2003 Jaguar X-Type Questions & Answers
I have a p1646 code
I would have the code checked again if it is still 1646 then you need to check the connector and wiring for this sensor.
Just to confirm that the sensor you changed is the rear (near the engine bay bulkhead) upstream (upper sensor of the two) , in most cases a grey connector.
How do you remove plastic inner wheel arch liner
Should see about 4 plastic push pins holding
inner fender shield
I assume you going after the fuel filter or pcm
connnectors etc
There are tools for that,but you can use pliers or
a screw driver to pull pin out part way,then the round
fastener
I have a jaguar 2003 x type with 2 dash lights : (1) low brake fluid level but fluid level is to the top (2) emergency light BRAKE is on all the time.
I have worked on a 2003 x-type with the same problem. Unplug your fluid level float and e brake switch. Remove instrument cluster. On the right side connector,(White) cut the zip tie on the connector, slide the white clip off on the left side of the connector. It should slide out of the connector. You want to cut 2 black wires from pin 12 and 15. Pin 12 (Master cylinder float) will be the second from the right in the top row. Pin 15 (E brake switch) will be the one all the way on the left on the bottom row. Make sure you cut about 3 inches from the connector. Plug the instrument cluster back in and check if the light went out. If it goes out, you have a short in the harness. You will have to run a new wire to the float or e brake switch. If it stays on, strip all 4 wires and connect them all together and solder them. Check to see if the light went out. If it is out, you just saved yourself from replacing the instrument cluster. This happens when one of the outputs does not have the needed 10 volts comming out of it. By combining them it gives the 10 volts or more to the dead side of the input. If you still have a brake light after combining them, then get a fuse holder and a fuse tap and put a .5 amp fuse in it and combine it to the four that are combined. Make sure you fuse tap a fuse that goes on and off with the ignition switch. If this fails, then you have a bad instrument cluster. About $150 online.
X-type jaguar automatic (gear box fault)
I have a 2002 X type (2 litre. done 44000 miles), dash showed gear box problem, (red circle light up). I pulled out and turned the engine off. 5 minutes later turned the engine on. The engine running but the car would not drive either in drive or reverse. Turned the engine off again and on the car driving but not much power. The care is taken to the Jag. dealer and told is misfiring + some gear box faults. Suggesting to change some coils and see (cost about £200+). also possible need to change the gear box costing about £2500+. Please advice. Shall I go ahead with the repair? Should I part exchange.
Can not remove lug nut caps 2003 x -type jaguar
I have an 04 xj8. the lug nuts are a good bad example of half baked engineering. the lug nuts are fabricated from ugly steel with an 11/16 hex end. to beautify this, Jaguar overlays the nut end with a stainless steel 3/4 inch cap, crimped to the nut. On top of this, the nut is to be torqued to 90+ ft-lb! The only way to remove the lug nut without damage is with a SIX POINT socket and a breaker bar or an impact wrench. Using a 12 point socket will deform the cap, causing the wrench to spin on the cap and or the cap to spin on the nut itself. If that has happened, it is possible to recover using a 15 oz or thereabouts ball peen hammer and a deep 3/4 inch impact socket (the black ones). Line up the socket to the cap, doing a best guess to where the flats are and give the socket a light blow. Keep trying that until the socket seems to stick on, then hit it harder. Eventually you will find the right point and the socket will go on and reform the cap. Then a breaker bar can remove the cap/nut. New assemblies can be had for about $6 from "partsbin" or "autohausaz".
Why wont the car start?
Hi
Is the car Petrol or Diesel fuel ? If its petrol I would think the petrol has gone off after 3 years ,it turns a dark yellow in colour I had the same problem
Hope this helps Nick
X-type 2003 went to limp mode without any warning lights
First question: Is it possible you put gasoline in the tank by mistake instead of diesel (or that gasoline was added to the wrong tank at the gas station)?
If not, then suggestions:
--Maybe an electrical sensor or connection got wet. Open the hood and let everything dry out for a few hours, then try again. If that fixed the problem, check all electrical connections for areas where water could penetrate, and repair/replace as needed.
--Borrow a code reader from an auto parts store (free) and check to see if there are any trouble codes (fairly easy procedure). Then look 'em up online.
--If your problem isn't the wrong fuel or wet connections, I think the likeliest cause is a bad crankshaft or camshaft sensor. When one of those fails, the computer often has a "limp" mode that will let the engine run, but at low RPM.
ABS Light Lit, Engine Light Lit - Cruise Control Not operating
sounds like to me its a abs sensor or reluctor ring problem the 2 main culprits are the front abs sensor link leads one maybe open circuit or the rear driveshaft reluctor is corroded and broken you need to get the fault codes out to help decide which i would check the reluctor rings first if you look carefully at the rings with a torch and probe with a small screwdriver between the rear driveshaft joint and the hub carrier you may find the reluctor ring is adrift
Jaguar2005 x-type electrical seat and mirror problem
Sounds to me like this which is not grounded or they have text the wrong wires can burnt the switch up somebody needs to pull out the door panel and use a wire tester to see if there's any current if that don't help I would ask the dealership mechanic
X type converted to LPG. It runs OK on LPG but not petrol
areas to check are the fuel pressures, fuel hoses, fuel crossover solenoid
It indicates that the ECM is receiving the correct information from the sensors to adjust for LPG but when crossed over to petrol signals from sensors are not as clear as they should be
This can be from a power drain to components caused by a faulty solenoid or relay that is reducing the voltage available to the sensors ( normally in the air intake system or the heated oxygen sensor in the exhaust manifold )
check all harness connections and wiring
if you are checking it all your self then a workshop manual that has all of the voltages for each sensor would provide help
