My 2005 Jaguar XJ Vanden Plas is currently failing to pass emissions and the problem is supposedly the Charcoal Canister.

The OE part number is C2C22267

I find a lot of references to this part number as being compatible for the 2005 Vanden Plas as well. I can't find anything that indicates if C2C22267 is different than C2C9584:
PART NUMBER: C2C9584
REPLACES: C2C4442

Does anyone have any line on obtaining this part - besides buying one from a junkyard? It's apparently been discontinued and no longer manufactured.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you.

 

Increasingly there are extinct parts for the X350. While I'm not sure whether it's the valve that has failed or the carbon and filters are just worn out (did they give you codes?), I have heard of people rebuilding canisters with new activated charcoal. You best bet might be used parts. Here's one: https://www.ebay.com/itm/11465018165...IAAOSwdB1gDx6M. <-- oops, wrong year

 

Thanks. Yeah - the shop told me it's the valve not sealing properly.

It's unfortunate that there are parts going extinct. I personally think the X350 are some of the best built that they ever made and have the potential to run a long time if we keep things in good repair. My car honestly doesn't drive / run too terribly different than when I bought it back in 2009 so I'd hate to see something like a charcoal canister keep it off the road.

I found one on eBay (which I'm not going to share the link to because I don't want it to disappear). The biggest question is - the shop is telling me the Vanden Plas has a different part than the regular XJ8. I'm not finding anything to substantiate that.

 

Since I bought my 2005 VDP, I have found that there are A LOT of parts that say they will not fit because they are VDP. I can not believe that the VDP parts are different from the regular xj8 parts. Other than the long wheel base. Can someone confirm this for me?

 

I don't own a VDP, but I would be 99% confident saying that none of the mechanical parts are different from the base XJ. VDP was a trim level on the XJ. Jaguar was not making changes to the running gear for piping on the seats, lambs wool rugs, and tray tables...

 

maybe they diaged the dmtl pump?

full canister is a rare failure

 

Yeah - I could see there being a part specific to the XJ8L, Vanden Plas and Super V8, but nothing that would be different just for the Vanden Plas. With that being said, I located the canister on eBay and the seller says they have several that are pulled from a Vanden Plas, so they're going to send me one of those.

@xalty The current shop claims it's a valve on the canister assembly that isn't sealing properly and is causing the EVAP system to not go to the ready state because it's detecting a small leak in the system. I had the car at the local Jaguar dealer for over a month and they couldn't find specifically what was wrong, but they assumed it was maybe something with the charcoal canister. I'm going to ask for the old part back, just in case it would be possible to rebuild that portion at some point. It looks like a difficult part to find.

Maybe sometime soon I can have the o'le red girl back. I haven't been able to drive it since the beginning of June because it won't pass the WI emissions test until I get the EVAP system in working condition again.

 

Any luck with the evap system?
My 2004 XJ8 VDP has been off the road for years due to a "small evap leak" that will not let the emissions cycle complete. It still runs & drives great.

 

The shop I have it at right now is pretty confident that the part that is failed is a valve made by Denso (I find it ironic that the Japanese part is the least reliable of the 3 on the unit).
There is a Ford piece also that is supposedly fine. The Visteon vapor canister is also supposedly fine too.
Basically, they did a smoke test on the unit and they claim that Denso valve isn't completely sealing and that is what is causing the Small EVAP Leak Codes. They also mentioned to me that the part is pretty rusty on my car - which could be contributing to the failure.
The repair isn't cheap, unfortunately, They have to drop the differential to get at it and I think the shop mentioned about 5-6 hours of labor as an estimate. If everything goes smoothly, I will maybe have the car back tomorrow - which is pretty exciting because I haven't been able to drive it since the beginning of June.

Now that I purchased the part, I'll share the link I used: https://www.ebay.com/itm/254488997448
The seller was nice and he sent me a part off from a Vanden Plas. The one I got was in nice shape, so I suspect the parts probably came from Texas cars - none of this rusty midwest stuff. My car has been in Wisconsin since 2009 and in Long Island, New York from 2005-2009 - so probably hasn't had the easiest life.

Obviously, it might not be the same exact failure on yours, so your best first step would be to have a shop test your system. Incidentally, I see you are in Downers Grove, the guys at my dealership recommended the dealers by you to diagnose EVAP system failures as they supposedly have some older technicians that still understand the VDP of our style.

If you end up having to replace the vapor canister, I would recommend using this contact form to tell Jaguar that you need that part as well:

They told me that if they get enough requests for a particular part, they might put it back into production.


I hope this helps. Good luck with your car.

 

codes stored? MIL on? how many monitors are not setting?

IL emissions is easy to pass i can give you a hand

 

that’s the canister close valve aka CCV aka vent solenoid, never was available separate for x350. it’s attached to a filter/separator which is that box thing.

the x308 CCV is the same connector, shape and size. in all likelihood it’s the same part

 

I hope to go visit the Jag in the next week or 2. I'll check for codes then and let you know.
Any help would be great. Thanks!

 

Solenoid vent valve failure causing the slight evap leak code. Had to have it smoke tested an as found gas tank fill pipe als0 rusted and leaking. Had to use salvage parts because non are available from research this particular assembly was only used 2 model years. The biggest issue is the labor required to drop the rear axel sub assembly to get at it. It's not accessible with out removing the bottom of the car. I beleive the labor and salvage parts were is excess of $1,500+.

 

Yeah - they said my part was pretty rusty too - probably due to being in Wisconsin. I bought parts from a Texas store on eBay and that part looked very nice.
It was $1100 or so for my repair and then the part was $150.
The EVAP codes finally cleared on my car. I'm just working on getting CCM set and I found another forum post on here that said how to do that.
I have too much gas in the car at the moment to make that set - need to run it down to 85% and then I should finally be good for emissions again.

 

Hi guys same problem here .
hooked it to Sdd engine light is gone on the dash now for 50km.
trying to resolve problem too. Depending on country they do or do not scan the car France does for example.
