In this day and age items are made by companies other than the car manufacturer and assembled on an assembly line
It would be strange and exceedingly costly to have custom modules made for each car so the statement from the dealer is suspect
I would be inclined to go somewhere else and have the fault codes read to find the exact fault (may be bad doesn't cut it) and then source a new module if it is faulty and have it reset in the car

SOURCE: Gearbox fault of Jaguar S Type

unfortunately when that code, and that gear box fault light comes on, its pretty much game over for the transmission. It only a matter of time before performance of the transmission gets worse and worse. BUT that transmission is VERY easy to replace, i would check out a few trustworthy independent shops to give you a better price! I am usually a die-hard dealership, having been working at this jaguar land rover dealership for the last 2 years, but you are pretty much for sure going to be a cheaper price on the labor and like i said it is a pretty easy task.

My only precaution MAKE SURE IF YOU GETTING A USED TRANSMISSION THAT YOU GET SOME TYPE OF WARRANTY ON IT. Too many times have I seen customers loose thousands of dollars paying someone to put a used engine or transmission and have it fail almost right away.

SOURCE: On the 2000 jaguar s-type, what is, Cats system

Cats was a optional extra from the factory. It is adaptive damping. It basicialy softens or stiffens the shock absorbers to your driving style.

It may seem that one of your shock absorbers has developed a internal pressure fault. A local garage with a code reader can tell you wich shock absorber to check. Would be worth checking the electrical connectors that plug into the top of the shock absorber to make sure they are not damaged.

Look's like you may need a new shock absorber

I need to replace my abs module on my 2002 x type jaguar, can you use modules from other x type jags.

If your ABS light is on in your 2002 Jaguar X-Type, it's likely because the ABS Control Module has failed and needs to be replaced. The good news is that you can use an ABS Control Module from another Jaguar X-Type as a replacement, as long as it's from the same year. Simply remove the old module and install the new one in its place. If your Jaguar is still under warranty, you may be able to have the dealer replace the module for free.

I have a 2000 jaguar s type and mechanic stated that I need an engine computer module. Any ideas of out the door costs including repairs

I would be very suspicious of the Powertrain control module failure, it is a less than 2% failure rate. Was this a dealer who diagnosed this? If not do not waste your money the tech was likely wrong and said that because they have no idea how to repair the real problem. I know this scenario well, seen it a 100 times.

How to take out instrument cluster from jaguar s type 2000

you cannot just change the instrurment cluster without having the jaguar diagnostic equipment to hand to reprogram the modules on the car, it is easy to remove. unclip the veneer then 4 screws, but the new pack has to be programmed to the car. it is part of the pats security system and the gateway module to the can and scp networks on this model, and a previously used pack may not work it thinks it has been stolen.all the modules on these cars are matched together at build could try to reprogramme as a new module.

I have an S-TYpe 2000 Jaguar 3.0 liter serial number 64909. VIN number - SAJDA01C6YFL64909 I would like to know how to find out if the vehicle has "adaptive control" shocks.

Very unlikely - the ''cats'' system was normally fitted to the top range type R or V8's I have never known a 3-0 with it fitted, To double check use your vin number on a spares site or jag dealer to ask what type of replacement shock is recommended. hope this helps

My 2000 s type jaguar air bag light stays on and also recently the battery light comes on but not always, i have replaced the alternator and had a dianostics check and they say there is no problem on the...

the most likely cause of the air bag prob is the steering wheel ribbon connector module behind the steering wheel it is going open circuit intermittantly the battery warning sounds like a differant issue. the car you have had big problems with corroded wiring at the front end ie.around the front bumper/engine bay area so perhaps the battery warning light may a cause of corroded wiring
