TC/Air Scoops???
Hey guys - I was just reading in another post about the TC/Air Scoops...
What are they? Where are they? Does every X-Type have them? Do I really need to remove them in the winter?
Can someone please explain? I have a hard time believing that Jag would make a car where you have to add/remove parts based on seasons...?
Thanks!

I take mine off for the winter as I've lost mine to deep snow before. But on it goes when snow melts as I believe it's one of big contributor to TC longevity.
The cooling scoop was late add before the x-type went on sale. It's been suggested that durability tests were failing TC without the duct.
It's $45 sources on the net. I would gladly pay $5 for the home brew part if it's still available.

The Jaguar part number for the cooling duct is C2S18834.
See the red arrow in the pic below, the bolt that holds the scoop is about two inches the right of the oil drain plug. If you look, you will probably also see that the moutning tab from the scoop is still there.
There is an old thread where user canman made his own out of metal:

Thanks to the nifty pics in this thread and the other one DZTT referenced I was able to locate......my plastic tab! Anyway, I think I might have it replaced at least once and then keep an eye on it to see when it gets ripped off. Does anyone know how much the dealer charges for these? I am planning on a 30K service sometime in January so i think I will have them slap one on for me while it is up on the lift.
