20 Most Recent 2005 Jaguar S-Type - Page 3 Questions & Answers

What is the fault code you receive when you attach a code reader to the car? The onboard computers (the S-Type has about seven of them or so) will generate information that most of them will share with the OBD-II system (Onboard Diagnostic System, Second Generation).The number of parameters checked are many. Without the fault code, you can only guess. What are the symptoms, if any? Do the brakes feel like they are pulsating when you step on the pedal? - probably a bad wheel speed sensor (not usually bad, more likely a drive-thru car-wash blew the plug connector off the sensor, or water-soaked it and a bit of WD40 will fix it). Mushy brakes? - likely need brake fluid, or air somehow got in the brake lines. There are about 20 dozen other scenarios for an ABS problem, but the fault code itself will narrow down what you need to address.Go to http://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/s-type-s-type-r-supercharged-v8-15/ and search the forum for your particular ills.

Read how the last guy did it, probably with a step-by-step tuorial and photos. Blew a door speaker? Navigation Screen replacement? That funky flap over the passenger mirror not stay open? Dash Air Vents pop out?

They may even think you won the Lottery. Repair shops will "top-dollar" you, and you will take it in the shorts.

Go to the forum, maybe just a squirt of WD-40. My best advice is above. My best guess? Go wiggle each wire under your car that leads to the wheels. Fixya?

the heater control valve or dual control is controlled by the climate control module, what is the problem? the common issues are no cooling which is normally the dual control valve defaulted to open because of corroded/open circuit wiring to the valve,

It has a analog phone system that is obsolete but Motorola makes a nice upgrade to bluetooth

That means you have weak springs in your clutch it needs a new one

You need to have this checked it could be dangerous if it were to lock up while driving

Check this out with performance shops as there may be an intercooler that fits straight in. You may have to get brackets in a kit or make them yourself. The problem will the routing of the intercooling hoses to and from the turbo/manifold . Front mounted intercooler are more efficient at cooling the air so the only problem I can see apart from the engineering side of fitting it is that you may have to have a speed shop with a chassis dyno reprogram the CPU to get the best performance from the cooler more dense air.

Care to explain what it is in detail !!!

have the OBD codes read at a jag dealer this should give you the solution , probably a sensor(s)

Duplicate question.

That sounds more like transmission issue than a defective clutch, I suggest you have a shop diagnose this first. if IT IS THE CLUTCH ABOUT $1000.00 SHOULD COVER THE REPAIR.

Open your fuse box in the cab and check the little fuse map on the inside of the little door or in your manual, then you can find this fuse and replace it. A local garage may be nice and do this check for free. Good Luck!

Change them every 3 years Should be under ignition coils

the dsc system is linked to the abs you need to get fault codes out of the relevant module using a code reader to sort this out, is the abs light on as well? that's a clue, if so the reluctor rings on the drive shafts are suspect or the front wheel speed sensors or link leads.

pull up the front of cushion on either side in turn, put your fingers under the front edge about 10 inches from outer edge you will feel a little plastic lever, you slide to one side, repeat for other side you can then remove seat cushion.

YES

can you hear a click from the gear lever when you press the brake with the ignition on if not the release solenoid is not working could be the brake pedal switch

You likely tripped the Fuel Shut-Off Inertia Switch. The inertia switch is located behind the trim on the right-hand side of the vehicle, forward of the front door post, below the fascia. Pull open the small panel in the trim to reset the switch. Resetting the switch CAUTION !!!: To avoid the possibility of fire or personal injury, do not reset the inertia switch if you see or smell fuel. If no fuel leak is apparent, reset the inertia switch as follows: Press the button! If the switch was activated by the accident, you should feel it "click" when you reset it by pushing it. Happy Motoring!
