Car miss diagnosis from diesel experts help!!

Took my jaguar x type to a diesel specialist as car was cutting off on motorway and engine management light was saying a fuel pump code P0251.

The diesel specialist diagnosed it as fuel injectors and replaced all 4 and the fuel filter for. £625 including vat. Anyway just found out it's the fuel pump so basically I believe my car was missdiagnosed. I'm going to see garage tommorow and was looking for advice as to how to play it? Should they be paying for repair or is it not there fault? Garage told me it was injectors and never made me aware that it might not be?

all 4 injectors as well surely all 4 weren't gone as car was driving spot on prior to it cutting out? as you can see I'm not an expert and I'm looking for advice? if repair might not work surely I should have been made aware of this? so angry Carnt afford to folk out any more money

Thanks in advance

You're probably better off looking on the Jaguar forum here.

You haven't said who diagnosed the pump.

Thanks but I find people on here more helpfull!!

I think a lot will depend on how it was said (and if you can prove it). If they said it is probably the injectors or it is the injectors. They may now say it was a process of elimination.

What happens if you have a new pump and it is still not right?

Sadly I've seen this at least three times, twice by the AA. They've read the code, assumed it was the high pressure fuel pump because the code related to low fuel pressure at this point and recommended that.

In one of the cases it was a blocked fuel filter (cost £ eight) and the other two was a problem with the lift pump in the fuel tank - one needed stripping down and the built in filter cleaning, the other needed a new second hand pump. Both were on cars done well over 150,000 miles and beyond the expected life of the car.

Always get a second opinion, preferably from someone familiar with your marque, and knows how to interpret fault codes and read live data, rather than blindly reading the fault code.

Do you have update on how the meeting when today,

Been told to drive the car and see how it goes apparently it could just be a duf injector they fitted? I asked em how much a recon fuel pump would be and they said about £700? They refused to knock any money off for labour if I need fuel pump as there saying your fuel injectors were knackered anyway?

He is just flobbing you off. if your fuel pump is not working right. the injectors will die soon as diesel acts as a lubrication for injectors. Dont trust what john hogg said as he is a liar, just search his name on here or internet. he been robbing people for years
