The short version
- A Jaguar wheel bearing on the XF splits on the length of the ABS sensor cord. Nothing about the car decides it.
- 513411 is cited with a 33.74 inch cord, 513371 with a 35.43 inch cord, in the same year.
- Nothing in the year, engine or trim separates them. You measure the wire on the old part.
- The Ford Expedition carries the same trap, which is the only other place on this site it appears.
Two vehicles on this entire site are decided by a piece of cable. One is a full size American truck. The other is this.
The reason is the same in both cases. The hub is sold with the harness attached, and two lengths ran through the same years.
Measure the cord
On the 2009 XF, 513411 is cited with a 33.74 inch cord. 513371 carries the 35.43 inch cord.
The same pair appears on the 2003 to 2008 cars. Measure from the hub face to the connector.
Order the short one for a car that needs the long one and it will not reach the connector.

Why a splice is not the answer
A wheel speed sensor sends a small signal the control module reads at speed. It is sensitive to resistance and interference.
A roadside splice in that circuit is a future intermittent fault rather than a fix.
Get the right length. That is on the ABS light page.
A heavy car built quiet
These are heavy and very well insulated, which is a poor combination for hearing a bearing early.
The weight loads the hub while the cabin hides the noise. Owners tend to arrive late rather than early.
Those are on the vehicle weight page and the noise page.
Large wheels are standard here
Most of these left the factory on large diameter wheels with short sidewalls.
A taller wheel is a longer lever on the bearing. A short sidewall absorbs less of what the road delivers.
Neither effect is dramatic alone. On a heavy car over years, they add up.
That is on the spacers page.
Diagnosing a Jaguar wheel bearing
- Measure the ABS cord on the old part where two lengths are listed.
- Drive with the windows down, because the cabin hides early noise.
- Weave at road speed and note which side loads the noise.
- Rock the wheel at twelve and six.
- Scan for wheel speed codes, since the sensor is part of the hub.
Those are on the checking page and the tire noise page.
Common questions
Which Jaguar wheel bearing fits my XF?
Measure the ABS cord. A 33.74 inch cord is cited as 513411 and a 35.43 inch cord as 513371.
How do I measure it?
From the hub face to the connector, on the part you are taking off.
Can I splice the wrong one?
Not sensibly. The sensor circuit is low signal and a splice becomes an intermittent fault.
Does any other vehicle do this?
The Ford Expedition, and only that one on this site.
Do I need a press?
On the modern range no. These use bolt on hub units.
Why did I not hear it sooner?
The cabin insulation is very good, which masks early bearing noise.
Should I replace both sides?
Only what is worn.
