I’m a retired mechanic JR, and I do very much like watching your Videos! Your patience and control in diagnosis of problems on ALL the different models of cars You repair is amazing. Thanks for making clean and intelligent videos to watch.
Great result and will be even better when detailed. I've had 2 Jags and from my experience they are super fussy about battery voltage but hopefully the outstanding codes are not too serious. Re: oil level, get the engine up to temperature, wait 10 minutes then check.
Oh, that supercharger whine~ Was wondering if clearing the codes would help, seems like it did for the most part. Looking forward to seeing this car properly cleaned up and sorted!
I just drove it home, read your comment, turned it back on and boom oil level is right on the money 🔥🔥🔥 I must have tried 10 times and it never gave me a reading before.
I was literally just about to comment the same when I saw your post. I have an F-Type R with the 5.0 V8 and it works the same way. Car has to be off for at least 10 minutes before it'll let you check.
Watching now but glad whatever it was you got it figured out. The KISS principle tends to apply here but having that uber scan tool very helpful for you. I have a midrange Autel but it reads everything on my 06 Charger RT so works for me.
Sadly soon all combustion cars and trucks including classics will be banned from public streets in entire EU and Scandinavia :-( In Germany the Green Peoples Party gave order to shorten fuel supply from 2025 on by reducing all conventional fuel stations to only one state operated central gas station per city or county. Car washs will be forbidden too because they are climate killers, now they want to slow down all the gas station pumps from 20 litre per minute to 2 litre per minute...From 2027 on in the EU certain car spare parts will be banned too....as exhaust systems, turbo chargers and even some engine and gearbox oils...California and New York will do the same from 2027 on.... So no investments should be done in oil burning cars any longer....They even created a new kind of crime here, called emissions and smoke crime. (BABVVEN & TEBBVEN & BEFVO laws)!
It’s too bad that you are no longer interested in responding to your subscribers and you have a stupid automated response. I very much enjoyed our back and forth on several subjects. Don’t take this as negative. This is meant to be constructive. I believe in what you’re doing. Don’t get too big for your supporters.
I'm not a mechanic by any chance but I've learnt that a bad secondary batteries can cause some of the problems you mentioned. So, I'll strongly suggest you get that replaced before replacing anything.
You noted that it may have been tuned. A tuned F-type typically consists of an aftermarket supercharger pulley and a reflashed ECU. If there's only one and not the other (due to changing the engine), that may be the issue. (I'm not the first to note this.) I wonder if some of the naysayers will now decide that Jags are nice...
@@WatchJRGo I'm sure that you're right, that it's tuned for the smaller SC pulley but the tune on these aj126 are typically for a the crank pulley which is 11.6% larger. This was the case on both my F-Type and F-paces.
Depending on the state you may need a license to buy Freon. It called a universal license. Allows you to purchase Freon anywhere in the world…. Never expires either…at least mine doesn’t
FYI. Whenever you plug into the OBD2 port of the F type you can mess up some of the electronics. It creates an electrical drain in one of the computers that will kill the battery (wouldn't be a Jag without some electrical quirk, right?). The way you get around this is after plugging into the OBD2 port, disconnect the battery for ~30 sec and whatever problem the OBD2 connection created is reset. I disconnect the ground to the car under the truck liner, not the battery itself as the access is easier. I killed a couple of batteries until I learned the battery disconnect trick. Nice series.
If you have heavy steering, steering solenoid fault codes and dynamic mode is not available you might want to check out a TSB issued for this problem : static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2016/SB-10095101-1020.pdf I did this last year on a customers car and haven’t had a problem since.
If a vehicle has sat for more than three months with less than a full tank (especially ethanol blends) the fuel is BAD even if it’s good The two number one diagnostic goto’s are bad earths and other electrical connections then bad fuel.
Hey like my 2012 xkr for which the fType is based off of the oil light can only be read when the car is cool and in the on position, not with the car running....im 99.99999% sure...loved this video
JR, you said at 11:10-15 you'd put a link in the description for "car-link, car-leaf, couldn't make it out? that you were using for the live info as you were driving the Jag. Really would like to check that out, if you'd be so kind to post the link for it. Thanks, enjoyed the Jag series, as always.
Very happy it is nearly all sorted. I've not had this as a big issue myself but the forums seem to think the F Type is pretty sensitive to bad fuel and a lot of people suggest using injector cleaner every third or forth fill up. Certainly mine runs slightly sweeter after running a bottle of injector cleaner through it.
I have both MACS Section 609 Automotive AC Certification and also Mainstream Engineering Section 608 Type 1 Home AC Certification .. There is another type of certification for industrial AC and refrigeration equipment.
Curious - do you have any issues with using the OBDII port and the battery draining ? Apparently a notorious issue with the F-Type if you do not "disconnect' properly
Hey JR I have a 2015 R with a broken vent thats stuck, you mentioned you might fix yours would love to you do a video of that. Thanks for your videos!!
If this F-Type is like mine the oil level can’t be checked as you drive. After you shut down the engine for like 10 min., THEN it will check the oil level.
Hi, JR. I just tried using the Carly code you mentioned on their site but unfortunately I keep getting a "voucher is invalid/expired" error. Is the code case sensitive perhaps?
Most of your viewers have never seen how HUGE of change clay alone can make. I clay commercial vehicles every day, and it’s one of those asmr visuals that you simply cannot beat, well maybe making perfect stripes on your lawn…
I have a jaguar f type s 2016. I had 12k miles this spring and i had a check engine light for o2 sensor. I read it was a warranty item and they fixed it no questions asked. I want to see you try this. Warranty on o2 sensors is 10 years 100k miles
Hey what's with the Major Sound system in your garage?? Do you throw parties there or have jams?? That's a full on concert series set up you have on the mounts up there!
I don't know how you have the patience to work on these cars. A special breed . Thank God for mechanics. My motto was always that when I could afford a mechanic I knew I was doing ok in life !! 🤣
Trees? Meh. My C6 spent approximately 3 years sitting outside, in the sun, in Ohio before I bought it. It got hot enough to spiderweb the rear view mirror. Nearly every body panel has some nice crosshatch mess / cracking where where the SMC panels are bonded. It looks like scratches, but it's not. The only fix of which I'm aware is to sand it down, shoot it with high-build primer, paint, and clear. (Essentially, repaint the entire car.) Oh, well. At least it was cheap.
You need some Goo Gone for those stupid windshield stickers, then use the razor to finish them off, then some glass cleaner to clean up the Goo Gone and any other residue left behind. The Detail Dudes definitely need to get after that thing, even after washing it looks awful, just slightly less awful.
I did a xf last year got it as a non runner and replaced the engine ...it was always unhappy and endless headaches ....I did get everything sorted after a few weeks but it always came back with codes ,not sure if it was ground wires or what but I ended up parting ways and cutting my losses
I was saving my "I told you so" comment from the moment you bought this and I said it was a bad idea. Well.........maybe I'm wrong. I will say it's a way better decision than the R8. And as far as ugly Jags go, this one isn't one of those. So drive and enjoy. And check all of your fuses if you haven't already.
It'll have been because of the emissions codes newer cars are throwing random codes all over every system to I assume force people to do something about it.
With a bunch of the more modern vehicles. Once a code is set the system stays inactive/broken until you clear the codes. Put your a new switch or window motor in a BMW. Stays off until you clear the code and possibly relearn the window. Also I've seen the secondary battery mess with the rest of the electrical causing all kinds of random module errors. Here's to hoping it's something simple and stupid.
I used one of those quick AC recharge kits on an old beat up Nissan Maxima I had years ago. Quick top off in May and it would blow ice cold all summer.

