concern i need help,
thank you

I have attached the TSB related to differential replacement in these cars. There was an upgrade due to failures which required replacing axles, diff and driveshaft. All parts generally no longer available. Sounds like your car might have had this TSB performed. Your main dealer may be able to tell you. In 2009-2010 the diff changed again to electronic slip. I doubt your car has that.
At this point, you need to determine which differential you have in your car. You can get the numbers cast into the diff housing and search ebay to find one which looks like yours. If it has a squared off protrusion of cooling fins at the bottom of the diff, it's the original diff. VR6R8W-4025-A2 should be the numbers cast into the housing. https://www.ebay.com/p/15041561357

If the diff does not have the cooling fins protruding down, it has the replacement diff. https://www.ebay.com/itm/23581225542...Bk9SR8qu-YvfZA
Will look like that. Different length axles. I wouldn't think the splines in the hub would have changed.
Your best bet may be to measure your axle length and splines, diameter and tooth count and try to buy a used axle. There are so many part numbers, I don't how you'd tell the difference without physical measurements.

Hope this helps some.

 

:-) The original is on my car...

 

@Ameed Halabi Can you verify your VIN number? I can't find anything under the one you've posted. Also, C2D65011 appears to fit 2010 and later and you said yours is 2009. Is that 2009 US market, or 2009 EU market which could be a 2010. It's important because ESD came out in 2010 (US) along with facelift and 5.0l engine.

 

**Hello,**

After a lot of struggle trying to solve this issue, it was really difficult to gather the right information for several reasons (long story). I believe this issue deserves its own dedicated thread, as the information I’ve found may help others in a similar situation.

My car’s VIN is **SAJAA43P495B29879** (EU Market).

Car parts are organized by VIN ranges: **TO B32XXX**, **FROM B32XXX**, and so on.

So, based on this system, my car's parts should fall under the **TO B32XXX** range, right? The answer is **yes**, but there are some parts that actually fall under the **FROM B32XXX** range. This was the tricky part to figure out: determining which parts would fit. The best approach is to verify the exact part number using your VIN, or, if possible, remove the part before buying it to ensure compatibility.

As @luv2fly **explained in detail** about the TSB related to differential replacement in these cars, this applies perfectly to my situation.

I discovered that my car has the **Gen3 Non E-Diff** (you can find more information about the differentials in the *Overview of Jaguar Differentials* thread). Even though it’s typically stated that the **Gen3 Non E-Diff** is only found on cars **FROM B32XXX**, my car has it, even though my VIN is **B29XXX**.

I hope this information helps someone else, as it was really frustrating to figure out on my own.

@luv2fly , thank you so much for the valuable information you provided in this thread. I’ll post some photos once I have all the parts and everything is installed.

Kind regards,
Ameed Halabi
