Can Jaguar service save me 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 the symptoms of a damaged Jaguar drivetrain system?

Noises toward the back of your Jaguar Vanden Plas, leaking fluid, trouble turning — these could all be signs of drivetrain damage you want to address. Take action before something more severe happens.

How often will I need Jaguar Vanden Plas 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 Vanden Plas malfunction indicator light (MIL) on?

A multitude of problems can activate your Vanden Plas’s malfunction indicator light (better known as the check engine light), including issues with the engine, transmission, sensors, electrical system, or connectors.

Is it possible to reset the Vanden Plas malfunction warning light on my own?

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 Vanden Plas'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 Vanden Plas.

How concerning is a drivetrain malfunction in my Vanden Plas?

Don't ignore a drivetrain malfunction in your Vanden Plas. 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 Vanden Plas.

Is my Vanden Plas’s transmission part of the drivetrain?

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

All About 1987 Jaguar Vanden Plas Drivetrain Service

Your Vanden Plas drivetrain transfers power from your engine to the wheels. It spans the full length of your Jaguar, from back to front. It's one of the most complex systems in your Vanden Plas and is made up of everything after the engine transmission: differentials, driveshafts, joints, axles, and wheels. When you maintain the drivetrain in your 1987 Jaguar Vanden Plas, 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 Vanden Plas Drivetrain Repairs

You don't want to go to just anyone for drivetrain repair. Drivetrains for front, rear, and all-wheel-drive and 4WD vehicles are all different. You want to go to Firestone Complete Auto Care. We can help repair all of your 1987 Jaguar Vanden Plas drivetrain components including the driveshaft, CV axles, and CV joints. Your Vanden Plas might need driveshaft repair if you notice clunks when shifting, vibration as your vehicle accelerates, resistance when turning, or heavy vibrations in your floorboards. It’s difficult to nail down a timeline for drivetrain repair. The system’s parts and pieces don’t have a set expiration date. A lot depends on your driving style and climate. That’s one reason it’s a wise idea to visit Firestone Complete Auto Care at the first sign your Jaguar Vanden Plas doesn’t drive like it used to.

You might be wondering: how much will it cost to fix the drivetrain in your 1987 Jaguar Vanden Plas? Some smaller differential fixes, like gasket or seal replacement, can lean toward being more affordable.
