Damn.... this is making me stay away from a 2007 XKR I want... better off just getting a C5 Corvette, same amount of fun, not as good looking but damn sure way easier to work on man
Great Video! How did you disconnect the engine room junction box. It has three cannon plugs rapt the bottom but I can’t get them disconnected. Also how did you remove the PCM/ECM? Thanks.
why did you jinx me man? lol, i literally just finished replacing the water crossover outlet pipe (like you did). how about, 2 days later my thermostat housing is now leaking smh. this is madness!!
Just fyi bad news, the updated plastic Y pipe will still fail at the O rings as yours did. That weakness remains. The rear crossover pipe is another ticking time bomb that will eventually fail too. I figure you have 4 years of nearly guaranteed life of these 2 platic coolant pipes. After that, you're on borrowed time. I have a 2013 jag xf 3.0. Had the y pipe replaced once on warranty. Year later, out of warranty, the crossover pipe blew (all fluid instantly gone). Replaced that myself and while doing it, replaced the y pipe again. It wasnt leaking yet BUT as i pulled it out, the plastic holding the O ring broke, so it was close to giving up after only a year or so. Im about to replace both again, but this time Im using after market aluminum upgrades for the y pipe and crossover although I do have some concerns about the aluminum crossover pipe quality. Not 100% sold that it is better just yet. Gotta pony up the $$$ and buy one to look at it and see if its legit.
I have the same model and year. Great running car, drivin by my wife. Only 46,000 miles. Rear pipe replaced under factory warranty. Bought an extended warranty which covered the water pump which leaked at 40,000. Ex. warranty wouldn't cover the plastic pipes. Cost $2,300 because of Super Charger removal. Show biz.
@WestCoastDP yep. It is a great engine in every way EXCEPT the plastic crossover and Y pipe but having said that, I replaced both with aluminum in our 2013 XF and 2020 F Pace S and I am confident those will last the lifetime of the vehicles after seeing the quality. So if it ever comes up again, go aluminum aftermarket and let that issue be in the past.
Plastic pipe splits then replace fair enough shit design. But leaking clamps, you start to see why jag used to use a stop leak formula the coolant from new, or so I’m told. Silly little leaks like that, is a bottle of barrs a bad idea?
Did I hear you say you did NOT have to remove the supercharger to replace the fist hose? I have a 2017 XF that has a leak (I haven't pinpointed the source) that I am afraid is the one you pointed out under the supercharger. The nearest dealer is 300 miles away and the earliest appointment is 2-3 months. I don't want to be without my car waiting on parts and am not afraid to do it myself.
Job was a little over 2 hour job. I replace it with aluminum crossover. . Today I just replace the alternator. Took me 2 hours. Easy. Range rover sport 3.0 supercharge.
2:20 from the point where you say, "OH ya, this piece right here" my car leaks there and dripped Antifreeze on the intake manifold distoying all the seals around the tin part. Anyway, where is a good parts catalog that shows the parts with the part numbers I'm having a hard time locating a break-down by item . Can you help me? I located the "AIR INTAKE RESONATOR HOSE TUBE for 2013 - 2019 JAGUAR XJ XJL 3.0L RWD C2D17107" now I need to fix the drip.

I own a 2009 XF Supercharged and Jaguar must know that space-age-plastics have no place in high performance vehicles. Such action reeks of planned obsolescence, which American manufacturers are known for. I thought Jaguars were built with some semblance of integrity.
Thats what they sell you..brand symbolism. Back office their counting your pockets. Lease these or trade in for a new one soon as warranty is up. Have to mechanical inclined ...
