Can Jaguar service save me money?

How do I know if my Jaguar drivetrain is damaged?

Hear noises toward the back of your Jaguar Vanden Plas? See fluid leaking? Having issues turning? These could all be signs of drivetrain damage you don't want to ignore. Take action quickly to catch repairs or replacements before something more severe happens.

How often 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. 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?

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

Can my Vanden Plas malfunction warning light be reset 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 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 worried should I be about 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.

Does my Vanden Plas drivetrain include the transmission?

Yes, the drivetrain system in your Vanden Plas 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 Vanden Plas forward.
