Hi Guys,

I picked up a MIL with a P2402 code on my 2012 XJ. . I had just filled the tank to full, driven 3 miles then parked under a blistering sun for 90mins. The code cleared, and has not returned on 6x On/Off cycles. The code indicates an EVAP pump failure, which requires dropping the diff to replace, any advice greatly appreciated.

Hey wombat. I had this happen on my 2011 around 80,000 miles. Turns out the canister itself actually was cracked, but I changed that out with an eBay used one as well as a new pump. Total for those two items were about $200, and had a very decent deal at a shop who did the work for $350.

After those were swapped out, no more code. And yes, you are correct, the rear does need to be dropped.

It could, however, be a false positive, and indicative of a fuel filler line collapse or leak, but just something to keep an eye on I guess.

 

Hi SovietKitsch,

Thanks for the feedback. I was leaning towards a scenario where I'd put 19 gallons of, relatively, cold fuel into a warm tank and then baked it at 105Ffor 90mins.

I don't drive this car very often, and had left it off the CTEK for a week or so (my bad), I went to drive her today and the doors wouldn't open just by pulling the handle and the windows went all wacky....Bulb goes off in head! The battery is 6 years old and is well past its sell by date.

Off to get a new battery in the morning, then sell her.....Or then again!

 

Hate to see you sell and go but it happens.

Hey club,

I'm not going anywhere, still got the 575 and the nagger's F-Pace! I've kept the 2012 N/A for two reasons;

1. The 575 is not the most relaxing car to drive in traffic....well, if I'm honest, anywhere! If you don't concentrate, you'll be doing silly speeds in a heat beat.
2. I often leave for work v early. If I "forget" to put the 575 back to normal mode, it'll wake up every dog, cat, child or dinosaur within a 1000 miles. I then take the 2012.
3. I don't like selling cars that I've lived with, and loved, for a significant part of my life. It, at least to me, is not just an "appliance". I kept my XK8 for 15 years then someone offered me silly money for what really was a garage brick that never moved......OK, that's 3 reasons.

RESOLVED!

P2402 & P2406

Carbon canister, EVAP pump and fuel neck replaced.

It involves dropping the whole rear end just to get at the canister and pump. In my case, all the electrical connections were fine, but the canister looked like it had been part of Noah's Ark!!!

They completed the job for the quoted price in the TSB (5.5hrs)...they needed the car for 6 days as they struggled with the rear sub-frame!!

Bonus points for doing the job on cost, swapping out other worn components (bushes, drop links etc) without any extra charge AND giving me a 2020 F-Pace SVR to blast with for a week.

Oh, before I forget....$2600!!!!!!! YIKES!!!

So, it wasn't the battery!

Oh, the rear end mild 'clunk' has gone!
