Hello folks, Ive had this 2008 XJ Sovereign for six months and other than silly little faults i think its the best car i have driven. but..... after boost starting it went into the dreaded "restricted performance" and has a turbo charger fault code logged, Im a technician and have located the driverside turbo actuator as the problem, as its not sold seperatley (so im told) I did read somewhere that the actuators can be repaired. Can anyone tell me whereabouts?

Many Thanks

Stu,

 

Have you tried an internet search using some key words ?

Sorry for the delay, I thought I should post a fix.

As I own a garage I stripped off the turbo which was an awful job ! and found that the actuator rod had jammed, I opened the electric actuator drive and noted the arm had went to far and jammed, so I gently released it and applied some ceramic grease to the internal gearing and linkage and had no problems thereafter.

 

Hi guys

I wish i searched for this link first. I have had this problem and ordered a second hand turbo.

Just had it fitted today, but the fault is still on the dash board after having the faults cleared with a snap on computer.

Does anyone know what the problem could be???

 

What fault code/s do you have since you replaced the turbo?

 

The fault code is P132B

 

Sukki - The Jaguar Workshop Manual reads as follows:
P132B00
Variable geometry
turbocharger (VGT) actuator
performance (right hand
bank)
VGT actuator circuit(s):
high resistance,
short circuit to
ground, short
circuit to power
Turbocharger vanes
stuck/sticking
VGT actuator failure
ECM failure
For right hand bank VGT
actuator circuit tests, GO to
Pinpoint Test G552276p2.
Refer to the warranty policy
and procedure manual if an
ECM is suspect.

 

Thanks for that Bladevane.

Thats been a great help. I will let you know when i get this resolved.

Thanks again

I have same fault on my 2007 Sovereign. Fault code is P132E Did you manage to solve the problem?

 

HI,
i have the same problem on my XJ 350 from 2006. I want to know if someone had resolved this problem ?

 

Yes. Read the thread!

 

After trying several garages in the area, who said they were unable to do anything, I took the car to our local Jaguar Agent in Nimes. The result was that they replaced both Turbos (Apparently Jaguar insist that both have to be replaced) at a total cost of €5044!! Extortion!!

No problems since then!
