Engine cranks, but will not start in cold weather (below -15°C/5°F)
  • Fuel waxing/gelling in cold weather
  • Fuel filter restricted or blocked by fuel solidification
NOTE: If the fuel filter requires replacement as a result of restrictions or blockages caused by fuel gelling or waxing as a result of cold weather extremes, the replacement filter will NOT be covered by warranty
  • Check the fuel filter for restrictions/blockages. If evidence of fuel waxing/gelling is noted, first attempt to warm the vehicle/fuel system to minimum temperature of at least 3°C/38°F. It is recommended that the vehicle is brought into a garage or workshop to be allowed to warm up
  • If evidence of fuel waxing/gelling is noted, the fuel filter should be replaced
  • A Jaguar Land Rover approved diesel fuel additive should be added to the fuel (using the recommended dosage). Both the fuel and the additive should be at a minimum temperature of at least 3°C/38°F. Jaguar Land Rover Product Development have validated the following BG products - DFC Plus HP Extra Cold weather performance (BG Part no 23711)/DFC Plus HP Extra Cold weather performance with Cetane improver (BG Part no 23811)
  • After the fuel additive has been introduced to the fuel, allow the vehicle to idle for a short time in order for the additive to mix thoroughly with the diesel fuel
Fuel gauge reading empty with fuel in the fuel tank
  • Active fuel level sensor circuit open circuit
  • Passive fuel level sensor circuit open circuit
  • Instrument cluster internal failure
  • Refer to the electrical circuit diagrams and check the active fuel level sensor circuit for open circuit, high resistance
  • Refer to the electrical circuit diagrams and check the passive fuel level sensor circuit for open circuit, high resistance
  • Using the Jaguar Land Rover approved diagnostic equipment, perform the guided diagnostic routine - Fuel Level Sensor Test
Fuel gauge not reading empty with no fuel in the fuel tank
  • Jet pump fault or fuel crossover tube blocked or leaking
  • Using the Jaguar Land Rover approved diagnostic equipment, check datalogger signals - Fuel Level Sensor Pump/Active/A (0xD908) - Fuel Level Sensor Eject/Passive/B (0xD907). If the right sensor reads empty when the left sensor reads more than empty, check that the jet pump is transferring fuel from the left side to the right side