Love how you methodically just prioritize and over come any fear repairing these machines.
his methodical skill are lacking if he did not cleat the codes after the engine swap.....
@@walterwhite2270 if you'd have watched the other video he did clear the codes
Nice job with this car, this has been a fun project to watch. One of the better projects you've ever done.
Jr Went, then Jr Broke, now Jr Go once again 🔥🔥🔥
Watch jr go 😱
i'm sorry ... did you get hit in the head or something??
You have to wait at least 10 (more like 15) minutes with the car off to check the oil. We have XK's but the F Type is a fun car. enjoy!
Hope you bring out a video when you detail the Jag. Would be great to see the before and after shots of the car. Cheers
Great result and will be even better when detailed. I've had 2 Jags and from my experience they are super fussy about battery voltage but hopefully the outstanding codes are not too serious.
Re: oil level, get the engine up to temperature, wait 10 minutes then check.
WatchJR Jag has been one of my favorites. The before and after will be insane. Once the Detail Dudes work, their magic is going to be incredible.
Oh, that supercharger whine~ Was wondering if clearing the codes would help, seems like it did for the most part. Looking forward to seeing this car properly cleaned up and sorted!
To check the oil... After warming up the engine turn it off, wait 10min or so then without turning the engine back on check the oil
I just drove it home, read your comment, turned it back on and boom oil level is right on the money 🔥🔥🔥

