I have removed all the water pipes from the thermostat housing and a long bolt but the ousing seems difficult to coe loose for my Jaguar 2.2 Diesel?
It's not unusual for a thermostat housing to get stuck in place. Try tapping it sideways with a hammer (gently) from different positions to loosen the bond, or stick a screwdriver in a bolt hole and see if you can lever it off (again, gently). Plan B would be to get a sharp utility knife and try to work it into the gap between the housing and the engine.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Be sure to remove ALL old gasket, sealant, etc., from the mating surfaces before installing the new gasket. Otherwise, it will leak. Don't use a sharp object like a screwdriver, because any gouges will cause leaks -- try a putty knife, plastic scraper, stiff brush, specialized gasket scraping tool or nasty chemical (gasket remover, mineral spirits, lacquer thinner, etc.)
Just recently got a jaguar xj6 wouldn't start replaced coil and now it starts but when I put it in drive it diesels and dies, sounds like its sucking air and I do t have book to look up vacuum lines some aren't hooked up
Leaking or missing vacuum lines can definitely make an engine die or run poorly. In my experience, once you've unhooked an old, hard rubber line, it probably won't seal properly when you hook it up again. So I suggest changing all the lines that you can reach.
Also, there's usually a big vacuum line to the power brake booster, which can leak a LOT of air if it gets hard and doesn't seal properly. The cruise control motor, which is vacuum operated, is another place to check. Also, check the vacuum line(s) to the PCV valve and the rubber seal that it sits in -- again, a likely source of leaks.
Any idea why the previous owner disconnected some of the lines? If he was trying to solve a problem, it may still be there when you replace the lines, and had nothing to do with them.
I need to know the location of cooling system thermostat for Jaguar X-Type 22D
Where the top radiator hose goes to the engine, under that flange that is bolted to the intake that the top hose is hooked to is where you'll find said thermostat. Drain the coolant before removing those bolts to replace it. Clean everything well and put a new gasket on, put the goose neck casting back in place and tighten the bolts. Replace the coolant and done.
Pls need gap for spark plugs for 2004 Jaguar xj8
