Jaguar Land Rover AdBlue " DEF inferior quality" con
Discussion
Having discovered that I'm not alone in having a count-down to an engine lock-out underway, I've been reading up on various forums & discovered that Jaguar Land Rover have not only known about this problem for 5 years or so, they modified the firmware in late 2017 but abandoned their existing users by not updating their firmware too!
The outcome is that my 34,000 mile Jan 2017 F-Pace has just 480 miles left before it won't start, it's at the local dealers & he's quoted me £1256.82 to do the fix that the manufacturer won't.
There must be thousands of JLR customers - Jaguars, Range Rovers et al affected by this fraud.

Appear to be missing something, cant you just put more adblue in, or are you saying it has a dodgy sensor that's saying the stuff in the tank is not to spec , so doesnt care how much is in the tank? What is the fix your being quoted for ?The outcome is that my 34,000 mile Jan 2017 F-Pace has just 480 miles left before it won't start, it's at the local dealers & he's quoted me £1256.82 to do the fix that the manufacturer won't.

theres an old thread here it seems https://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&...
We had a similar issue with my citroen cactus. Ad blue fault with countdown warning.
Faulty sensor not available seperate to the tank. Luckily citroen covered it as manufacturing fault as fairly common. 65 plate and fault happened last year so well out of warranty.
If citroen can cover it on a £18k tin can of a car then why can't JLR on a £40k+ car?
