OK. Thanks Phil.
So very mysterious. Since all other stuff is working with his XF. Looks like we will just have to try it with recovering or a virgin file to see if the pump will be working afterwards.

Cheers

Hi Dirk,
Yeah I do wonder if they recovered my car using the autologic stuff... Perhaps it puts a workaround for broken eee, in the pflash code.
Alternatively perhaps the eee fails to read only, with some corruption in random places depending what's being written at the time.


If he's checked for wiring/pump issues, and there's no corrosion on the BCM pins then that seems the logical next step, well at least to see if you can read EEE.

Yes Phil, the pump and the wiring is ok. No corroded pins. No +12V directly measured at the output pin of the BCM. We will have a call to decide what to next. My favorit is the eeprom check too.

Cheers
Dirk

Not yet @Ralf .
@ipodyu23 is trying to check with the previous owner, if he had any engine start issue after changing the batteries.
Afterwards he will decide if it's worth to travel 600 km to me and give the BCM reflash or reconfig a try.

Hi @xf_phil, did you ever had or heard about a facelift XF with a washer pump issue without having all the other issues like "Lost keys" or "Central locking not working" ?
Me, no. Always had "No cranking" and "Smart key not found" before the washer pump issue.

Cheers

Hallo Dirk,
daß Problem hat sich erledigt. Es war nur die Pumpe gewesen. Ich habe diese beim Ölwechsel tauschen lassen.
Soweit bin ich zufrieden, nur habe ich, wenn ich stehe immer einen Ölgeruch von der Frischluft der Klimaanlage. Es richt nach heißen Öldampf, so wie ein Ventildeckel. Der Schrauber meinte, daß sein am Anfang normal, nachdem der Motor wieder zusammengebaut wurde.
Nun, mir gefällt es nicht. Der Motor ist trocken, kein Öl am Unterboden. Hast Du eine Idee?

Schönes Wochenende, Ralf

Hi Ralf,

good to hear you got it sorted

Oil smell inside
If you have the 3.0D, you might have to clear the engine housing around the oilfilter. I had this after a oil change done by a garage. This oil will smell for a few 1000 km
But you are right, Oil smell inside is not very cool

DE: Falls du den 3.0D hast, hat der einige fiese Rippen um den Ölfitler herum. Da lagert sich ganz gerne Öl ab, falls man beim Filterwechsel nicht aufpasst. War bei mir auch so. 1h intensive Reinigung mit Schraubendreher und Lappen und Bremsenreiniger und da war es gut.

Cheers
Dirk
