I'm a few years late on comments but what the heck. My X-type (3.0 AWD) is 18 years old (2004), I've had it for nearly 12 years and it has over 200,000 miles. Regular issues with all cars, replacing tires, brakes, shocks, battery, that's pretty much it. It's been a great experience. Some things get worn over time depending on the level of care, seats (getting in and out), headliner (glue around the edges drying out), louvers for the defrost on the front window getting warped, headlights frosting. Notice that I didn't mention anything mechanical!
Just passed 21 on my 2001 X-Type 3.0 Sport which I've had from new. 110k miles now. As you say, very reliable car. You get the things you expect to wear out. My headliner is still good though. That's an odd one.
I’m picking up a beautiful 54 plate. 2.5 sport saloon in light blue with the optional alloys, 125.000 miles, only issues are on the interior, new headlining needed and new gear knob, plus drivers seat bolster needs repairing. But the car is only £1600. I’m very excited.
I just had to replace a wheel bearing in the right front in my 2004, a bit pricey (as is everything) but it drives so much better now! Overall have had pretty good success. 146,000 miles
All these so called Jag problems are perfectly normal on any car as they get old. They are all wear and tear not just tyres, exhaust and brakes. All cars are inherently unreliable (even Toyota), some cars are less unreliable and sometimes you get lucky. Let’s face it if I have to spend money paying to repair a car I would rather it be something I like and enjoy than some everyday piece of rubbish.
The problem with X types is they are a lovely drive and very affordable, but sadly a pain to maintain in later life. However sharing information like this is a great way to keep these cats alive! Just starting to have issues with mine after 6 years of trouble free ownership. Rear passenger side tyre was shredded on the inside edge and annoying harmonic vibration present after new tyre fitted. The X type estate is a great looking car and even though it's an 07 plate it gets some admiring looks. Not bad economy too averaging 52-4 mpg on a motorway run. Any hints or tips on rear geometry adjustment and maintenance gratefully received.
Our 04 X-Type 3.0 AWD US car. It only had one issue and it was the cable between battery and alternator. When hot, the cable would not allow the alternator to charge the battery.
Another common fault is the alarm sounder going short circuit. It's the one that resides in the front left wing. The Ni-Cad back-up battery that's inside the sounder shorts out and blows the fuse that controls the centre console radio unit. Just turn the steering all of the way to the right. Take out the panel screw in the wheel well cover. Reach in and unplug the sounder. Fit a fresh fuse and off you go!
Front Radiator Crossmember support rotted out rest of car was perfect but it caused the rad to drop and a water leak started !!! Seems like poor quality metal was used to make it but apart from that no issues
I’ve just bought a 08 reg x type for £5500. 43k miles, 1 owner, full Jag service history, it’s a 2.2 diesel in the sports premium so it’s a top spec model. I’ve wanted an x type for a couple of years now but your video has scared the life out of me with the costly problems I’ve got coming!
Great clip.... dual mass flywheels on many cars seem to cause problems... you did the correct thing replacing the clutch and flywheel at the same time.
Cheers for this video, my 2006 x type 2.0 D has done 118,000 miles and has few problems, restarting it after a journey with it struggling is an issue though, thanks for the tip.
I bought a late 54 plate 3 years ago with 122K on it. All these jobs had been taken care of by previous owners. All I've replaced in those 3 years is the alternator, brake pads and tyres. She still goes like a train!! Won't be my last X-Type.
Have had 2 estate 2.0ds in the last 13 years. An 05 and 06. 3 egr hoses, fitted myself. A/C compressor (£120 at Autodoc) . Clutch (£350 Autodoc +£300 fitting. 2 rear wheel bearings (£60 Autodoc, fitted myself) Dodgy speedo at the moment, think it is a dry solder somewhere, give the dash a thump, and it works. New serpentine belt (£12 Autodoc, fitted myself, but a real pain). Actuator on turbo, bought a complete 2nd hand turbo for £250, so used the actuat and have a spare turbo. A problem with the handbrake on both. One set of injectors. A set of disks all round with pads. In 13 years, I can wear that. Cheap motoring. All easy fixes.
I got my X-Type three years ago for under 3000 dollars. Had no repairs for these 3 years except the thermostat, a lug nut, the battery and a vacuum hose which I replaced myself (
You are right about dealership service...They overcharge and don't diagnose and repair... they will give a cursory diagnosis and replace with new parts. A decent welder can replace your sills at a very reasonable price... rusted sills are not a killer.
If the turbo is sooted up it can be cleaned, if the actuator has failed it can be repaired, commonly the solder points on the circuit board that feed the motor fail and just need re soldering, if the actuator motor has failed due to soothed up turbo making it burn out, turbo vanes will repair it for £88, turbo must be cleaned before fitting repaired actuator.
I was seriously considering picking up one of these as a runabout...hmm maybe not.....they look fab..but you are not the first to say that they are plagued with issues....thanks for the heads up....Honda Accord now then maybe....
Should of drilled hole in turbo, and sprayed turbo cleaner in, as Video on eBay, does work, cured my glow plug light problem, and cutting out, now been running well for over a year , saved me a fortune, no more glow plug light
Glow plug light and gearbox fault at the same time is jaguar and ford's way of telling you its limp mode if car is automatic 9 times out of 10 its the acumeter I found out the hard way cleaned turbo dpf filter removed professionally cleaned gearbox fluid changed spent a fortune and it kept going I to limp mode had acumeter changed £65 on ebay all sorted
I ran a 2006 X-Type for over three years, and aside from consumables and servicing, nothing broke. But then again, it didn't have a turbo, or an EGR, or a DPF or high pressure injectors.......
