Hello, since yesterday I have been the owner of the said vehicle with 4 liters R6 BJ 1992. Unfortunately I have no manual. The following questions: – are the headrests adjustable? I have found electric seats but not a switch for the head, also the adjusting wheel on the seat side is only for the back. The passenger support looks out a little more than with the driver. Have it tried with a lot of power, or do I need more? – It is the standard radio installed. The red standby LED flashes, u And when the light is switched on, the buttons around the controller also light up, so power is there. However, it cannot be switched on. Is this connected to the rotary knob? Radio broken? – Where are the fuses? I found a “Fuse Circuit” already in the center console. – Which oil do you drive at 4.0?

Hello dear XK municipality, I have just read a report from t-online saying that Jaguar will only produce the XK series until summer 2014. The reason is called the production site to want to use for other models. Too bad now Jaguar is also becoming a mass product like Porsche now. Now I will definitely not give it to XK in 2012. The increase in value is then already predictable. Such individual cars become more and more scarce. Maybe even a Jaguar employee can add something. Thanks cabrio123

Hello Katzenfreunde, maybe someone has a tip to solve my problem: if my XJR is warm, the engine shakes in idle mode and dies in thrust mode. According to Jaguar diagnostic device, the Lambda probes were defective, replaced and successfully regulated on the diagnostic device. Nevertheless, still no uniform blank run. Subsequently removal and cleaning of the throttle valve housing as well as the idle actuator motor did not solve the problem. resetting egate on the PC or can it be that the idle actuator is defective?

Hello Jaguar friends, I have a question for you, since I have a more or less big problem here with my Jaguar. I am sitting here in Sultanate Oman and I bought a used Jaguar Sovereign ́96 last year. Now I was on Germany holiday a few weeks and the battery is empty. So far so good and not so bad. Actually! The nice Japan import does not allow me to put the key in the intended opening to dre At the front, everything is no problem. The hood can be opened accordingly. Unfortunately, I can’t connect a bridge cable there to give juice again to everything, then open the trunk “normal” via the button in the back. Is there any way to open the trunk somewhere else, or maybe to get to the battery cable in the interior so that I can get juice back on the cart? Thank you for your answers.

Beautiful good evening, ride recently a Jaguar XE S bj. 17. I was in the office today and fell almost laughing from the chair, the nice gentleman, told me Great service (only oil, pollen filter, interior filter and brake fluid change) cost say and write 1830€ gross. It is the 6 years resp. 150,000km service I have had a Bmw before and before a Mercedes and by far not so much paid. Did I miss anything?

Hello my friends, now it’s time.. Mynewcar has a motor damage! Yes my greatest fear has come true (I hope you remember me, I’m the one with the roaring at speeding). On Saturday I was on the highway. Unlimited. I was at 145 km/h in the middle when there was a loud bang. Shortly afterwards smoke from the exhaust, engine out with the red oil pressure lamp. On standing strips came to stand and bonnet opened. Everything full of oil.., engine started. E r doesn’t turn. Got the adac and was towed. After 30 minutes in the workshop the result: engine damage. Engine is fixed. Engine has a hole = conrod bearing damage. The bearing damage was also the reason why he raced while starting and also the reason for the roaring when accelerating. KVA of Jaguar = 19,90€ incl. VAT. I destroyed on the ground. My beautiful Jaguar…

Hello together, since I, like some of you, am driving around a time bomb of engine in your beautiful vehicle, I did a bit of research. I came across the fact that the V6 diesel from Ford was actually intended for development for a different oil type than today. Lt. Jaguar is to use the engine oil 5-W30 ACEA C1. However, this has a clearly lowered viscosity. In my old Puma Diesel 2.0l (Ford Mondeo MK3) I am Castrol Magnatec 5-W30 A5 able This oil has an HTHS viscosity of 2.9-3.5 mPas. The C1 but only HTHS ~2.9 mPas. The C3 would have HTHS ~3.5 mPas. -> which would be significantly higher… I wonder if Castrol 5-W40 ACEA C3 or 5-W30 ACEA C3 for the Jaguar is the better oil in the long term than the recommended 5-W30 ACEA C1. What do you think? Maybe there is a specialist among you who knows well about engine oil? n / experiences I would be happy.

Hello together, I have a big problem with my car and unfortunately nobody can help me from my circle of friends, so I try my luck here. The following facts: I fulfilled my big dream in 2018 and financed a Jaguar XE. I bought the car from a car dealership near me. A few weeks ago came an error message “Motorpower limited” and I could only drive 60km/h, because I was just on my way to the doctor – only 7km. The car was there about 30-45 minutes and the message did not come on the way home, but it smelled like exhaust gases. So I had the car towed and brought it to the Jaguar workshop. – Exhaust gas manifold torn – control chain speeded – brakes etc. Estimate of several thousand euros. I told them to repair only the most necessary thing for the car to drive again. I would have the I think about 4.000€ (7.000€ – with new brakes). 7 days ago a call from the workshop. After or during the test drive smoke came out of the bonnet…Conclusion: Turbocharger defective Today the next call: Cylinder head seal also defective. Repair costs are about 12.00€. How is a person supposed to pay so much money for a repair? I am completely desperate and have NO ARRANGEMENT what I should do. Maybe Jema had And a similar case? Am grateful for any help. ?? Best regards, Eve

Hello dear Jaguar community, it’s so far, I need a new car. Actually I cared with the Mercedes E Coupé (please don’t whistle now) and then stumbled over the XF – and fascinated. A beautiful car at an affordable price. For me unfortunately only in the 2.2 l diesel variant. Now I wonder if with this engine at all driving fun can come up. I like to drive a little more sporty. Is then a Jaguar something for me or is it rather on comfortable dahinrolle n designed? My financial limit is about 54 T€. Which options are useful for a sporty driving pleasure? Or would it be better to grab the 3 liter V6 and save on a few options? What I need in any case is a navigator and a Blutooth hands-free device. Furthermore, I am a friend of the good sound. Is the standard system already enough? Unfortunately, it is as bewitched. I had shot into the Mercedes E Coupé as I said before and then met ic h on this beautiful car. I would hate to bury the dream again. Therefore I would be very happy about some tips from you. Greetings from Cologne Michael
