Top 20 2003 Jaguar X-Type Questions & Answers

There is too much missing from this question. If everywhere is locked, you need the CAA, AA, or RAC, or an auto-locksmith. If you have the car open, you can normally release the emergency catch by getting in from behind the back seat. https://www.google.com/search?q=03+jaguar+xtype+get+in+locked+trunk ..

check connections and make sure correctly installed

You don't. You replace the AC condenser with a Bypass Pulley. It uses the same belt and routing and fits in its place. https://www.google.com/search?q=03+jaguar+x+type+3.0+ac+bypass+pulley ..

How you checked and make sure you do not have an anti-theft system built-in?

It will be a sensor. Use an OBDII tool to read the error.

First question: Is it possible you put gasoline in the tank by mistake instead of diesel (or that gasoline was added to the wrong tank at the gas station)? If not, then suggestions: --Maybe an electrical sensor or connection got wet. Open the hood and let everything dry out for a few hours, then try again. If that fixed the problem, check all electrical connections for areas where water could penetrate, and repair/replace as needed. --Borrow a code reader from an auto parts store (free) and check to see if there are any trouble codes (fairly easy procedure). Then look 'em up online. --If your problem isn't the wrong fuel or wet connections, I think the likeliest cause is a bad crankshaft or camshaft sensor. When one of those fails, the computer often has a "limp" mode that will let the engine run, but at low RPM.

Hi Is the car Petrol or Diesel fuel ? If its petrol I would think the petrol has gone off after 3 years ,it turns a dark yellow in colour I had the same problem Hope this helps Nick

If it will not unlock with the key, replace the latch/lock.

check plugs, wires and mag pack its what your plug wires go to from spark plugs. Im thinking bad plugs or one wire is bad

Sounds to me like this which is not grounded or they have text the wrong wires can burnt the switch up somebody needs to pull out the door panel and use a wire tester to see if there's any current if that don't help I would ask the dealership mechanic

sounds like to me its a abs sensor or reluctor ring problem the 2 main culprits are the front abs sensor link leads one maybe open circuit or the rear driveshaft reluctor is corroded and broken you need to get the fault codes out to help decide which i would check the reluctor rings first if you look carefully at the rings with a torch and probe with a small screwdriver between the rear driveshaft joint and the hub carrier you may find the reluctor ring is adrift

areas to check are the fuel pressures, fuel hoses, fuel crossover solenoid It indicates that the ECM is receiving the correct information from the sensors to adjust for LPG but when crossed over to petrol signals from sensors are not as clear as they should be This can be from a power drain to components caused by a faulty solenoid or relay that is reducing the voltage available to the sensors ( normally in the air intake system or the heated oxygen sensor in the exhaust manifold ) check all harness connections and wiring if you are checking it all your self then a workshop manual that has all of the voltages for each sensor would provide help

the fault codes you have are all misfire codes p1313 and p1314 are manufactuer codes only. but they all point to same issue check the engine wiring harness under the air box for chaffing also the on plug coils are very unreliable the spark plug internal resistance is critical use only genuine plugs we had to change all 6 because pattern plugs had been fitted and check for water ingress in to the ecm/connector that may be the problem

If you do not have a clue what could be the problem it may be cheaper to have a mechanic check it out. I have seen simple repairs turn into big ones when some one that does not know gets in to do the work.

Hi You will be fine driving the car with the engine light on as this is a safety feature the car may be under powered ie may feel as if the turbo's not working (If it has one) but this is perfectly normal the engine light comes on which will then put the car in to "Limp Mode" which then allows you to get the car home or to the nearest garage Hope this helps Nick

Hello Definitely the battery has a big role in Jaguar cars, as Jaguar cars are very sensitive when it comes to battery. You never go less than specified , going a little higher is ok but not lower

Jags are HARD to work on, and even HARDER to buy parts for ... so ... have you ever heard of K-Seal? If it WORKS, it could save you $1,000's! If it doesn't work, you're out less than $20!

You need a dealer, the wiper motor is controlled by the BCM and can be run through an active test to see what is wrong. To do this test you need a special scan tool.

You intank Fuel pump is another probable cause. Happened to me twice

Their is a reset button on Jags you can't jump them or recharge the battery if they sit long .A lot of people have them and don't drive them in the winter . I'm no export on Jaguars but I know their is a reset .The cruise control issue is the same in most vehicles it works with the brake switch ABS transmission vehicle speed sensors and the transmitter for the key less entree system . I would say a battery issue .
