Top 20 2006 Jaguar XJ8 - Page 2 Questions & Answers

sounds like the tcm is trying to fail..but lets 1st start with a simple reset...disconnect the neg term and let her sit for 30-45 minutes...also have the ****** flushed asap,and then take it to jaguar and have the latest software upoloaded ...ZF has a new software for this jerking issue...

it was a Loose Battery Cable on My Xj8L the on that goes behind the spare tire

the only thing will cause the fault light to come on is the pressure in the retention tank located in the trunk underneath the spare tire...,once the pressure drops,then the suspension pump relay makes the pump refil the tank...the cause of this is usually a leaking shock...normally they will leak around the upper caping...one sign is that the car will be lower overnite then normal or if it sits for a long period.if the front is lower then its a front shock..the bumpy ride is the fault system lowering the car from the leak while your riding..

The blades will slide either direction once you remove the locking pin, and make sure you disconnect the washer jet line from the assembly first,then raise the washer arms,remove the lock pin or fasciners.This will allow you to pull the blade free ..keep me posted

I switched to a full synthetic oil, and never looked back. You can get 10000 miles out of full synthetic easily. Some people say you never have to change it, but i go 10000 and have for 90,000 miles and still runs smooth as the day i bought it. Castrol Syntec is a very good synthetic oil.

What happens if you press the valet feature again? Will it deactivate the feature and restore access?

check the leads that feed the connectors,normally they will corrode and will have to either be replaced or cleaned...it is very comon...

Its usually pretty easy. Which one are you trying to replace? Did you buy the correct bulb? If your replacing the front turn signals, pop your hood. Look behind the turn signal it should be fairly easy to spot. It can be covered up sometimes or exposed. just grab it turn it and pull it out. careful not to put too much stress on anything else around that area. if your replacing the rear lights. then pop your trunk, and look exactly where the lights are. There could be a cover or matt blocking it so just pull if off carefully and it all should be exposed.