Thanks for interesting clip. I own a 2007 , 2.2 tdi for nearly 9 years. Lovely car ,have had to replace clutch, EGR valve and lower pulley. Otherwise normal services all good.
dang...Dad has a 3.0 2008 x-type and the only things that have gone out are the backup alarm, and your typical wear and tear items, Headlights, breaks. He had the hesitating problem and it was because the previous owner put too small of a battery in it.
2002 x-type 2.5 134k won’t start no crank air and radio turns on first three positions but on fourth radio turns off then back on nothing else please help 🥲
Head lights don't work one day but works the next. The car has over 105,000 miles . The rear lights don't work. All the bulbs are operational . the vehicle is a 2005 XTYPE. With an automatic transmission.
My x type jaguar is 20 years old as only 42 thousand miles on the clock is in mint condition and runs as sweet as a nut as never let me down all these faults happen on every car over time
I recently purchased a 2003 X-Type with the 2.5 litre V6 motor and automatic transmission. It's only traveled about 120,000 km (74,000 miles) It's in overall very good condition and is a nice car to drive. However, I've noticed a couple of annoying features, which are: (1) The passenger side door sill is loose at the front end. I am thinking to fix this I could drill a couple of holes on the top of the sill below the hinge portion of the front passenger door and use self tapping screws to secure the loose portion of the sill to the car body. (2) An occasional creaking noise from the steering wheel/column at low speed, (3) The Rear Parking Sensor's don't appear to work, and (4) An occasional very noticeable "thud" from rear of car which is especially noticeable on uneven roads. This "thudding" noise is not noticeable when driving on motorways or well paved roads. Would appreciate any advice or comments on these issues.
I got an 03 ranger and when I got it, it was more rust than truck and the transmission was slipping and about to go and the truck had 100k mikes on it, still have it I did a ton of body work on it and now it has very little body rust and my buddy owns a garage so he over hauled my transmission for free labor I had to pay for parts tho, I also had to replace the ball joints on the car too, the original owner never greased them and they where wearing the tires so bad, now it's a solid truck basically brand new now put about 17k miles on it since I've had it, I change my oil ever 4-5 months to keep it running at peak efficiency, I do it myself tho to save money
Thanks for the info about your truck. It's good to hear that these older vehicles can keep going if they're looked after properly. I hope you treat it to a clean once in a while!
New problem now that the new radiator solved the over heating problem. When the car is cold and I start it it revs very high up to 2k RPM, as the engine temperature heats up it will flash gear box fault and engine fault probelms, However shut off the car wait about 1 minute by that time the engine temperature needle reaches the middle, then all problems suddenly go away. I went ahead and cleaned the all the leaves dust and debri and installed a new cabin air filter. One day when driving on a 90 degree summer day hot day i was driving 70 mph and the rear window was foggy so i press the rear defrost button suddenly the car jumped into limp mode. I had to pull over wait 5 min for all to dry and didnt press the button again. it worked and i drive 60 miles back home. I assuming some coolant leak hit some belt some where and causes some wierd issue, yes I checked grounds and replaced the MAF and new Throttle body. Any thoughts would be greatly appriciated.
X-Type 2.0D owner Things I checked before buying; Clutch had been replaced for the transit (shhh) clutch. Not too much rust (mine had none) to the wheel arches or under the door sills (you need to get on the ground and look under here) Things I've done by choice; Blanked off the EGR Full service every year (really easy and if you don't do this yourself then you should be ashamed) Replaced the EGR hose with a more modern silicon one. Things I've HAD to get done; New water and oil thermostat (cheap job) New water pump (low-level disaster) New alternator belt (low-level disaster) New aux belt tensioner (chosen job) Turbo Cleaned (FOR THE LOVE OF GOD USE WYNNS TURBO CLEANER BEFORE PAYING FOR A CLEAN/REPLACEMENT/RECONDITION - USE TWO BOTTLES WITH A FULL TANK - If you act soon enough, this will fix the 'engine management/limp mode' problem 9 times out of 10) 2 and a half years though and it's without a doubt a labour of love, but I do love this car.
My 2001 2.4 AWD ran like a dream with only 50k on it. My problems were rust bubbles under the window trims, faulty electric front windows (slow up and down), welds needed on sills. I don't have it now but was a lovely specimen...
Hi ,ex Jag technician hear, worked on jags from 1963 until 2011, i did the factory introduction pre launch on the x- type at Gaydon. Rumble from engine, yes tensioner & pully, jag had a recall on this, i did quite a few. ECU reflashes , yes did all those. EGR valves , yes did those, used to run car at speed in low gear up hill untill it blasted black shit out back on deisel. Aspirator, Yes did those for being noisy. What else > , water pump leak, front & rear anti roll bar bushes and links, front & rear suspension arms & bushes, Rear shocks leaking, in tank fuel pump fail, brake discs & pads, fuel flap not opening and remote cable seized, boot latch whirring noise, Door handles not lifting up enough to open door, door locks bouncing- faulty latches, boot latch whirring noise, Wearing tyres badly, electrical faults diagnostics , on early ones, manual cars were rolling away, factory recall, hand brake assemblies had to be replaced, oil leaking from transfere box flange, 4 wheel drive relucter rings rusted and broke away ( rotors on rear drive shafts ) causing warning light on and loss of 4 wheel drive. Hand brake cables seizing, water in boot causing reverse aid module to fail, washer pump failed + tubing kinked under scuttle tray causing no washers, And lots more, the deisel was worse, bottom line is it was a terrible car. Seem to rust on metal components under vehicle causing rusty seized nuts and bolts, some bolts had to be heated up or hack sawed off to remove. The car is basically a nightmare, we were told jaguar bought these engines for £250 and on the course they said they were made to last 7 years, (how they could know that i don't know), the thing is things keep going wrong.. Sorry but you asked. How come you using the photo from the auto repair guys, ? . Follow concept symetry guitars video's and you'll see.
