Well it was another lovely day day yesterday in the UK so me and the current wife took a ride over to Shropshire some 60 miles away and just as we were parking up there was that sickening sweet smell of hot coolant in the car. Jumped out and sure enough a small trickle of water was dripping off the lower cover at the rear. Shut down,

engine cover off and all looked fine, had lost a litre of water but no leak evident. Had a lovely day in Ludlow and bought a huge bottle of water to get us home. Stopped every 20 miles to check the levels all ok, got home no leak...strange.
Started it again this morning no issues went for a blast coolant smell again, water dripping under the car....aghh.
Water pump looks fine, started squeezing the hoses then got a squirt in the eye, the top S shaped Supercharger coolant hose has a tiny pinhole in it and only leaks at high pressure. I'm hoping I can cut it back for now but i've scoured the internet and the Jaguar parts companies but I can't find this part listed. Does anyone know the part number. I've attached a pic, it's the hose with the arrow.
Many Thanks
Ian

 

You're in the U.K. Contact Forum Sponsor SNG Barratt for help.

 

Here you go C2C18160 also could use any suitable hose to cut and fit.

 

Many Thanks Jahummer but sadly that hose is not quite correct. I've ordered some radiator hose and will fashion a repair for now. I've found a contact who will make up a silicon hose to your own specification so may get a few made for spares.
Thanks again

 

Try C2P11194. It is an assembly of all 3 hoses that connect to the tee in the bottom center of your photo.

 

Apologies, should have clarified I meant the hoses referenced could be utilised for your application but as you've likely seen another member shared the part number. Silicone's a great alternative so long as it's a quality product AND keep in mind, silicone hose require different types of clamps used for rubber hoses.

 

007XKR Many thanks that is exactly what I am looking for. Unfortunately I can't see it available in the UK but I can now try a main dealer armed with the part number. Brilliant.

 

Result! The part is still available from the main dealer and will be with me Tomorrow. £58 all in..Thanks again to all who responded especially 007xkr for the part number.

 

For future reference, you can find out IF a part is available AND the cost from Jaguar Classic site:

https://parts.jaguarlandroverclassic...1194-hose.html

Where a part is still available, it may be obtainable through Jaguar Classic but otherwise shows Please contact your local dealership like this example. Parts that JLR no longer supply directly or through dealerships are listed as NLA (No Longer Available).

It can save a lot of time and searching to know if an OEM part is still available or now unobtainable from Jaguar.

Does anyone make quality silicone replacement hoses kit? As these cars age, split hoses will come up more and more often.

oh they look great thanks. I'll contact them to find out what the total cost is including the clamps.
