How does Jaguar drivetrain maintenance help save money?

Yes, sometimes it can. First, servicing the drivetrain system can help you avoid more significant repairs. It can also somewhat reduce tire wear.

How do I know if 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.

When should I come in for Jaguar S-Type differential service?

We recommend getting your differential inspected and the differential fluid changed as a part of your regular vehicle maintenance routine. Your vehicle cannot function without a differential. Differential service frequency varies from car to car.

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

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?

While resetting a malfunction warning light at home is technically possible, doing so is not advisable. The check engine light is typically a sign of a problem in one of your S-Type's systems, and simply resetting the light will not address the underlying issue. Instead, you should bring your vehicle to a reliable auto shop to have the underlying problem identified and fixed to help ensure the safety and reliability of your S-Type.

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

A drivetrain malfunction in your S-Type should never be taken lightly. Driving with a malfunctioning drivetrain can put you in danger and lead to further vehicle damage, so it's essential to have a qualified mechanic assess and repair the problem as soon as possible.

Is my S-Type’s transmission part of the drivetrain?

Yes, the drivetrain system in your S-Type includes the transmission. Other components in the drivetrain are the driveshaft, axles, and differential. Together, these components deliver power from the engine to the wheels to push your S-Type forward.

2005 Jaguar S-Type Drivetrain Service

The drivetrain is responsible for transferring power from your S-Type's engine to its wheels. It runs the full length of your Jaguar, from the axles to the transmission. It’s one of your S-Type’s most complex systems and includes everything after the engine transmission: driveshafts, axles, joints, differentials, and wheels. When you maintain the drivetrain in your 2005 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.

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.

You might be wondering: how much will it cost to fix the drivetrain in your 2005 Jaguar S-Type? Again, it depends!