I am on the verge of buying a regularly maintained and well cared for 2003 X-Type 3.0L with automatic transmission. It's a two owner car. The 1st owner sold it a year after having it. The 2nd owner had it since 2004. They regularly maintained it at the nearest and most reputable Jaguar dealership in my area. When comparing this car to early - mid 2000 Audi, Mercedes and BMW, is the X-Type any worse or more expensive to maintain?
Are they are all pretty terrible, the different models of the x type, in your opinion? I love the look of the car and fancy getting one but am hearing they rust from the inside and are generally not reliable.
@@version736ha2 Everything has a price my friend. Yes Jaguar X type may have many problems during its life time. For me it is more trouble as here Jaguar is not very popular because of high fuel consumption and so it is hard to find a good mechanic for it. I had been denied by four mechanics and just by luck i found a perfect one.As long as you want to drive something timeless and masterpiece you will pay for it by spending more time and energy on mainteanence.When something is broken i have to order it from UK or a bigger city which means i won't use my car for a long time. What you get at this cost is timeless design and a true car design which does not have wrong proportions, it does not look like a toy or a japanese fish. I live in a touristic city and we have tourists coming from all around the world. Europeans, Russians, Arabs etc and all of them enjoy watching A jaguar pass by, it's engine roar etc no matter how much it is or old. You can buy a popular brand car and be like everyone else but the feelings will not come with them. It is a car that people and you will like to watch. If you are living in Europe or USA you will have an easier life with it.
2006 xtype gas. Sat all season battery is flat cant jump starter just clicks and moves but only a small amount and stops in a rhythmic pattern, on and off, each time engaging and moving the engine a few degrees.
My 2007 X-Type has the ABS and Battery light on and the DSC fault comes up. It has had a brand new battery. The multimeter shows the correct output from the alternator. The DSC sensor has been changed. Even though the ABS activates when braking hard. Because all those lights have come on. It has failed it's M.O.T.
You have been unlucky by the sounds of it, i had a new clutch flywheel ( under used car warranty) new springs my big problem which is very common on the ford diesels is the tempreture never reaches the middle this is caused by the oil cooler thermostat which i had 3 of two ended up being faulty ( all from jaguar) great cars comfortable plenty of power ( i have the 2,2 diesel estate) i buy a new xf sportbrake but they only do auto boxes now
I have been driving diesel cars since 2009 and somehow never had any diesel related problems had mondeo 2.0tdci x type 2.2d and now focus 1.5td,the mondeo I ran into the ground had it 9 years did over 200k in it,you can’t beat a petrol engine nicer to drive less to go wrong
I have A jag 2003 v6 patrol leaking coolant and waiting for me to carry it to a mechanic. I make one thing fixed then another one comes up... This is a love in mixture with hate... :)
Only a money pit like all used vehs..only prob is any veh is a money pit if you don't take care of simple matenece... diesel one is a plague of nothing but probs. I have a 2005 xtype but also have common sense to get a chiltons repair book to do all repairs my self but as video states most big ticket probs are pre 2005 xtypes.
You were robbed . I had a replacement clutch and dual mass flywheel for £700. A friend had it done for £800. The crankshaft pulley cost about £200. The turbo actuator can be bought reconditioned for just over £100 and mine was fitted for £10 . Forte diesel additives (£26 for 2 which are put in the fuel tank then run for 100 miles at cruisng speed before a good blast. ) should be tried before replacing the actuator. I seem to remember a sligh stalling issue which needed the fuel filter changing. I did 186000 before swapping the 2005 for a 2009 .
Hi there I have a 2004 jaguar X type 3.0 V6 I replaced three spark plugs on the backside and one of the coil packs because it was reading a misfire on number two. The misfire is now gone but it is reading engine fault, and gearbox fault also won’t go over 10 miles an hour. Can anyone help
What is unsaid here but known by all is that the X Type is not, fundamentally, a Jaguar. My 2001 XJR definitely is. Though several years older than the X Type discussed here, and having travelled 154,000 miles to date, it continues to provide me with excellent performance and reliability. Thanks to preventive maintenance carried out by an honest, independent Jaguar-only service shop, the car has never let me down or experienced an expensive failure.