91 is ‘Premium’ gas? We have 97 RON in the UK, 95 E10 is minimum grade.

Congratulations! Watched this from day 1 and I'm so glad for you that it worked out. Excellent work.
Just looked to see what a Jag F type is . It's considered to be an underated super car .
You can just order a 30 pound bottle online. That's what I do, even thou I do have my liscense.
Congrats! I love my 2017 S AWD. love this whole series and hoping to see more videos of you customizing it to your likings!
Get that pentosin out of the power steering. That's why the steering feels like crap. Ask me how I know.
Unfortunately, changing the wiper relay is an engine-out job.
I knew you'd figure this out real fast. It didn't seem like it was a major issue when you ran it around the block....
Beautiful car, glad you got it fixed. 👍

But did you stay at a Holiday Inn express?
@@TheRvg03gt Yeah I did. My favourite was the one overlooking a mechanic shop close to your neighbourhood.
@@hamskyxxx 😂😂😂
Considering the tune probably killed the old motor are you going to put it back to stock?
Awesome to see the progress JR! Looking forward to seeing this beautiful car back in its prime.
I've got a Jag XJ (X351) with the diesel engine. Checking the oil is a pain. Wish it had a normal dipstick.
Nice work, JR!
Now sell that Jag quick!
Ah yes, The famous last words of a soon to be ex jag owner....
Looking forward to getting my 2012 XJL 5.0 running. Looks like you're having a good time!

It's tuned for the smaller pulley, you can see it throws a temporary code that says "Non-OEM Calibration" 🍻
@@WatchJRGo I'm sure that you're right, that it's tuned for the smaller SC pulley but the tune on these aj126 are typically for a the crank pulley which is 11.6% larger. This was the case on both my F-Type and F-paces.
Depending on the state you may need a license to buy Freon. It called a universal license. Allows you to purchase Freon anywhere in the world…. Never expires either…at least mine doesn’t
Damn 4 dollars for premium am paying 4.50 for 87 thanks Illinois
One of your coolest cars ever on this channel.
8:43 just put a rock on top of the tank in the machine to trick it into thinking more refrigerant is in the tank than actually is

I just buy refrigerant off of marketplace for my AC machine. Same price. No license required
I was watching another TH-camr (JPM Performance) in the Topeka area mention Mexico when driving fast on a road, is this a Kansas thing? lol
Buy Freon from eBay. You can get 30lbs. bottles there. They even sell R-12 which i buy a case at a time of R12 with no problems
Wow JR, it should be a ticketable offence driving a convertible with the top up and A/C on. Top down and A/C on is where it's at.

How is 91 octane petrol premium ? Here in New Zealand 91 is the lowest then 95 / 98 then 100 if you are rich.
