Re: 2000 Jaguar s-type 4.0 is overheating????? [it_is_ford]
I have a '02 S Type 4.0 sport. I had a similar problem years ago. The plastic water bottle (whatever they call it - the reserve tank) get small hair line fractures and once the car gets up to temp the cracks screw up the pressure. Then it overheats and no body can help. Should not be that hard. Change this plastic container that reset on the drivers side under the ... Read More

I have a 2004 Jaguar S-Type with 60,000 miles. After the car was at the dealer ALL WEEK for tests, I was told I needed a new transmission. They performed every test, electrical, sensors, etc etc and could not determine the problem for four days !!!! I had a light come on saying "Gear Box Fault" twice while backing out of my garage. I went to the dealer and was told ... Read More

Ten year old S-Type good investment
After thirty years of driving Ford pickup trucks I sold my truck to buy a 2000 S-Type Jag. From the moment I first put the 3.0 in gear and started to drive...waves of my youth driving a '71 XKE came flooding over me. It seemed the Ford side of the S-Type was a merger of the best of two worlds. The 3.0 in the S Jag was certainly not the 3.0 ... Read More

Re: 2000 s-type jaguar [dryden57]
I believe you may be talking about the heater valve which opens and allows water to flow into the heater core, its probably vac operated. You will have to ask a mechanic. Should be cheap and easy. They gum up on all cars after awhile. I'm saying this because your air still works, its just your heat. The valve is only partially open.

Re: 2000 s-type jaguar [nwjag]
nwjag, The Climate Control Module has a tendency to burn out, but it is not due to the act of replacing the heater valve. The burn out is most likely caused by too much current / power draw from the old/defective heater valve (which is wired directly to the Climate Control Module). By the time the new/replacement heater valve is installed, the Climate Control Module has already burned up. I'm an ... Read More

The mechanic ran a diagnostic and ... Read More

Re: 2000 s-type jaguar [jag2000]
that would depend on whether one pipe is on one side of the valve and the other pipe on the other side. I don't know the system well enough to speculate but of course if you have a hot pipe on intake and one on outflow (from the heater core) then yeah the valve would have to be working and it would seem that the blending doors or actuators are the ...

Re: 2000 s-type jaguar [Mr_Shiftright]
lol.. I thought the same thing. They stated the climate control module was burnt out due to the replacement of the heater valve. Therefore, while replacing the heater valve it has the tendence of shooting out the climate control module. As per the Assistant Service Manager.

Re: 2000 s-type jaguar [Mr_Shiftright]
Mr. Shiftright, Thanks for all your help. I check the pump, its in working order.. I went back to Jag this morning, they stated once the heater valve was replaced, the car burns the climate control panel. So I'm looking at $1800+ for repairs.

Re: 2000 s-type jaguar [nwjag]

Re: 2000 s-type jaguar [Mr_Shiftright]
Thanks Mr. Shiftright. I took the auxiliary water pump off then it worked. Once the car got hot, it started blowing hot air.. You think it might be the auxiliary water pump?
-
Re: 2000 s-type jaguar [nwjag]
I don't have the complete diagram for this HVAC system but this situation sounds like a possible defect in an actuator that opens and closes a blending door under the dash. Some systems are electric actuators, some vacuum. The vacuum ones tend to have these mysterious tendencies, since a small leak can slowly open or close an actuator or the door it controls.

Re: 2000 s-type jaguar [Mr_Shiftright]
I have a 2004 and I'm having the same problems. The heater valve has been charged but still not getting cold air on both sides. Every time I take everything part and put back, it works for a bit then hot air returns on the passenger side. Please Help!! could it be the auxiliary water pump?

Re: 2000 s-type jaguar [mrrevol]
It's below the receiver/dryer for the AC. It has 5 ports so it should be easy to spot. The part is $285 retail and the labor rate is 2 hours for a mechanic. Coolant extra of course, as would be clamps, hoses, whatever.

Re: cold air [Mr_Shiftright]
I own a 2000 Jaguar S-type, and I think mine is doing the same thing. Sometimes I get a little warm (I mean a little) air if I put the heat on high and leave the level low, but it I raise the level the air gets cold. This just started as the weather got colder.

