X-Type & S-Type Turbo Actuator Fault
Jaguar X-Type / S-Type Turbo Actuator Problem
Fault: Flashing glow plug light on the dash.
This actuator is a very common problem for the Diesel Jaguar X-Type and S-Type vehicles Built between 2003 and 2010. Malfunction of the actuator on the Variable Geometry Turbo (VGT) will force the engine into limp home mode with a drastic decline in power. On the instrument cluster the glow plug light will flash and often the warning ‘Gearbox Fault’ will appear on the cluster LCD screen. All these symptoms may begin intermittently but will become permanent over time.
P132A and/or P132B fault codes will often be found when diagnosing the vehicle for the above symptoms. Depending on the diagnostic scanner used these may display as “unknown” or will offer a description along the lines of: turbocharger/supercharger boost control fault/performance. Both fault codes relate directly to the VGT actuator.
These actuators control the variable geometry in your turbo and are not available separately from the main dealer, you must buy the complete turbo for a small fortune.
We offer a far more efficient solution of rebuilding the turbo actuator at a fraction of the cost of buying new. Our test and rebuild service will save you a lot of time and money, and due to our high standard of work we provide an unlimited mile Lifetime Warranty*
