Hi All,
Second post about XE 2016 Model.
Lights coming up on dashboard (ABS/AEB/FWD Alert/ASPC/ACC/DSC/Traction), this first occurred while driving. I had the car about a year at this point. It was intermittent at first, and seemed to reset if I turned car engine off then turned it back on.
After a week it remained illuminated all the time regardless of turn offs. I lived with it for about 4 weeks as I wasn't travelling for work much then took a "how hard can this be" approach. Looking into the wheel arch I found (front passenger wheel) a sensor had come loose, and dangling. I couldn't find where it latches/plugs in so ended up taping it to closest harness that was also hold this same wire, this fixed the issue.
For about 5 months all has been swell then last week they illuminated again.... Checked the sensor which is still taped tort to the harness so not that, took it into Kwik Fit for a diagnostics they thought sensors were OK. They sent me this link (coincidentally I had known about this link from before but my DYI/hack-n-slash worked so go figure). The link depicts a shoddy design which meant water will build up in the hub causing the issues and the way around this is to drill a hole into the hub for drainage: https://pmmonline.co.uk/technical/abs-w ... luminated/.
Called JLR Harwards (with alot more detail) asking if they are familiar with this issue and would they be able fix it. they straight up said they'd replace the sensor for £200 no diagnostics needed or anything. I've asked whether it was necessary to replace and spend this given that I've also read reviews online where replacing sensors does sweet Franky Abott about the design flaw in the housing.
Anyway, trying to phone around the various JLR specialists to see if anyone has done the cosmetics before and can beat Harwards price as I don't particularly want to give them any money given that they have frankly been the worst automotive services department I've ever dealt with.
I'll report back when I get the issue sorted and what it was. In the meantime if anyone has had/seen similar please let me know.
