FPace S Intercooled?

It’s not an intercooler under the supercharger, it’s the oil cooler. There is a plastic pipe which runs behind the water pump directly back into the oil cooler. The pipe and its gaskets can leak, the oil cooler gasket can leak, the water pump can leak. The Y pipe and it’s other pipe that connects to it can leak, the small pipe that goes into the water pump can leak. The overflow pipe can leak. The reservoir can leak. And the manifold pipe behind the supercharger can leak. So, done right, it can be a pretty pricey job. The labor is not insignificant. There are some URO branded metal replacement pipes that are upgrades to the JLR plastic pipes.

Similar issue with my 16 F Pace S, there is a faulty/defective plastic Y shaped pipe that is a relatively easy fix and may well be your problem. Jag replaced them for free if it failed during warrantee timeframe and don't if it's outside of this time. It's poor form from Jaguar.

Well, I have spent $3400 to repair the coolant crossover pipe at 40,000 miles ($550), and $2800 to pull the supercharger and replace the coolant pipes under the supercharger at 53,000 miles. For a premier auto line, this is pathetic. $3400 in coolant system repairs in 5 years? I expect better.

I just had this done at the dealer as well. They replaced all of the associated plumbing and seals mentioned above with an updated version because of a small leak, in addition to resealing the valve covers due to oil seeping around both of them as well. They didn’t replace the water pump. Thankfully it was covered by my extended service contract, but the bill for the total work was $3300, plus my $150 deductible. My 17 S is at 56k mikes, so we’re in a similar situation.