Help! 07 2.2 won't rev, (very lumpy when trying to rev) lost of smoke, no dash warnings. I've replaced with new MAF sensor, EGR valve. But still got the same problem. It started doing last week, then was OK for a couple of days then started doing it again. Anyone any idea what it could be please 🙏
Hey I have a Jaguar x type 2.5 liter gasoline engine car and it is a 2003 year model and it is loaded with options for the year and I’m very familiar with diesel engines and turbos and when you hear that wooshing sound it is the turbo spooling and when excellerating this loud wooshing sound is called turbo lag and when the turbo spools up from the exhaust gases, the engine gets boost and then creates the power the car needs to move and if there is a leak in the line is then it’s going to take more for the turbo to spool up
I had a 2.0D Sport 2005. Was a number of years ago now and had nothing but trouble with it. Rear wheel hub, split EGR valve pipe, clutch and flywheel replaced, turbo problems, bonnet release cable snapped, brake master cylinder, rear suspension control arms. Worst car I've ever owned
I have a check engine light on i made a diagnosis they says that it has. Some codes to run ?? I'm worried about it ! Can you give me some solution for that thank you
Currently own a 3.0 with only 50k on the clock not owned it for very long and unfortunately bought it with no engine management light when I did notice that it wasn’t working I done a scan to find oxygen sensors are faulty so replaced them all but still got code after they were cleared , all sensors are denso anyone else got or had same problem? Many thanks
I have a 2002 3.0 JAG X TYPE GAS with 142,000 miles e and here is my difficult issue, On a HOT day in Chicago 80-90 degrees outside in stop and go expressway traffic you can hear the fans click on and try to main the temperature a cool middle needle temperature. but then after a few more feet and crawl and 15 more minutes , The onboard needle will start heading to the red and the fans suddenly seem to quit working period. I followed jag x type forums and I replaced the thermostat, spark plugs, water pump and belt, new car battery, both catalytic converters, gas pump, knock sensor, evaporative tank, and upper intake manifold gaskets. I am able to start the AC fans when the car is cold no problem. However suddenly the temperature needle will start going in the red H area on the dash board. I shut of the car as to not let it over heat. If I wait 1 hour with the car shut off, it will start working again until I get on the express way of I sit in the sun Parking lot not moving at idle on neutral or park. It's as if something coolant is not circulating properly. Some guy in the jag forum had the same issue. it was caused by the defective inter cooling module. He replaced it and the problems seem to have gone away. I assume its an electrical problem or grounding issue ? I wonder if it will resolve my issue ? Any help would be greatly apricated.
The petrol models don't have a turbo so no intercooler. It's probably in need of a good flush through or maybe a faulty temperature sensor. If it was really overheating it would blow coolant out of the coolant reservoir outlet pipe and you would notice low coolant level. I had to replace my water pump but only because it was leaking, it was still working OK. How did you resolve this?
Issues I had with mine at around 190k miles the belt pully seized up. And I had to change out the ac compressor and dryer around 180k. Radiator when out around 200k
I have watched the video and you never show the car or any of its faults. I have also watched your other video from 3 years ago that shows all the parts you say you bought for it. It is a much better and informative video even though it is only done from stills. I think you have watched 'Jaguar X Type - What can go wrong' - seen it has 135000 views and thought you would capitalise on it. This often happens on monetised channels and does nothing to help those who are looking for advice or help. With that I'll leave it.
I own an x type and things have gone wrong it. This video talks about those things. I may reupload it with pictures, if only to start afresh without all the trolling. Might even surpass your 135k video!
i've had the tensioner too at 73k miles and the hot start issue you mentioned, other than that it's been doing great. I also use premiun fuel coz i've found it really does help with noise and vibrations, not a massive amount, but enough to make a difference. I should mention mine is a 2008 2.0D as well.
@@andrewpearce2562 I'm referring to the tensioner. Got that sorted by the way with the upgrade kit they introduced later. Rare to find these days though.
I agree, but you'll never get a petrol to last to over 200k miles. Thankfully, my Jag is old enough to not have a DPF - It just spews all the soot onto the road!
Once you have owned a decent diesel and gone back to a petrol car you find the lack of torque disconcerting. Petrol cars are no more reliable. The issue here is would you buy a Jag when there are so many cars to choose from?
good morning, i'm thinking about buying a car like these but in a van. what is your feedback? what is the reliability? what are the expected consumptions? the car is from 2007 what problems can i expect? what are the chronic problems of this engine?
The parts are relatively cheap if you can do the work yourself. They are a nice car, I have a 2.2 Sovereign estate, but compared to a Volvo V70 I had before not in the same class. Would I buy one again after owning one for a while. No. Owning a Jag gives a sense of pride but it is not a better car than a Mondeo or pug 406 estate. If you do really want one, check it extensively for rust, even if you think it's not old enough to be rusty.
Hi, great video.I searched as I have an opportunity to pick up a 2008 2.0 L D with 80,000 miles on her. She has a full service history, was recently serviced and has an NCT (I’m in Ireland) for the next 12 months. The dealer is a friend and the mechanic out of their stock has recommended we go for this one. She looks great and it 4K euro which seems fair. We go and look at her tomorrow,any advice on what to look for and what to listen for on the test drive? Thanks in advance!! Peter
Look what a university degree can do for you, no need to ever actually have to make a video of an actual car, simply discuss the issues. Well done nice video.
Ok, so I should have had some pictures. I didn't because I'd have had to either use pictures on the Internet that I don't own or take really uninformative pictures of my own car. But next time I will include pictures regardless
Have a 2008 jagaur x type 2.0D my cluster light not working along with the outside front and rear light have tried it on auto still no luck anyone had this problem?
Hi there Good morning I have a 2009 X type 2.2 auto with 37k on the clock It’s in pristine condition but lately the engine developed a misfire after it warms up she runs ok Then this PDF came on the engine became sluggish and looking back there’s no black smoke Have you any idea what’s wrong with this Jaguar Tony

Get your castor angle on suspension checked and tracking checked
My question is a very simple one:
What would you estimate the car has cost you in regards to faults/repairs during your ownership?
Our 04 X-Type 3.0 AWD US car. It only had one issue and it was the cable between battery and alternator. When hot, the cable would not allow the alternator to charge the battery.
You can buy the turbo actuator on eBay £65. I just replaced my one after a garage told me its a turbo. The eBay fixed it.
Another common fault is the alarm sounder going short circuit. It's the one that resides in the front left wing. The Ni-Cad back-up battery that's inside the sounder shorts out and blows the fuse that controls the centre console radio unit. Just turn the steering all of the way to the right. Take out the panel screw in the wheel well cover. Reach in and unplug the sounder. Fit a fresh fuse and off you go!
