Jaguar xj8 4.0 SE
sounds like a abs sensor has gone down or a common problem is the link leads on the front going open circuit it would be helpfull if you get someone to get the fault codes from the abs module, you can check the link leads and the sensors using a ohmmeter i think the sensor resistance should be about 1100 ohms.
Timing tools
you need flywheel locking tool fits underneath car in place of crank sensor and locking bars to go over cams availiable from spx tools
Error code p1384 and 1396
Hi there:
DTC P1386 - VARIABLE CAM TIMING OVERADVANCEDPossible Causes:- Bank 2 VVT solenoid valve to PCM PWM drive circuit fault. - Bank 2 VVT actuator oil supply fault. - Bank 2 VVT actuator stuck.The biggest issues with vvts are oil supply issues. Useally debris like oil sludge in oil pickup screen, loose bearing clearances as an engine wears, and oil passages blocked/partially blocked to and in vvts. The first (i always shoot for cheapest potential likely fix) use a good engine flush(2 bottle for our higher than normal capacity engines) follow directions on bottle. Change oil and switch to a 20-50w. Leave out 1 quart and add 1 qt auto ****** atf(highly detergent, more so than engine oil and wont hurt anything) while you have overly ******** cam codes, it may be an issue of apply and blockage that keeps pressure in vvts too long when supposed to release. Most times its ******** cams( like the 1 i am doing right now....try this first and go from there, rememebr to clears codes and give time, you may have to clear codes a few times as it may continue to reset. DTC P1396 - VVT Solenoid Malfunction - (B bank)Check HERE a TSB about this faylkt code.Hope this helps; also keep in mind that your feedback is important and I`ll appreciate your time and consideration if you leave some testimonial comment about this answer.Thank you for using FixYa, have a nice day.

try using a battery saver to open it. its a part you can buy at most part stores that plugs into your cigarette lighter and supplys slight power to save your computer settings and may be enough to open the boot..
2000 jetta ac dont blow cold at idle but does fine driving
There is absolutley nothing wrong with your Jetta! The compressor doesn't kick on till the engine is at 2000 rpm. It is the design not the car! I just finished my 509 certification a couple months back and noticed the same problem. Only to find out there is no problem so don't waist a whole bunch of money to fix something thats not broken its the deisgn.
How to clean wheel sensor jaguar xj8
This all depends on if it is a wheel sensor. you will need to locate the sensor which is one on each wheel, remove the sensor and just clean off. reinstall sensor.The best thing to do is have the computer scanned to see what code is stored, the code will tell you what the problem may be. For example if there is a code that reads left front speed sensor signal loss. then you would check that sensor and the connector to sensor, you would also look at abs tone ring. the tone ring is the ring that the sensor ride over.I am not sure if the ring is external, you will need to look and see, cleaning the ring is a good idea also. good day.
2000 jaguar xj8 intermitant fuel problem
You are dealing with a intermittent fuel pump problem can be the pump itself or bad connections. Here is the main concern for the fuel pump to turn on the ECM must recieve a RPM signal from the crank position sensor this signal must be recieved at the ECM greater than 250 RPM if it is not the fuel pump will not turn on. The use of a labscope works here or a generic scan tool with live data will show this. This problem necessarily gives engine codes.
Why won't the driver's seat on my 2006 XJ8L won't adjust in height?
You have a problem with the power seat transmission. The 1st thing to do is make sure that nothing under the seat is impeding the movement of the seat, if that is OK you will need to try and find a used power seat transmission, the parts are not sold separately, just the whole assembly.
Starting problem
Yes, the fuel is the problem.. Get fuel in a bottle and pour it into fuel tank...!!!
