Pinpoint Test B: Confirm Leak

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 12 other vehicles, including the 2015 Jaguar XKR-S, 2015 Jaguar XKR, 2015 Jaguar XK, 2014 Jaguar XKR-S, and 2014 Jaguar XKR. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. B1: ROAD TEST 
    1. Clean all traces of oil from the damper
    2. Drive the vehicle over a speed bump or similar ten times

    Is any fluid visible on the outside of the damper?

    • Yes  : GO to PINPOINT TEST C .
    • No  : Damper not faulty, do not renew.
      NOTE: If a significant quantity of fluid has leaked out of the damper, the dividing piston will be displaced upwards in the tube by the pressure of the gas below it. This will limit the downward travel of the piston.