Sharing knowledge, you're awesome!
Front Radiator Crossmember support rotted out rest of car was perfect but it caused the rad to drop and a water leak started !!! Seems like poor quality metal was used to make it but apart from that no issues

Honestly you'll be fine. I had a lot of my work done in advance of things going wrong. But definitely set a bit of cash aside!
£5500 the guy that sold it you is dancing to the bank right now!

You can change just the actuator alone... it's there same one as used in Mondeo mk3
I was hoping to do this. Just buy an actuator on line and replace for the current one. Just looks like a couple of bolts and a plug?
@@Cornwallclips 3small bolts, it's a plugin. I've done it needs no special programming to turbo.

If the turbo is sooted up it can be cleaned, if the actuator has failed it can be repaired, commonly the solder points on the circuit board that feed the motor fail and just need re soldering, if the actuator motor has failed due to soothed up turbo making it burn out, turbo vanes will repair it for £88, turbo must be cleaned before fitting repaired actuator.
And yes I own a 2005 xtype..185 tho miles n yes I have chiltons books on veh as well as any veh I have owned in the past.
I was seriously considering picking up one of these as a runabout...hmm maybe not.....they look fab..but you are not the first to say that they are plagued with issues....thanks for the heads up....Honda Accord now then maybe....
Should of drilled hole in turbo, and sprayed turbo cleaner in, as Video on eBay, does work, cured my glow plug light problem, and cutting out, now been running well for over a year , saved me a fortune, no more glow plug light
Glow plug light and gearbox fault at the same time is jaguar and ford's way of telling you its limp mode if car is automatic 9 times out of 10 its the acumeter I found out the hard way cleaned turbo dpf filter removed professionally cleaned gearbox fluid changed spent a fortune and it kept going I to limp mode had acumeter changed £65 on ebay all sorted
I ran a 2006 X-Type for over three years, and aside from consumables and servicing, nothing broke.
But then again, it didn't have a turbo, or an EGR, or a DPF or high pressure injectors.......
Thanks for interesting clip. I own a 2007 , 2.2 tdi for nearly 9 years. Lovely car ,have had to replace clutch, EGR valve and lower pulley. Otherwise normal services all good.
dang...Dad has a 3.0 2008 x-type and the only things that have gone out are the backup alarm, and your typical wear and tear items, Headlights, breaks. He had the hesitating problem and it was because the previous owner put too small of a battery in it.
has 90k miles atm
Petrol engines are simpler - no dual mass flywheel, no turbo, egr, dpf or high pressure injectors...
I have a Jaguar X-Type 2005 the engine light is on in the dashboard how to resolve problem?
U say “I’m not a mechanic “ lol No shit ! It’s the fan thingy lol
2002 x-type 2.5 134k won’t start no crank air and radio turns on first three positions but on fourth radio turns off then back on nothing else please help 🥲
Thanks for the review of common errors Jake. I've just bought an '09 plate x type and found your post really helpful:)
How has it been for you? I'm thinking of getting one myself.
Head lights don't work one day but works the next. The car has over 105,000 miles . The rear lights don't work. All the bulbs are operational . the vehicle is a 2005 XTYPE. With an automatic transmission.
A grand and a half!!! Seen you coming my man lol 600 - 650 bought and fitted Maximum!!!
i paid 2.5k
My 05 X type burns through wheel bearings quicker than most cars it’s 2.5L 5 spd other than that it’s the most reliable car I’ve owned
My x type jaguar is 20 years old as only 42 thousand miles on the clock is in mint condition and runs as sweet as a nut as never let me down all these faults happen on every car over time
IM NOT GOING TO BYE ONE AFTER HEARING ALL THIS Thank you 👍
All used vehs will have some issues..fact of life. Jags are no different...
It’s called a camshaft position censor, easy fix a couple of bolts , about £50 the part
I recently purchased a 2003 X-Type with the 2.5 litre V6 motor and automatic transmission. It's only traveled about 120,000 km (74,000 miles) It's in overall very good condition and is a nice car to drive. However, I've noticed a couple of annoying features, which are: (1) The passenger side door sill is loose at the front end. I am thinking to fix this I could drill a couple of holes on the top of the sill below the hinge portion of the front passenger door and use self tapping screws to secure the loose portion of the sill to the car body. (2) An occasional creaking noise from the steering wheel/column at low speed, (3) The Rear Parking Sensor's don't appear to work, and (4) An occasional very noticeable "thud" from rear of car which is especially noticeable on uneven roads. This "thudding" noise is not noticeable when driving on motorways or well paved roads. Would appreciate any advice or comments on these issues.
I have the same bump/thump from my 2008 X-type with a 3.0 engine. I have not yet had a chance to work out what the cause and fix is for it yet.
Thud from rear could just be a sway bar link that needs replacing.
I got an 03 ranger and when I got it, it was more rust than truck and the transmission was slipping and about to go and the truck had 100k mikes on it, still have it I did a ton of body work on it and now it has very little body rust and my buddy owns a garage so he over hauled my transmission for free labor I had to pay for parts tho, I also had to replace the ball joints on the car too, the original owner never greased them and they where wearing the tires so bad, now it's a solid truck basically brand new now put about 17k miles on it since I've had it, I change my oil ever 4-5 months to keep it running at peak efficiency, I do it myself tho to save money
Thanks for the info about your truck. It's good to hear that these older vehicles can keep going if they're looked after properly. I hope you treat it to a clean once in a while!
