Parking sensors.
In the not too distant past i had an intermitant bleeping as soon as i put the car in reverse. This was worse in the winter or after i had the car washed. In the summer the parking sensors were ok so this led me to the conclusion a sensor was defective. The boot is bone dry as is the parking module....

Re: MAP or MAF sensor
I managed to get a MAF sensor on ebay as new for £40 which is half the dealer price. The old one was in a state to say the least. I was speaking to a motor technician at work regrding the MAF. To say its a little non descript would be best, but this thing can change the way your car is running, its ...

Re: MAP or MAF sensor
Mike I have just been informed its a Manifold Absolute Presure sensor and its location is at the back of the manifold and is a pig to see let alone get to. For what its worth i will try a clean of the MAF sensor and your other sugestion. If no change i will try a second hand MAF switch. Seems to be ...

Re: MAP or MAF sensor
Many thanks, Mike i will go and have a look. What is the MAP sensor then and where is it. This is what the garage said they replaced but i have my doubts given the symptons returning so soon.

MAP or MAF sensor
I have recently had the MAP sensor replaced on the S type 2.5 (58k) due to a slight surging in revs when traveling around 50 mph at 1500 ish rpm. The fault code at the garage, they said ,pointed to the MAP sensor. It was ok for a month after the alleged replacement but the fault has returned. I have...

Re: Engine management light
The reason for the light on was a faulty MAF sensor. This was causing the fluctuation on the rev s aswell. £75 plus an hours labour. They did find another logged fault. A parking sensor has gone down.......£89.....where do they get their prices from

Re: Engine management light
I`m inclined to wonder if either the throttle body TAC module, throttle position pot or the throttle pedal or their circuits may have an issue. Failure of any one of those three feed backs (out of limits) might give the fault you describe. As you also say, I suppose it could be a fuel delivery issu...

Engine management light
Well after a years faultless running a problem has arisen. On the way home the engine management light has come on. No effect on performance and several attempts at restarting have not extinguished it. Any ideas, i have it booked into West riding Jaguar tomos for a plug in. For the past month or so ...

Re: Interior light
Hello Carl and welcome to the Forum. Your input will always be well received. Try playing with the roof console switch combinations. The handbook gives details of how they work. It is very easy to knock on of the switches and change the way the system operates. Even after five years of S-type owner...
