Can we talk about the 5.0L water pump

Have a 2010 XKR that I just took to the dealership for a pressuretest and just found out the water pump leaks. They quoted me about $900 and I very politely asked for a corporatephone number to call to see if I could get Jaguar to pay for it. Did not buy the car from the local dealershipnor has it ever been there for maintenance as I do that myself. Dealership takes the lead and makes the callfor me and it is now being fixed at no charge. I dropped the car of Monday at 8 AM and had it totally resolved by 9:30AM. 33,000 miles with no extended warranty. Needless to say I've very happy! The Asheville, NC dealership is the best!

There has been mention of "catastrophic" water pump failure. I have never seen a major failure in a water pump so I'm a little confused here. My old Ferrari 308 was prone to pump failure due to the early small bearing and seal design but after improvement in the design they seem to hold. I do agree that lack of use is a contributor to leakage but to me catastrophic implies either a sized bearing or a impeller destruction. So what I am trying to grasp is the engine failure due to a mechanically failure of the pump or just leakage of the front seal over a period of time which eventually ends up with low coolant level and engine overheating.
As a side not has anyone heard of or saw an electric water pump installed on one of these motors.

On my 4.0 XK8, the plastic impeller disintegrated, which was pretty catastrophic as I was on the motorway at the time and once the red light came on, it was a pain getting off. Fortunately, I managed not to cook the engine.
I believe there have been instances with the 5.0 where the bearing has seized, but i agree that most of the cooling-related issues reported on the forum seem to have been due to leaks.

Can you post the dates, mileage and part numbers from your invoices? That could give us some insight into what to expect.
I'm on my second on my XJ 5.0L SC. No problems with the water pump on my 2009 XKR 4.2L; too bad it doesn't fit the 5.0L.

I have to take my XKR for a check as my coolant levels have dropped from, max to min during the last 1K miles.

Can you provide more details? The second failure in 6 months is alarming! I would like to know if the latest failed pump was the newest, Italian - made pump? Hopefully not.

SO far on my 2012 XKR the following has been replaced since purchasing 9/2013 with 10,000 miles on it:
1- All driver side rubber/polymer door seals
2- Driver side rear quarter window re-sealed
3- right diver side door seals only
4- Left driver side window due to scratches and wear (my cost)
5- Water pump x 2, internals x 1
6- Supercharger - yes the entire thing took it in for the marbles problem and they noted sig rotor wear
7-All 4 VVT units I believe called Actuators?
8- The connection tube at the front top of the engine for the air intake system - they accidentally busted it putting it back together this last time after doing the actuators and water pump.
9- Tension Chain Guides
10- Timing Chain with this last actuator and water pumps.
I driven it 17,000 miles and she sits at 27,500
I also corrected and re-sealed the clear coat, front car entire Braw, and had the wheels fixed for curb rash.
LOTS AND LOTS OF LOVE HAS GONE INTO MY THE XKR!!
Finally...bought the 4300 dollar 100,000 mile or to 12/2009 extended jaguar warranty. Not a convenience as much a necessity for the trouble ive had
.... still bloody well love the car as much as the day I bought her!! YEAH!!!

Just had the water pump & belt replaced on my 2010 XKR vert. with 40K miles on it. The old pump has some play in the shaft which allowed the pulley to wobble. It's a good thing I check the engine compartment fairly regularly as this is where I noticed the odd noises coming from the pump. If I had not I would not have taken it in to get checked out. Thus avoiding a possible catastrophic failure and resulting potential engine damage.
On a side note I had the S/C torsion isolator coupler kit work done only about 1500 miles prior. I can only trust there is no correlation between the two issues.
Also experiencing the bubbling leather on the dash issue.
Occasionally get the AFL blinking light issue as well.
Other than a new battery and tires it has been good.

I just ordered a pump and the surrounding plastic bits. It's been slowly leaking and I can see dried coolant settling under the pump area. Apparently there is another new part number: AJ813909
In may when I queried my dealer, they said that C2Z31587 was the latest and greatest... Now it, and the other numbers mentioned on this forum are once again superseded. sigh... I hope this is the one for all of our sakes!

Some coolant smell is normal, since the expansion tank has an outlet for the excess coolant to flow out. It's not a closed system. Even if there is no coolant being discharged, you can smell vapors that escape during normal expansion and contraction.
I just took my XJ in to my dealer for an oil change and mentioned that I occasionally smell coolant. The tech did an inspection and found no dried coolant trails or other signs of the water pump leaking.