Dr Jake's Very British Reviews I only wash it in the winter to keep the salt off of it so it doesn't rust haha
New problem now that the new radiator solved the over heating problem. When the car is cold and I start it it revs very high up to 2k RPM, as the engine temperature heats up it will flash gear box fault and engine fault probelms, However shut off the car wait about 1 minute by that time the engine temperature needle reaches the middle, then all problems suddenly go away. I went ahead and cleaned the all the leaves dust and debri and installed a new cabin air filter. One day when driving on a 90 degree summer day hot day i was driving 70 mph and the rear window was foggy so i press the rear defrost button suddenly the car jumped into limp mode. I had to pull over wait 5 min for all to dry and didnt press the button again. it worked and i drive 60 miles back home. I assuming some coolant leak hit some belt some where and causes some wierd issue, yes I checked grounds and replaced the MAF and new Throttle body. Any thoughts would be greatly appriciated.
X-Type 2.0D owner
Things I checked before buying;
Clutch had been replaced for the transit (shhh) clutch.
Not too much rust (mine had none) to the wheel arches or under the door sills (you need to get on the ground and look under here)
Things I've done by choice;
Blanked off the EGR
Full service every year (really easy and if you don't do this yourself then you should be ashamed)
Replaced the EGR hose with a more modern silicon one.
Things I've HAD to get done;
New water and oil thermostat (cheap job)
New water pump (low-level disaster)
New alternator belt (low-level disaster)
New aux belt tensioner (chosen job)
Turbo Cleaned (FOR THE LOVE OF GOD USE WYNNS TURBO CLEANER BEFORE PAYING FOR A CLEAN/REPLACEMENT/RECONDITION - USE TWO BOTTLES WITH A FULL TANK - If you act soon enough, this will fix the 'engine management/limp mode' problem 9 times out of 10)
2 and a half years though and it's without a doubt a labour of love, but I do love this car.
Ive owned my x type sport estate 10years + 195000 miles remapped good workhorse boot it in 2nd daily 4000rpm to blow the crap out runs sweet
My 2001 2.4 AWD ran like a dream with only 50k on it. My problems were rust bubbles under the window trims, faulty electric front windows (slow up and down), welds needed on sills. I don't have it now but was a lovely specimen...
Hi ,ex Jag technician hear, worked on jags from 1963 until 2011, i did the factory introduction pre launch on the x- type at Gaydon.
Rumble from engine, yes tensioner & pully, jag had a recall on this, i did quite a few.
ECU reflashes , yes did all those.
EGR valves , yes did those, used to run car at speed in low gear up hill untill it blasted black shit out back on deisel.
Aspirator, Yes did those for being noisy.
What else > , water pump leak, front & rear anti roll bar bushes and links, front & rear suspension arms & bushes,
Rear shocks leaking, in tank fuel pump fail, brake discs & pads, fuel flap not opening and remote cable seized, boot latch whirring noise,
Door handles not lifting up enough to open door, door locks bouncing- faulty latches, boot latch whirring noise,
Wearing tyres badly, electrical faults diagnostics , on early ones, manual cars were rolling away, factory recall, hand brake assemblies had to be replaced, oil leaking from transfere box flange, 4 wheel drive relucter rings rusted and broke away ( rotors on rear drive shafts ) causing warning light on and loss of 4 wheel drive. Hand brake cables seizing, water in boot causing reverse aid module to fail, washer pump failed + tubing kinked under scuttle tray causing no washers,
And lots more, the deisel was worse, bottom line is it was a terrible car. Seem to rust on metal components under vehicle causing rusty seized nuts and bolts, some bolts had to be heated up or hack sawed off to remove. The car is basically a nightmare, we were told jaguar bought these engines for £250 and on the course they said they were made to last 7 years, (how they could know that i don't know), the thing is things keep going wrong.. Sorry but you asked.
How come you using the photo from the auto repair guys, ? .
Follow concept symetry guitars video's and you'll see.
I am on the verge of buying a regularly maintained and well cared for 2003 X-Type 3.0L with automatic transmission. It's a two owner car. The 1st owner sold it a year after having it. The 2nd owner had it since 2004. They regularly maintained it at the nearest and most reputable Jaguar dealership in my area. When comparing this car to early - mid 2000 Audi, Mercedes and BMW, is the X-Type any worse or more expensive to maintain?
I watch your channel and take many good advices...cheers..
Are they are all pretty terrible, the different models of the x type, in your opinion? I love the look of the car and fancy getting one but am hearing they rust from the inside and are generally not reliable.
@@version736ha2 Everything has a price my friend. Yes Jaguar X type may have many problems during its life time. For me it is more trouble as here Jaguar is not very popular because of high fuel consumption and so it is hard to find a good mechanic for it. I had been denied by four mechanics and just by luck i found a perfect one.As long as you want to drive something timeless and masterpiece you will pay for it by spending more time and energy on mainteanence.When something is broken i have to order it from UK or a bigger city which means i won't use my car for a long time.
What you get at this cost is timeless design and a true car design which does not have wrong proportions, it does not look like a toy or a japanese fish. I live in a touristic city and we have tourists coming from all around the world. Europeans, Russians, Arabs etc and all of them enjoy watching A jaguar pass by, it's engine roar etc no matter how much it is or old. You can buy a popular brand car and be like everyone else but the feelings will not come with them. It is a car that people and you will like to watch.
If you are living in Europe or USA you will have an easier life with it.
tq very much indeed ! new & brave xtype owner😂
2006 xtype gas. Sat all season battery is flat cant jump starter just clicks and moves but only a small amount and stops in a rhythmic pattern, on and off, each time engaging and moving the engine a few degrees.
