Thanks for this video. Before it got too dark I'd undone everything but struggling to get it passed the servo. Came inside, found your video! Hopefully will get it out tomorrow. Thanks for making the video!
Hi , I don't know if you remember me I commented on your trans service for the zf6hp26 . I have 2003 s type r. You'll be glad to here the car is running and driving like new ! My only problem ? After all the complicated parts I replaced I don't remember what wiper arm went where 🤣. Can't find any diagrams . Also the wipers aren't working. Fuse is good relay also . Thanks again Mike
Hi Mike - yes I do remember you. Good to see you are still an S Type owner. To answer your wiper arm question - the long arm goes on the passenger side - short arm goes on the driver side. Regarding the wipers not working - this is difficult to diagnose remotely and the fault could lie anywhere in the circuit from the column stalk thru connectors to the wiper motor itself. The only thing I can suggest is a "process of elimination" approach where each component in the circuit is checked including switches, connectors and wiring. Use a multimeter to speed things up though. Don't forget that on Jag switched components both sides of the connection will be + vdc until operated when the electronics will change one side to - vdc. Sorry I can't be of more help just now. Cheers Brian
thanks for the video, really great, because you uploaded this, it gave me the confidence to tackle my seized wipers on my 2004 s type just completed it..... bit scarey but watching them work again ,after a bit of effort and no cost.... fantastic thanks again :)
Great video. Many thanks. It’s really helpfull. My 2001 has the same problem. The most screws stuck. The coolage reservoir, the Wiper Motor, the Strut and the brake booster obstruct each other like a quartet of horror. Very less space. Everywhere. All in All I needed 4 Hours for everything. The most time eating part was loosing the old screws
@@riskfreesolutionsforbusinessyes i remember. I don’t want to remember but i can confirm it clearly. Not complete undo, but so far that you can move the brake booster as far as you can pull out the wiper mechanism. Maybe need some attempts
@@TassiloSGruebel lol . did you manage get on all 4 nuts without taking dash out ive took that small panel under steering wheel off but can only get at 2 of the nuts . did you just use ordinary socket ?
Hello , did you have to undo ALL 4 nuts for the servo release behind the dash on the film just shows you doing the one along with the white centre one.???? please
Hi guys, do you have any advice about re-aligning the wiper arms afterwards? I changed wipers in my S-type and now the driver's side arm is banging on the hood :(
@@jaaagtv Hi, I changed the wiper blades only, but I think I found the issue. The wiper motor is a bit wonky and doesn't push the arm as much as it should. I think the guy who was changing the windscreen used a hammer to take the wiper blade arm off and misaligned the wiper motor. Ugh.
Great video! What are the chances you can help me find the brake booster retaining nut on a 2000 Jaguar S-type 4.0 left hand drive? (Canada) I have the 4 brake booster bolts let go like shown in the video, cotter pin and pin removed from the brake pedal arm to the booster piston. I don't seem to have the white plastic retaining nut like your STR. I simply can't find this brake booster retaining nut, it even references it in the jaguar manual I have....any help would be appreciated! Cheers.
@@jaaagtv Yes sir, I can tell the brake booster is still held in place, it's definitely loose from the 4 main nuts being let go behind the pedal. Just need to shimmy it out a bit to remove they wiper motor and linkage. Thanks!
@@unpredictable1 Okay - You should only need to release the four booster retaining nuts and "back off" the push rod adjuster to allow the booster unit to move forward into the engine bay. Sorry I'm not too clear why you are unable to do this.
@@jaaagtv It could be that it's just never been removed and maybe sticking? When you say back off the push rod adjuster, is that rod the one I let go the cotter pin and removed the pin that attaches the booster to the brake pedal arm? It's the piston/shaft that goes through the firewall and into the brake booster...hopefully I'm not sounding too confusing! I sincerely appreciate this help. Cheers
@@unpredictable1 Yes - that's it. Basically the rod that connects the brake pedal arm to the booster through the bulkhead. It could be as you say "sticking". Loosen off the four booster retaining nuts (as you have done) and gently lever the booster body away from the bulkhead. I can't see where else it can be catching.
I have a 2003 Jaguar STR... I keep receiving a message stating Restricted Engine Performance. When driving for a while over 40mph it seems to go away. If i stop at a light to long the message reappear. Ive had the codes reed an it states Pcv Valve and hose to lean. Ive changed both but still getting the same message. Any idea what it could be????
Hi, I have to admit that I haven't had any experience with PCV faults. However if you say that you have replaced both valves you may still have a vacuum leak somewhere in the system. Did you clear the fault codes from the ECU? Sorry I cant be more helpful. However there is a wide range of information on Jaguar forums. Brian "The Old Man" - JagTV
+Jag TV Ive also been told that my Trans pan is leaking. The Dealer wants 907$ to fix thats parts and labor. Ive found the Trans pan online for 103$. Ive seen your video an it doesnt look like 900$ worth of work, or am i wrong
Nick243120 Hi The OEM ZF Transmission service kit is circa £200 here in the UK. The kit includes the oil pan, filter, ATF and uprated pan Torx bolts. It also comes with a new TCC Sleeve and seals. Labour can vary depending on how many pan bolts break on removal. However should normally take around 90 minutes. Brian "The Old Man" - JagTV
Hi, You may find these two links useful in helping to diagnose your vacuum leak. www.jaguarforums.com/forum/s-type-s-type-r-supercharged-v8-x200-15/vacuum-leak-fix-pics-resolved-145384/ www.jaguarforums.com/forum/s-type-s-type-r-supercharged-v8-x200-15/2005-3-0-v6-color-coded-vacuum-lines-w-pics-faq-52720/ Brian "The Old Man" - JagTV
The brake servo/booster has to be loosened and moved forward slightly to allow clearance for the assembly to be removed. The booster retaining nuts are accessed under the steering inside the car.
Hi Nigel - If your existing steering wheel doesn't have the audio and cruise control switches (as I don't think it has) then it is unlikely that you will be able to retro-fit the facelift variant as the wiring harness (clock spring/squib) won't be there and there would likely be an issue with the air bag terminations. Have a trawl through the Jaguar Owners forums as there may be someone on there that has tried the upgrade.

Hi - many thanks for your comments. Glad you found it useful. Yes the bolts on the bracing strut can be a challenge.
can you remember wheather you had to undo all 4 nuts behind brake peddle to release servo??
@@riskfreesolutionsforbusinessyes i remember. I don’t want to remember but i can confirm it clearly. Not complete undo, but so far that you can move the brake booster as far as you can pull out the wiper mechanism. Maybe need some attempts

Don’t need to take the dash out. The nuts are in fact under the dash behind the pedal. You need definitely long sockets.

Nice job , love the STR , im getting one soon.
Hi,
Thank you - you'll love the STR. Let us know when you get one.

One more pick of the brain. 😁
I don’t have steering wheel controls for the stereo etc. is it possible to fit?
Many thanks and great channel.
What car, model and year do you have?
hello, where can I buy the brushes that incorporate the water dispensers for a 2005 jaguar s-type?
That’s great. Thank you
does anybody know if youve got limp mode /restricted prformance it says so on the dash if so does it say restricted performance?
Hello , did you have to undo ALL 4 nuts for the servo release behind the dash on the film just shows you doing the one along with the white centre one.???? please
ok i now know the answear is yes but right now im struggling to see how you get at two of those nuts very very limited space, ????
what socket did you use to access the top 2 nuts please ??

What was the point of going under the steering wheel to loosen the motor ?
The brake servo/booster has to be loosened and moved forward slightly to allow clearance for the assembly to be removed. The booster retaining nuts are accessed under the steering inside the car.
