The average cost for a Jaguar F-Type Fuel Pump Replacement is between $1,301 and $1,352. Labor costs are estimated between $197 and $248 while parts are typically priced around $1,104. This range does not include taxes and fees, and does not factor in your unique location. Related repairs may also be needed. Doing both at the same time should drastically reduce the labor cost on the 2nd one, as the majority of work removing parts to get to the first one does not have to be repeated.

[@thatslowjag]

I can tell you Wizard that you should look into the injectors first. They are very common for these Jags. If one fails stuck open, it will cause the high-side fuel system pressure to DIP. The high pressure pumps aren't that common to fail on these (compared to injectors), especially both at the same time. Injectors however, yes due to the carbon buildup from the engines. The excess smoke from the exhaust is not from the injectors being "commanded" to supply more fuel from weak high pressure pumps, but more from the actual injector being stuck open, specifically on cylinder number 8.

[@MarkoVukovic0]

This makes the most sense, instead of both pumps failing.

[@Koop415]

Back in ~2010s it was fairly common to see BMW's with the N54 puking out smoke like that from a stuck injector(s). It could look fairly dramatic but not all that difficult to deal with. Pull the spark plugs and look for the ones that were wet with fuel. Then replace those injectors or if the index # was too low replace all the injectors. The important part was to perform an oil change after fixing it because usually some of that unburnt fuel got into the oil, not just the exhaust. I think most of the N54 engines that ended up with a rod knock during this time it was either from hydrolocking the fuel b/c of a stuck open injector or the fuel affecting the engine oils lubrication if enough of it made its way past the rings into the oil pan.

[@DigitalDissident]

Another reason I went with an N55. At least on the BMWs inline six the injectors are easy to reach unlike these Jaguars.

The last year a Jaguar F-Type had a hydraulic power steering system was 2015; starting with the 2016 model year, all F-Types switched to electric power assisted steering (EPAS) as standard across the range.

[@Keless]

lol 2:30 That’s not odometer, it’s trip odometer A

[@andrewthomason3857]

OK, that makes more sense now. I couldn’t understand how all the touch surfaces in the interior could look so gross on a car with such low mileage, not to mention the failed HPFPs.

[@Marc816]

I once heard about somebody who owned a Jaguar. It was stolen. He then said that was one of the best things that ever happened to him

[@mikewilkerson936]

One must be very aware if one owns a Jaguar. My 2004 S Type needed new upper ball joints. One Jaguar parts place had them for $700 each. Another Jaguar parts place had them for only $400 each. Or I could have gone down to the local Autozone and gotten them for $174 each. Went online and checked out the usual places. Moog, Delphi and such were in the $84-87 each range. Then I found the actual manufacturer has them for $55 each. Hmm, tuff decision. It is like that for a lot of parts. For instance the ZF transmission pan/filter assembly costs $160-170, unless one buys from ZF transmissions. $58. Do you know a BMW transmission service costs $700?

[@petrosaguilar8916]

A lot of people are sick of these mark ups on just about everything. To add insult to injury many American mechanics mark up these already marked up parts.

[@petrosaguilar8916]

Who was actual manufacturer by the way?

My mother used to own a 2015 Jaguar F-type, which is a fast car, but it requires frequent visits to a mechanic's shop, lol. She sold it and purchased a 2021 Lexus LC 500, with which she has had no issues, and it still runs like new.

[@indolentcheese]

You can teach an old dog new tricks. No offense to your Mother but it was wise of her to ditch that "prestige" British POS for reliability and resale value. Granted, Jags are cool & sexy but being hit with an unexpected huge repair bill now and then is a bit annoying.

I used to work for Jaguar and this is one of the most enjoyable cars to rip on. The sound is absolutely visceral. Unlike so many other cars. You sacrifice a lot for that unique experience but it really is so worth it if you have the money like that.

When my supercharged AJ 5.0 did that - it was the fuel injectors that got stuck open. I thought that was a crap job to do.

Theyre on the phone with the 4th shop

[@DarthVader1977]

They should just Google it. "The average cost for a Jaguar F-Type Fuel Pump Replacement is between $1,301 and $1,352. Labor costs are estimated between $197 and $248 while parts are typically priced around $1,104. This range does not include taxes and fees, and does not factor in your unique location. Related repairs may also be needed."

You can hear that it needs the supercharger bushing replaced too. It’s that clattering sound when you shut it off.

Injector replacement

[@DeadpanPear]

Exactly. I've been in the industry all of 8 months and even I can tell this is most likely a stuck #8 injector.

As a f type owner this looks like a blown fuel injectors and this is 1000% avoidable by just putting injector cleaners every oil change these cars will take care of you if you take care of it

Side note sounds like it needs a supercharger coupler as well

[@glennob7663]

I think you’ve mis diagnosed this. These engines are known to have issues with stuck open injectors if owners use cheap fuel. If an injector sticks open the pumps can’t reach the required pressure. Car needs its injectors pulling and replacing

[@rustynail7866]

I remember in 1975, when my daughter was born, the gynecologist had a jag and a 67 GTO. He told me he always drove the GTO when it was time to deliver so he would make it to the hospital without a breakdown.

[@danielsteward5090]

I was thinking it was a faulty fuel pressure regulator diaphragm. That is what usually causes this issue on those older XJ-R or XJ-S. Or the fuel pressure sensors.

C'mon... Might be 3 book hours for either pump... But also for both (maybe an additional half hour for the second one)... What you have to remove to get to one is already out of the way for the second. 😅

When a dealer stocks up on parts or assemblies, that's a big red flag! I was in a Nissan dealer's garage recently. I saw 7 crates in one area and 5 in another. I asked about them. The 7 were transmission assemblies ready to go in and the 5 were transmission cores ready to go back. I found out they were CVT transmissions. That told me a lot! Maybe more than he thought he was letting onto.

The Chrysler/Jeep dealer where I purchased a $70,000 truck quoted me $3000 to fix my truck. I fixed it myself and it costed me $66. That was 60,000 miles ago. Problem was the EGR. It was nothing more than carbon buildup,
