Please help guys, its depressing.

Car went limp just going to bottom of my street. I thought it was battery as it was low, replaced with a new one. Car was at Jaguar 3.5 months ago.



Any idea what this sounds like.

Hi and welcome. See this is your first post.

Where are you in the world?
The video does not work.
What is the history of the car and the issue - more details please.

Lots of folks on here will help if you can supply more information. A low battery won't cause limp mode and multiple errors in the screenshots provided.

This is very similar to a previous topic from someone who never replied.

So the car was working perfectly OK other than a low battery. You drove down the road, engine limp mode came on, you drove the car home. Now it won't start and reports misfires on all cylinders and multiple crank and camshaft errors.

Obviously something else has happened. Fill in the gaps. Why was the car at Jaguar 3 months ago?

When i took it out it was a for a midnight snack, I let the car warm up for 3 minutes.

Then i drove it down my street 200m, i heard a knocking noise. Then I drove it back home.

I thought it was the battery that the issue cause it was low battery, tested the battery at workshop it was confirmed low and i got an exchange.

Put new battery in at home and the video is what i get.


It was at jaguar 3.5 months ago because I had a big complaint with them about my engine mounts that both were broken and catalytic converter at 33,000 KM cause engine light to always come on, it took a few visits for everyone to diagnose. I ended up going to the top and the director was working with me. He said jaguar would do a thorough inspection top to bottom.

Do you check your oil level frequently/regularly? Was it okay. not overfilled, etc?

You havn't put diesel in it instead of petrol. Or someone who does not like you putting water or something in tank. Hope you get it sorted soon. Again what was it in at the dealers 3 months ago FOR.

Does Jaguar offer an "assistance" whereby they come to your house and if they can't start it, take it to the dealer.
It's really a depressing sound (not starting) from an F type. But it doesn't sound like the battery - the crank is still strong.

Something that's occured to me, these cars all have the "cold start" - where it cranks once or thrice and then starts with a high rev. Your car clearly isn't doing that - could that be a problem ?
Is the fuel pump OK ?
You mentioned work on the cat converter. The cat converter is linked to the Lambda sensor which regulates the air intake - like a loop.
Perhaps check the functio of the lambda sensor.

Hello jimmysydney,
This has to be misfuelling or contamination?
