When should I come in for Jaguar Vanden Plas differential service?

Double check your owner’s manual and talk with a technician. Differential service frequency varies from car to car.

Why is the malfunction indicator light (MIL) on in my Vanden Plas?

Can my Vanden Plas malfunction warning light be reset 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.

Does my Vanden Plas transmission belong to the drivetrain system?

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.
