How does Jaguar drivetrain maintenance help save money?

Servicing the drivetrain system can help you save money by saving other parts of your vehicle. A bad drivetrain can put undue stress on other vehicle parts and lead to premature wear and tear.

What are signs my Jaguar drivetrain is damaged?

Your Jaguar S-Type drivetrain might be damaged if you notice strange noises from the rear of your vehicle, see fluid leaking, or have issues turning.

How often will I need Jaguar S-Type differential service?

Double check your owner’s manual and talk with a technician. Differential service frequency varies from car to car. At a minimum, we recommend getting your differential inspected and the differential fluid changed as a part of your regular vehicle maintenance routine since your vehicle cannot function without a differential.

Why is my S-Type malfunction indicator light (MIL) on?

The malfunction indicator light — also known as the check engine light — on your S-Type can illuminate for a variety of reasons, including engine issues, electrical problems, damaged sensors, transmission problems, misfires, and faulty connections.

Can you reset your S-Type’s malfunction warning light at home?

Resetting a malfunction warning light at home may be possible sometimes, but it is never recommended. The check engine light is commonly triggered by a misfire, fault or malfunction in one of the vehicle's systems. It is important to identify and fix the underlying problem to ensure the safety and reliability of the vehicle. Resetting the check engine light without addressing the underlying issue may temporarily remove the warning, but it will not fix the root cause of the problem.

How concerning is a drivetrain malfunction in my S-Type?

Don't ignore a drivetrain malfunction in your S-Type. As soon as you notice a problem, have it checked by a professional mechanic to diagnose the issue and carry out any necessary repairs. Driving with a faulty drivetrain is risky and may further damage your S-Type.

Does my S-Type transmission belong to the drivetrain system?

Yes, the transmission is an essential part of your S-Type’s drivetrain. The drivetrain consists of components — like the transmission — that transfer power from the engine to the wheels to move your S-Type forward. Other components in the driver train include the axles, differential, and driveshaft.

What Does the Drivetrain Do In Your 2001 Jaguar S-Type

Your S-Type’s drivetrain has a very important job. It transmits power from the engine to the wheels. It runs the full length of your Jaguar, from the axles to the transmission. It’s a very intricate system of moving parts and is comprised of everything after the engine transmission: differentials, driveshafts, joints, axles, and wheels. When you maintain the drivetrain in your 2001 Jaguar S-Type, you help maintain your vehicle's power. Follow Jaguar's recommendations for lubricating bearings/gears and checking/changing differential fluids to minimize repairs over time.

When to Get Jaguar S-Type Drivetrain Repairs

Drivetrains for front, rear, and all-wheel-drive and 4WD vehicles are not all the same. You don't want to go to any random shop for drivetrain repair. You want to visit Firestone Complete Auto Care. We can take care of most 2001 Jaguar S-Type drivetrain components including the CV joints, CV axles, and driveshaft. Your S-Type might need driveshaft repair if you notice heavy vibrations in your floorboards, clunks when shifting, resistance when turning, or vibration as your vehicle accelerates. It’s difficult to nail down a timeline for drivetrain repair. The system's pieces and parts don't necessarily have a "shelf life." So much depends on the climate and your driving style. That’s one reason it’s a wise idea to visit Firestone Complete Auto Care at the first sign your Jaguar S-Type doesn’t drive like it used to.

Is normal to wonder whether or not 2001 Jaguar S-Type drivetrain repair is expensive. Again, it depends! Some more minor differential repairs, like gasket or seal replacement, can lean toward being more affordable. Major repairs, like bearing or gear replacement, require more labor and can therefore be more expensive.