My 2007 X-Type has the ABS and Battery light on and the DSC fault comes up. It has had a brand new battery. The multimeter shows the correct output from the alternator. The DSC sensor has been changed. Even though the ABS activates when braking hard. Because all those lights have come on. It has failed it's M.O.T.
Did you get the issues resolved?
You have been unlucky by the sounds of it, i had a new clutch flywheel ( under used car warranty) new springs my big problem which is very common on the ford diesels is the tempreture never reaches the middle this is caused by the oil cooler thermostat which i had 3 of two ended up being faulty ( all from jaguar) great cars comfortable plenty of power ( i have the 2,2 diesel estate) i buy a new xf sportbrake but they only do auto boxes now
Thanks, great video. I'm in the market for a cheap commuter diesel and have been eyeing up an x type!
did you get one? How has it been?
@@andrewpearce2562 got an old 530d instead. It's excellent 👌🏽
@@pdpiper Oh really! That also is a car I'm VERY interested in! 😄
thanks. You just saved me from buying a 2003 X type jaguar. I wont be buying a Jag for sure
I have been driving diesel cars since 2009 and somehow never had any diesel related problems had mondeo 2.0tdci x type 2.2d and now focus 1.5td,the mondeo I ran into the ground had it 9 years did over 200k in it,you can’t beat a petrol engine nicer to drive less to go wrong
Dr, can you have a look at this boil I'm a bit concerned about?
No, but if you need to undertake a scientific experiment requiring the development of a computer algorithm, let me know!
I'm pretty sure you are talking about the INTERCOOLER pipe splitting, not the EGR hoses.
I've had a split egr pipe and intercooler hose on mine
great x type info
I love the Jaguar videos, if you make more, I will watch them all. Cheers!
I have A jag 2003 v6 patrol leaking coolant and waiting for me to carry it to a mechanic. I make one thing fixed then another one comes up... This is a love in mixture with hate... :)
Jaguars nothing but a money pit very nice car
Only a money pit like all used vehs..only prob is any veh is a money pit if you don't take care of simple matenece... diesel one is a plague of nothing but probs. I have a 2005 xtype but also have common sense to get a chiltons repair book to do all repairs my self but as video states most big ticket probs are pre 2005 xtypes.
You were robbed . I had a replacement clutch and dual mass flywheel for £700. A friend had it done for £800. The crankshaft pulley cost about £200. The turbo actuator can be bought reconditioned for just over £100 and mine was fitted for £10 . Forte diesel additives (£26 for 2 which are put in the fuel tank then run for 100 miles at cruisng speed before a good blast. ) should be tried before replacing the actuator. I seem to remember a sligh stalling issue which needed the fuel filter changing. I did 186000 before swapping the 2005 for a 2009 .
Hi there I have a 2004 jaguar X type 3.0 V6 I replaced three spark plugs on the backside and one of the coil packs because it was reading a misfire on number two. The misfire is now gone but it is reading engine fault, and gearbox fault also won’t go over 10 miles an hour. Can anyone help
I have a 04 v6 3.0 i had to replace transmission,cv axle,struts front and back,brakes
I got x type 03 2.5 petrol got green light on vattry got all lights on dash but won't start tried jump stiiwont start 2:24
What is unsaid here but known by all is that the X Type is not, fundamentally, a Jaguar. My 2001 XJR definitely is. Though several years older than the X Type discussed here, and having travelled 154,000 miles to date, it continues to provide me with excellent performance and reliability. Thanks to preventive maintenance carried out by an honest, independent Jaguar-only service shop, the car has never let me down or experienced an expensive failure.
Help! 07 2.2 won't rev, (very lumpy when trying to rev) lost of smoke, no dash warnings. I've replaced with new MAF sensor, EGR valve. But still got the same problem. It started doing last week, then was OK for a couple of days then started doing it again. Anyone any idea what it could be please 🙏
Hey I have a Jaguar x type 2.5 liter gasoline engine car and it is a 2003 year model and it is loaded with options for the year and I’m very familiar with diesel engines and turbos and when you hear that wooshing sound it is the turbo spooling and when excellerating this loud wooshing sound is called turbo lag and when the turbo spools up from the exhaust gases, the engine gets boost and then creates the power the car needs to move and if there is a leak in the line is then it’s going to take more for the turbo to spool up
I had a 2.0D Sport 2005. Was a number of years ago now and had nothing but trouble with it. Rear wheel hub, split EGR valve pipe, clutch and flywheel replaced, turbo problems, bonnet release cable snapped, brake master cylinder, rear suspension control arms. Worst car I've ever owned
I have a check engine light on i made a diagnosis they says that it has. Some codes to run ?? I'm worried about it ! Can you give me some solution for that thank you
Currently own a 3.0 with only 50k on the clock not owned it for very long and unfortunately bought it with no engine management light when I did notice that it wasn’t working I done a scan to find oxygen sensors are faulty so replaced them all but still got code after they were cleared , all sensors are denso anyone else got or had same problem? Many thanks
Sorry mistake Below camshaft sensor £10 on eBay 1 Bolt easy fix to missing engine fire, cutting out mode
2002 x-type 3.0 v6, has about 40k miles on it, only ever had a battery fault :), i won't go near a diesel anything.
Diseasel hehehe
From what I know the S type from 2004 have less problems, for the X type I think is the same.
Excellent presentation !
