Fail safe mode after hot start

[ptjs1]

When I had my X308, I replaced all the accessible vacuum pipes using lengths that I bought from Halfords. Take your old ones down there to compare and I'm sure you'll find what you need.

Good luck

Hi Stuart,
I've just had a look at my spare T/B and there is no gasket on the TPS.
The two bolts that hold the TPS on are Torx 20.
Disconnect the battery before working on the car,believe it or not alot of people dont do this (13 computing modules dont like it).
You might have to adjust the TPS while the engine is running to achieve a good idle.It's only about 1/2" total movement back and forth.
Good luck with it all.
Take care.

1/8" equates to 3.3mm ID. That is suitable.

Look in the Halfords racks for screws, wshers, clips etc. You will find lengths of it there. It is a common Halfords product.

Apparently the TPS bought from eBay threw up all kinds of strange errors. Ended up getting another from Berkshire jaguar parts, (highly recommend for quick delivery and helpful) and fitted the pipes.
Seems ok now, but when in Petrol station my flap wouldn’t open. I tried pulling and wiggling the flap, no joy... started her up to move into a parking bay and then she went into engine failsafe mode!
So in the end I locked and unlocked with fob. Then flap opened and upon start up, no warnings or errors..weird. I can only hope that that was caused by me trying to “break into” the filler.....

You should find the pipe on the Halfords ready use rack along with screws, rivets, bolts etc. It may not be listed online.

1/8" or 3.0mm INTERNAL diameter is what you are after. The outside diameter is irrelevant.

so far so good with the Berkshire jaguar TPS
No warning lights or messages. The pipes were also changed with the 1/8” new ones from eBay.
