Top 20 2001 Jaguar XJ8 - Page 3 Questions & Answers

First read your owners manual, it should instruct you there.

I have a 91 XJ6 and have some experience with these Jaguars. First, do you have power to the radio? Does anything light up on the radio? If you have power you will need to go to a local dealership with the car and proof of ownership and the should be able to get the code for the radio. If you do not have power then check the fuse and wiring for a bad connection or bad fuse. Good luck, Ken.

I would say you would need to contact the dealer with the serial number of the car.

Hi More info is needed to diagnose your problem.

got to be at the front of the engine driven by a belt ,i know where it is on my jag and if i looked under the bonnet i would soon see it thats for sure but its late now and its been a couple of years since i worked on this model

which fuse box are you refereing to...You have 1 under the hood,then a passenger side kick panel box,and a rear fuse box in the trunk near the spare tire.

yes u can , make sure the car is cold, you will have to remove the coolant expansion tank...at the bottom it has connection hose with a clip pin,Remove the clip pin,and to the side beneath their is a sensor,disconnect the sensor..then up top disconnect the upper coolant connection line,you will have two screws on some maybe three securing the tank,remove them,the tank will come out,replace with new tank reconnect the bttom hose and retaining clip,and then sensor,then the upper coolant line.Then fill with cooalnt crank the car ,turn the ac on on high,remove the bleed screw while car is running as you fill it up with coolant, continue filliung until the reservoir is up to the full mark and all bubbles have stopped coming out of the bleed whole...then put the bleed screw back,and the coolant cap...

ABS = Anti-lock Brake System.
TC = Traction Control System (Engine Control Module).
If the ABS lights on the dashboard permanently the ABS system is faulty. You must access the ABS & TC Electronic Control Units (ECU) memory for pull out all DTC (Diagnostic Trouble Codes), using diagnostic equipment connected to the data link connector of the car. Then you will be full informed about bad pieces (e.g.: front right wheel abs sensor interrupted, ...). After bad pieces replacement you will be able to erase all faults memored by ABS ECU, in other words reset the ABS system and turn off the warning lamp on dashboard.
I suspect bad brake pedal switch, but you should scan the ABS & TC ECU's.

The red light is for warning the amber is for caution so your caution light is on thats the amber the amber is reserved for local market like brake pads,oil change,or abs that affects steering stability, The information is exclusive only your driver handbook will define it

Take you Jag in for its 6 Mon/1 yer maintenance schedule check up for the can rest the light. This engine light will come on when the vehicle has reached certain mileage and/or time interval.


Unless, if the vehicle is have some other problems, like fuel pump, it not running the correctly, ERG valve is out, O2 sensor is bad, etc. But if your Jaguar XJ8 is doing just dandy. Then it need to be other type of service; such as, coolant changed, differnial fluid needs to be changed, or the automatic transmission also needs to be changed. GB...stewbison

the brakes are pretty much just like any car,remove the fluid reservoir cap,then the tires,then disconnect the neg term on the battery,remove the calibers,then compress with a c clamp,then install,..the bearing are removed by releasing the hub assembly by removing the axle bolts and pin, i will send pictures Monday if need be...once the bearings are replaced make sure the hub isnt overtightened...and put the reservoir cap back on the brake unit...

you need to check your dsc fuse,make sure it will engage on and off from the button....if it wont then check the fuse.If the fuse is fine then the module will have to be replaced.

I have the same problem few days ago, and still didn't find any solution. Can any one please help?????

42 miles with a jaguar. First I love Jaguars. Youll get to your home by a tow truck. The car is talking to you say its sick.Here is what will happen, The TRAC, ASC, light is on okay the APP will now go to limp home mode what this mean it will default giving limited operations, youll probable just go 30mph, and that is just it. The transmission does not know what gear or how fast its going so it communicates to the powertrain it tell it I dont know what Im doing so it activates the traction control and say keep me safe the traction control say okay Ill get disable, then the transmission control tell the powertrain I could be burning up or slipping. So The APP(acclerator pedal position ) gets involved and say we will just limp on home.Remeber i love juguars so does tow trucks

I would check the motor mounts, they could be worn or broken.

Naturally it is in the transmission, and probably in the torque converter.

I don't have a solution, but I have the same problem. My 2000 jaguar set for about 2 weeks and when I tried to start it, the engine turns over but won't fire or start.

Welcome to Fixya

First thing to check if there is enough fluid in the transmission. If yes then the most likely cause is the transmission or transfer case is gone internally.Sounds like a you need a tranny rebuild.

Thank you for using Fixya!
