2006 S-Type Climate Control Fan Speed
Hi to all... My wife's '06 S-Type 4.2L VDP (60k miles & still under extended warranty) has a chronic summer cooling problem: On hot Atlanta days with the Climate Control set on 'Auto' and 70F, the air blows cold fairly soon, but the blower fan doesn't speed up past level 2 to distribute enough cold air. She has to lower the temperature down to 'LO' and manually crank up the fan ... Read More

Power Seat Motors
Our 2001 S Jaguar seat pops the current limiter when you try to move it fore or aft. Tilt and up/down work until that current limiter pops and will work again in 5 minutes. The dealer wants $1700 for new tracks and the motor. I just bought a used seat on E-Bay and will switch the parts. Why don't they sell the motor itself? Are there any tricks I need to ... Read More

Re: 2001 Jaguar s-type 4.0 - transmission quit on an incline [mbalasu]
Bear mbalasu, This doesn't sound good. First of all, if your transmission slipped while driving up hill, then worn clutches are the most likely culprit. However, slipping clutches will throw ratio codes in your trans. control module. Sounds like your technician doesn't have a scanner that will read anything but engine codes. Occasionally you can find a car that will flair between shifts due to low fluid or a bad shift ... Read More

2001 Jaguar s-type 4.0 - transmission quit on an incline
My Jag has 115K miles. Why would a transmission quit uphill? I had only one instance in the past when I thought it slipped. Other than that I think this failure was sudden. I turned the car around using gravity, and rolling downhill I was able to engage trans in 2nd gear. I took the car to the mechanic (authorized he says to work on Jags), and I had the trans ...

Re: lower ball joints 2001 Jaguar S type [dehya]
How did you determine that the ball joints need replacing? You are allowed .8mm play in them. You raise the vehicle and put a jackstand under the lower suspension arm. Then wiggle the wheel at 12 and 6 o'clock and have someone note the play in the ball joint. Also be aware that there was a recall on this car for loose ball joints because the joint nuts were not tightened ... Read More

lower ball joints 2001 Jaguar S type
Hello, i have a 2001 Jaguar S type that needs the front 2 left and right side lower ball joints replaced. I am thinking of ordering the parts from MacAuto parts (part number XR8041215J). They only sell the ball joints and not the vertical link. The dealerships only sell the ball joints with the vertical link, however I was able to find the ball joints without the vertical link. I was ... Read More

Re: 2000 s-type jaguar [jbanting]
I have a 2001 S 3.0. Air conditioning works fine but no heat. Firestone ran the diagnostics and said I needed a new Climate control module at $1800. I bought a used one on line for $100 and replaced it myself. Fairly easy and took me about an hour. No change. I am going to try changing the water heater valve next. I cannot believe two Climate control modules would be ... Read More

Re: Jaguar S type [kenberg]
Ken, I purchased a used 2001 in 2005 with 49k miles. Still have it, tranny going out, with close to 110k. The Ford tranny, which mine has, goes about 100, based on what the dealers said. Other than the hvac going out, which I now question, based on the mechanic involved, no real maintenance issues. The car is great to drive and good for the ego, if you like comments about ...

Re: '93 XJS Brakes squeal [xjsguy]
This is probably too little too late but I experienced the same thing with my 2001 S-Type. Had pads replaced and rotors turned but within 2 days the squeal was back. Took it back to my mechanic, he made a call to Jaguar and the reason was the "high speed rotors" were most likely warped. Turns out rotors were supposed to be replaced, not turned(whatever that means) anyway, replaced with "normal" ... Read More

Re: 2001 S-type 4.0 Jaguar [angiej]
Question number 1, The fuel filter is in the gas tank. 2) The transmission is sealed, there is no dipstick if you have to have this looked at the Jaguar dealer will have to do it. 3) You car is fuel injected, have the dealer check your ignition coils. Hope this helps. :)

steering wheel adjustment control/memory out of control
I have a 2001 Jaguar Vanden Plas.

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

I leased a Jaguar 2001 S-Type 3.0. Within the first 500 miles, the car broke down twice. The power train control module and the automatic transmission had to be replaced.

X-Plan
As I stated earlier if you're seeking to purchase or lease a 2001 Jaguar S-Type, you will save at least a minimum of $1,000-$1,500 on an X-plan purchase or lease.

When it comes to Ford, Mazda or Lincoln/Mercury cars or trucks the savings are small or virtually non-existent over that of ... Read More
