Jaguar XJ6

In the trunk behind carpet in the upper left hand corner-a small white switch.

30 mm

we had one had problem starting it .we found water got though the fuel cap .so had to drain tank then it started.you must change cap and clean drain hole

The 1997 Jaguar power steering fluid reservoir is located on the back of the engine near the firewall. The top on the reservoir should be labeled as power steering fluid only.

I may be wrong here, but I'm pretty sure the Intertia switch for a 95 - 97 is behind the beauty panel in the front passenger foot well, to the right. Remove one screw, pull little plastic cover off, inertia switch is forward of the computer.

check for spark and fuel. If it's spark loss I'm finding building evidence of the crank sensor being at fault. Try checking this first.

On most cars, the alarm is deactivated when the right key is put in the ignition

XJ40 door handles are made out of a very brittle metal that breaks easily. On the inside of the handle is a protruding arm into which is inserted a rod that is pushed down to release the latch when you pull up on the handle. The arm on your door handles is broken. You can buy rear handles on Ebay. Take care to get the proper year. 1988-1990 handles are smaller than 1991-1994 handles. The good news is that the rear handles are interchangable left to right, as they have the little arms at both sides of the handle. Kids and ham-handed buffoons do not mix well with XJ40 door handles.

yeah its made by castrol its not just plain old mineral oil its hydrolic mineral oil a special order and like $15 a pint

There is a cover on the very top of the engine. You will need a torx tip srewdriver of the proper size to access the three screws holding the panel covering the coils. Under the panel are the coils there are two bolts aprox. 9mm that need to be taken out to remove each coil.Unplug the power wires first). If there's eccesive oil in the holes then you need a new valve cover gasket (can cause problems if too eccesive). Hope this helped, Bud Sisto

Remove the rear light cell to expose the sending unit. All will be clear then.....AP

I've a 1995 xj6 ,but where is the opening for the glove compartment? do it have one

Code 16 Air temperature sensor fault

not to sure to be honest if it has a spark plug the spark when fitten to the engine could be shorting to earth before the spark reaches the cylinder( ignition of the fuel) could be worth a try changing them

I have a 1996 and so far my best info is to look at the crank sensor find the crankshaft in the front of the engine and look for wires around it you will find it. One bolt unfastens it. Don't yet know how to test it but I will update as I get more info. Bud Sisto

Traditionally the engine computer for a 1990 Jaguar xj6 is located in the car near the engine. The computer can also locate behind the dashboard near the engine.

In 1990-1994 XJ6 the VCM Code 44 is the code for the O2 sensor, either rich or lean exhaust has been detected and is causing the code to trigger. It could indicate a bad O2 sensor.

no compression on cyl 5 is real come. bad exhaued valve or one of two spring have broken. have two car i am working on right now. run grated cold at mead temper it start to miss only .both car had valve job before to.

adjusting valves need lotes shimes and tools and filer gagues and lotes of time . if you never done one its not some then left up to dealer one misstake cost you and engine .

It has two main bolts one has a ground cable which you can see from under the car, the other comes from the transmission side ,this one is harder to get at. it has three wires on top , two (power cables) go together one thinner power line to a screw. Its located on the driver side of the engine once you look under once you will get most of this.... someone.

On the aj6 engine fitted to xj40 the water pump is at the front of the engine near the radiator. Easily identified by the water hose connected to radiator, and on early non electric fan models the fan is attached to the front of the pump and needs to be removed to access.

I do not know the radio code for S type 2000 model. Please help

The fuel pump is in the lower panel of the trunk. Most are under the spare.

I hit the valet swtch in my 1995 xj6 when cleaning, The boot will open via the switch on the dash and or with my key, but when using the fob to open the car, all is fine but the boot has to be done via key as it dont via central looking.

Ok//////here goes......first remove plastic covering across top of radiator.....next remove left radiator bracket.....3 bolts.....remove hold down strap on ac canister....1 bolt...pull canister to left ....I tie it out of the way.....coolant control valve has five hose connections.....o ring disconnects on 3 leading to heater core/coolant tank..... one tee's into bottom of radiator hose....remove this radiator hose....by removing from top of radiator connection and connection to bottom of bleed cap....this has a support bracket ....which must be removed....now you should see recirculating pump on S type....remove two hold down bolts on recirc. pump...now for the hard part.....you will remove recirc. pump and heater valve at same time.....the hose connection from recirc. pump to heater valve will stay connected.....the heater valve has a bolt on left side at very bottom and a nut attachment on the right side....nut can just be loosened...bolt must be removed.....be sure to have a 10mm....standard socket, extended socket, open end, and box end.....1/4 drive....not much working room..and difficult to see attachment nut/bolt.....need a good flashlight/troublelight....remove electrical connection from recirc. pump and coolant valve.....after removing pump/attached valve..from car....disconnect pump from valve....remove solenoid heads....6 torx screws...now manually operate valves and back flush....were pump was attached...spray silcone spray into pump connection and hold upside down for a few seconds.....lubrication to prevent sticking....good time now to back flush radiator....heater core and coolant tank...all disconnections have been previously made to accomplish this....now put in reverse....and .....check all connections carefully....be patient....refill coolant system thru bleed cap....be sure to size Allen wrench carefully....to remove and tighten....fill coolant tank....crank car let warm slightly....remove bleed cap....top off and check coolant tank level....crank again...warm to operating temp...be sure to turn heat on to max.....while reaching operating temp...cut car off...turn key back on but do not start.....run heater max....until temp... is in blue or cool zone....this will take a few minutes....this will draw coolant from coolant tank...and aid in removing any air pockets...do not rush this....if temp. needle goes past normal operating temp....turn off asap and run another heater cycle cool down..do not drive car out on road until you are absolutely sure coolant temp. is normal for a few minutes..you should be able to add a full gallon of coolant plus .....this is a fully pressurized system....including coolant tank...never use a radiator stop leak....in this type of system..if your coolant tank is leaking....replace it....that's another story.....Good Luck and Happy Motoring.....Cecil
