How to change the ventilated seat filters on a Jaguar XJL

I’m picking up a 2011 portfolio tomorrow, one owner, 52,000 miles flawless. I’m excited to rejoined the jag family. I will email you once I take possession for assistance.

Thanks bro, I had no idea there was even a filter for the seats 😂. Discovered your vids when I got my 2011 XJL, almost 2 years ago and they have never failed me. Im going to order those filters ASAP. Just changed out my cabin filter and bought one with charcoal as you recommended. I actually also recently changed my air filters under the hood. If anyone reading this has a check engine code P010B, the following might help. When I purchased the car, I was told that a full tune-up had just been preformed so I didn't bother to look at the air filters until my check engine light came on. I used my OBD2 scanner to see what was wrong and it read the following code: P010B. This code is for MASS or VOLUME AIR FLOW 'B' CIRCUIT RANGE/PERFORMANCE. One of the reasons that code can come up is bc of malfunctioning MAF sensors so I checked the air filters (2011 XJL has 2) and noticed they were FILTHY. I was so mad (mostly at myself for not having checked them sooner). Sometimes just changing out the filters and running the car will fix the problem but its generally advised that you clean your MAF sensors when you change out your air filter in any car. Bc of how dirty the filters were I assumed that the MAF sensors were either just as dirty (causing the malfunction) or they were no longer any good bc they were never routinely cleaned. Being that each sensor was on avg $300+ and a can of MAF sensor cleaning fluid was only about 7 bucks, I decided to first clean them rather than jumping to replacing them. After upgrading my air filter to some nice reusable/washable ones and removing/cleaning my MAF sensors (which was honestly just as easy as swapping out the air filters), I cleared the check engine light and drove it for about 40 miles to see if the permanent code would clear. Luckily so, cleaning them was enough to get the permanent code to be removed and I didn't have to replace them. To make a long story short, don't forget to CLEAN YOUR MAF SENSORS WHEN REPLACING YOUR AIR FILTERS!

Thanks for the video. Those filters are $66.02 each in the US. I am glad that I didn't quote you. LOL...

Brilliant video, thank you

Great video!! Will be doing this!!

Oh wow. Will do soon

Nice! I’m on it 👍🏼

❤ thank you

Thanks

thanks a lot

Do you know what Jag models the 2011 XJL parts are interchangeable with?

Could you cover this (future or past), I installed new (2020) GPS data into my 2011 XJL, and the NAV function still works (cough), but is so slow. Someone told me there is a disk drive under the driver seat with an SD card. He thought that if I increase the size of the SD card storage, the NAV might work better.

FYI, there is another filter behind the seat back, and that's a lot more work to change. My back seats have these filters.

These filters are only for front seats or its there for rear seats too?

You seen any errors for adaptive dynamic fault failure?

There's two filters in each of the seats. The one you missed is in the seat back accessed by pulling the back off from behind. BTW do you still own this car?

Wait, these don't strain your farts and make them smell like Geo F. Trumper's Extract of Limes?
