Jaguar engines that log P2002

  • 2.0d Ingenium (XE/XF/F-Pace)
  • 3.0 TDV6 (XF/XJ)

How we diagnose P2002 on a Jaguar

  1. Check oil for fuel dilution
  2. DPF data read
  3. Forced regen via JLR Pathfinder
  4. Ultrasonic clean if regen fails

The common misdiagnosis to avoid

Don't quote a DPF on Ingenium without checking for the well-known oil dilution issue — that causes regen failure as a symptom.

Jaguar P2002 repair cost in the UK

Expect £260–£3200 including parts and labour at an independent garage. Main-dealer quotes on Jaguar are usually higher for the same job, and the spread exists because the cheap cause and the expensive cause throw the same code — pay for the diagnosis before you pay for parts.

Bob's workshop tip

Ingenium 2.0d P2002 + diluted oil = service + regen, that order. Don't skip the oil.