I have a 2002 3.0 JAG X TYPE GAS with 142,000 miles e and here is my difficult issue, On a HOT day in Chicago 80-90 degrees outside in stop and go expressway traffic you can hear the fans click on and try to main the temperature a cool middle needle temperature. but then after a few more feet and crawl and 15 more minutes , The onboard needle will start heading to the red and the fans suddenly seem to quit working period. I followed jag x type forums and I replaced the thermostat, spark plugs, water pump and belt, new car battery, both catalytic converters, gas pump, knock sensor, evaporative tank, and upper intake manifold gaskets. I am able to start the AC fans when the car is cold no problem. However suddenly the temperature needle will start going in the red H area on the dash board. I shut of the car as to not let it over heat. If I wait 1 hour with the car shut off, it will start working again until I get on the express way of I sit in the sun Parking lot not moving at idle on neutral or park. It's as if something coolant is not circulating properly. Some guy in the jag forum had the same issue. it was caused by the defective inter cooling module. He replaced it and the problems seem to have gone away. I assume its an electrical problem or grounding issue ? I wonder if it will resolve my issue ? Any help would be greatly apricated.
The petrol models don't have a turbo so no intercooler. It's probably in need of a good flush through or maybe a faulty temperature sensor. If it was really overheating it would blow coolant out of the coolant reservoir outlet pipe and you would notice low coolant level. I had to replace my water pump but only because it was leaking, it was still working OK. How did you resolve this?
@@dwchester I winded up replacing the 20 year old radiator at my choosing and it solved the overheating problem.
Jaguar X-Type 2005 Sports Diesel My alarm keeps going writing on the Dash says Drivers Back Door Open?
I have a problem with cruise control ... nothing is happening ... no error ... and a problem with temperature gauge
Issues I had with mine at around 190k miles the belt pully seized up. And I had to change out the ac compressor and dryer around 180k. Radiator when out around 200k
Mine was the 2.5 gas engine.
It's amazing that you got to 200k. Is it still going?
Dr Jake's Very British Reviews I sold it at 220k i was not the original owner got it around 150k. But it ran great.
Very impressed! I hope mine makes it that far. What have you got now?
Any updates now lol I know it’s been a while
i think if you are going to make a video about an X Type you should actually show the car and the defects you claim.
And you leave a thumbs down for that? This is an informative video
No it's not. It's click bait. There's no evidence you even have this car.
Have you even watched the video? What a stupid comment. Of course I own the car.
I have watched the video and you never show the car or any of its faults. I have also watched your other video from 3 years ago that shows all the parts you say you bought for it. It is a much better and informative video even though it is only done from stills. I think you have watched 'Jaguar X Type - What can go wrong' - seen it has 135000 views and thought you would capitalise on it. This often happens on monetised channels and does nothing to help those who are looking for advice or help. With that I'll leave it.
I own an x type and things have gone wrong it. This video talks about those things. I may reupload it with pictures, if only to start afresh without all the trolling. Might even surpass your 135k video!
i've had the tensioner too at 73k miles and the hot start issue you mentioned, other than that it's been doing great. I also use premiun fuel coz i've found it really does help with noise and vibrations, not a massive amount, but enough to make a difference. I should mention mine is a 2008 2.0D as well.
is this the V-belt tensioner you're referring to, or timing belt?
@@andrewpearce2562 I'm referring to the tensioner. Got that sorted by the way with the upgrade kit they introduced later. Rare to find these days though.
Hi, I have a jaguar xtype,,I am a problem with the code 442,, vent canister purge valve with can I do???
Diesel Jaguar X type uses ford mondeo parts. Probably it is cheaper to go to local garage for repairs
Sounds like a nightmare, this is why I don't like any diesels, the money you save on fuel, you spend on repairs. Have you checked your DPF lately?
I agree, but you'll never get a petrol to last to over 200k miles. Thankfully, my Jag is old enough to not have a DPF - It just spews all the soot onto the road!
Once you have owned a decent diesel and gone back to a petrol car you find the lack of torque disconcerting. Petrol cars are no more reliable. The issue here is would you buy a Jag when there are so many cars to choose from?
Buy one from a mechanic mate of yours like I did😎No issues ever😁👍
I have a 2003 3.0. Misfire on all cylinders. With cylinder 5 a dead misfire. I am figuring it is the plugs and coils.
Watch out on that I had same replace all coil plugs was water in the ECU
Hi,when I turn the heated rear window on the alternator light comes on,any ideas? Thanks
good morning, i'm thinking about buying a car like these but in a van. what is your feedback? what is the reliability? what are the expected consumptions? the car is from 2007 what problems can i expect? what are the chronic problems of this engine?
The parts are relatively cheap if you can do the work yourself. They are a nice car, I have a 2.2 Sovereign estate, but compared to a Volvo V70 I had before not in the same class. Would I buy one again after owning one for a while. No. Owning a Jag gives a sense of pride but it is not a better car than a Mondeo or pug 406 estate. If you do really want one, check it extensively for rust, even if you think it's not old enough to be rusty.
My jaguar x type 2002 2.5cc has a problem with one off start after cleaning the MAF sensor. How can this be resolved?
I'm having trouble with the Bonnet not locking on my x-type 2005 need help advice?? Thanks 👍
How can one injector failing cause the demise of another. Really?
Two ways. 1 is oil pressure problems, 2 is metal shavings.
On common rail systems if an injector leaks pressure drops the non of the others will work.
Hi, great video.I searched as I have an opportunity to pick up a 2008 2.0 L D with 80,000 miles on her. She has a full service history, was recently serviced and has an NCT (I’m in Ireland) for the next 12 months. The dealer is a friend and the mechanic out of their stock has recommended we go for this one. She looks great and it 4K euro which seems fair. We go and look at her tomorrow,any advice on what to look for and what to listen for on the test drive? Thanks in advance!! Peter