More Jaguar Problems
First time on this forum but after reading the blogs I felt obliged to submit. Over the last couple of years we've had our share of late model Jags in our shop... First an S-type that needed the plugs replaced (under the intake manifold...great place to put 'em)... our mech replaced them but swapped the "UNMARKED" vacuum and intake manifold water lines and yep... you guessed it... hydrolock...!!! Blew the back ... Read More

Re: Dead S-type [deadstype]
Deadstype: I find your situation a bit difficult to fully comprehend. Several points: I can certainly believe that a blown engine at 29,000 miles is frustrating. In any car. And yet, the 2001 Jag warrantee was for 4 years (as I recall, or 50,000 miles, whichever comes first). Not 5 years. Or 6. Or 7. I believe that there are extended warrantees available, if the added insurance / peace of mind ... Read More

Re: Stuck on Park [jastelt]
I would strongly disagree with you on the reliability issue. However, you can make numbers say anything if you massage them right. I am an owner of 2000 S-Type 4.0 which I have driven for 5.5 years. I have had every problem in the book. I have only met 1 and I repeat one person in my travels that was pleased with their vehicle. I purposely engage in conversation with every ... Read More

I love the look of the car and interioir as well.. but ... Read More

Re: New or P/O Jaguar purchase [pluvious]
I have been an owner of a 2000 4.0 for five years. Have driven 103,000 miles, and have had many, many problems which has included 2 transmissions, 1 engine, new heat/air, phone unit, and a host of other problems. Now, I am facing replacing the transmission again at $6,500. It is well documented that Jags whether 3.0, 4.0, 4.2 or ZF transmission, all have problems. Jag is in denial, and offers ... Read More

S-Type R test drive
Well – I went to my local Jaguar dealer on Saturday. I asked to drive an S-Type 4.2 Sport. No such animal on their lot. So – the General Sales Manager offered his S-Type R for a drive. (Oh, please don’t throw me in THAT briar patch!) OK. I drove it. For about 20 minutes. On winding back country roads, briefly on the Interstate and through the local Mall area. I ... Read More

S-Type is still #1
Through six model year's the Jaguar S-Type is still the most elegant midsize luxury sport sedan out there, bar none! OH! The New Audi A6 is a looker and the Mercedes E-Class is by no mean's a slouch. We now have our 2000 S-Type 4-year's and 4-month's. One major problem and many minor issue's, but our Jaguar dealer has always been excellent about fixing everyone of them. We still love this ...

JAG OR NOT TO JAG - S-TYPE
As an owner of a 2000 fully loaded 4.0 S-Type for the last 4 years and two months, have conversed with many S-Type owners in the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area, I can truly say, the car is gorgeous, but reliability sucks to the highest. Customer service from Jaguar when you have problems sucks! Jag Corporate is famous for their song and dance routines, i.e., "I understand your problem sir, but there ... Read More

For Allen Long
Don't even think about an X Jaguar. A woman would always want the very best cloth coat instead of the very worst fur coat and the X Jag is the worst fur coat and looks it. Cheap and cheezy. The X accomplishes only one thing: It gives the owner a Jaguar name on a registration. Reminds me of the old Mercedes 190. Junk box with prestigious name. Phooey!! Look for a ... Read More

Problems With S-Type R -- Unable to Remove Key
I have had significant problems with my s-type r and was wondering whether anyone else has had them. When I got the car, the next day it went into "limp home" mode due to faulty wiring and was out for two days. Intermittently, I have had problems with the key sticking, culminating on 9/26 with the key not coming out. It was in the shop until 10/28 as a result of ... Read More

Engine Misfire in 2000 S-Type 4.0
My 2000 S-Type Jaguar has a misfire in the engine. It has 35K miles. I just bought this vehicle for $24K. It usually runs a bit rough when idle and on occasion you can fill the roughness or misfire during acceleration and lower cruising speeds under 50 MPH. There is a slight hesitation upon acceleration as well. Has anyone else experienced this in their S-Type?Does anyone have any idea what this ... Read More
