Jaguar XF 2011 Turbo actuator?

Hallo guys, this is my first message, and I will do a little presentation.
I am Sergio, I am an Spanish guy and I live in Austria currently. I bought my Jag XF 3.0d 275cv last year, and when it works perfectly is the best car that I have had, but, that only happen two times haha.

Ok, lets go!

My car, has some problems like, when you accelerate it, appear the Restricted Performance, and when it does not appear, you can not accelerate fast until 2800 rpm,.When you are stopped in a traffic light, the car is going up and down with the rpm by itself, also when you use the Reverse, but if you are in N, disappear, and when you have activated the RP, that never happen, so I guess the problem is with the left turbo. I have changed the MAF sensor, but I did not feel any changes. When I use a diagnose tool, apear this:

P1247-00 Turbocharger boost preassure low
P004d-77 Turbo/supercharger boost control solenoid B - circuit high

In this case, I have another solenoid from a friend, and I have tried it (7.02428.00 Pierburg) , now my car in N has no the problem with the rpm, but sometimes in Reverse.
The car is not better, so now I have different codes:

P0235-94 Circuit of sensor A from turbo
P1247-00 Turbocharger boost preassure low
P00BD-07 Mass or volume air flow A circuit range/performance - air flow too high

I was looking the vacuum line, and al the hoses, are visually fine, so now I will try to change the another solenoid (7.22687.27 Pierburg) and I do not really know what to do.
Sometimes as 1 of 20, the car works perfect, although the turbos are not syncronized, you can feel all the power of this engine, so I am sure is not a problem with the turbo, but I think is a solenoid, hose or actuator.

What do you think guys?
Thank you in advance. (I hope my English is fine)

Hola Sergio. Welcome to the forum.
From your description I would suggest it's the secondary turbo valve actuator. A very common issue and easily replaced. This is the culprit. It gets sticky through lack of use as the secondary turbo doesn't kick in until around 2800 rpm.

Thank you very much. I have read all the post but is not very clear for me, if I search the code of the picture, I can find a kit for the secondary turbo valve actuator, but, is it what I need? or do I need a completly new valve?

Just the actuator.
Item #10. Yes.
Sí.
What is the best way to do it? From under the engine, or from the bonnet?
My car is with the steering wheel in the left, I guess nothing change with the positions

Welcome Sergio!
It's a job from down under :) . You "only" have to remove this big cover (second picture) to get access to this part.

Wow! Thank you! This is very helpful!
Just a question, is in every car like that? Or my car (Steering at left side) could be on oposite?

Thank you so so much!

I have a LH too. Mine is just a 2013 3.0 D sportbrake. The facelift Model. The place for this part is the same for our models.

Hi again! I actualizate the post, but with bad news.

I have changed the actuator, and did everything perfect, I have checked three times that all is well mounted.
Now, I have the RP even when you accelerate it in N.
I have this errors;
P0235-94
P0235-17
P00BD-07
P006A-00
P2458-66

All of them with the circuit A and the DPF.

Do you know something? :cry::cry:

Bad news :( but maybe easy to fix. Hopefully some of the guys with more knowledge of the pre-facelift model will answer during Sunday.
My first suggestions:
  • check the related fuses for this circuits
  • re-check for proper connection of the electric plugs AND the vacuum hoses
  • check the proper connection of the vacuum hose at the motor air filter box
  • did you perform a re-calibration of the air path? It's a SDD service function.

Good morning!

I have done everything except the last step. What does it mean SDD?

Trank you!

Sorry, I thought you are already working with the Jaguar Syptom Driven Diagnostic. You are using Autel? Maybe this tool has this function, too. The Name should be similar to Calibrating air path. But I would guess, this is not the solution for your problem. Your new issues ATE some hardware related .
Did you clear all faults and they returned?

Cheers
Dirk
No, I am using Icarsoft v3 for Jaguar.
Yes, I have delete the errors but appears again too fast. Only press the accelerator and I will have them again.
Ok. ICarsoft does not have this function. It will be a bit tricky to analyze the root cause with this tool, but it should work.
Next step, from my point of view, what values are out of specification or does not meet the target value. Did you unplug the MAF sensors?
Maybe plugged in wrong? Just guessing.
If the DTCs are popping up while the car is running on the first turbo (LH side), I would check the MAF readings for the first turbo. Also check the readings for the MAP sensor.
SDD provides values like desired throttle position turbo shut up valve and calculated values for the desired boost pressure.
In such cases I performed a test drive while recording all affected/interesting values.
I believe you checked already the air path and the function of the valve you just exchanged.

Cheers
Dirk
