  Hen 3-1341 is a symbiotic binary system consisting of a white dwarf and a red
giant star that is one of about ten symbiotics that show hints of jets. The
bipolar jets have been detected through displaced components of emission lines
during its outburst from 1998 to 2004. These components disappeared when Hen
3-1341 reached quiescence. On February 23, 2012, Hen 3-1341 started a new
outburst with the emergence of new bipolar jets on March 3, 2012. We observed
Hen 3-1341 during quiescence with XMM-Newton in March 2010 with an effective
exposure time of 46.8 ks and with Swift on March 8-11, 2012 as ToO observations
with an effective exposure time of 10 ks in order to probe the interaction of
the jet with the ambient medium and also the accretion onto the white dwarf. We
fitted the XMM-Newton X-ray spectra with XSPEC and examined the X-ray and UV
light curves. We report the detection of X-ray emission during quiescence from
Hen 3-1341 with XMM-Newton. The spectrum can be fitted with an absorbed
one-temperature plasma or an absorbed blackbody. We did not detect Hen 3-1341
during our short Swift exposure. Neither periodic or aperiodic X-ray nor UV
variability were found. Our XMM-Newton data suggest that interaction of the
residual jet with the interstellar medium might survive for a long time after
outbursts and might be responsible for the observed X-ray emission during
quiescence. Additional data are strongly needed to confirm these suggestions.
