2008 Jaguar Vanden Plas Questions & Answers

  • Is it bad to ride the brakes in your Jaguar? Riding the brakes (keeping your foot lightly pressed on the brake pedal for a long time) can lead to transmission issues over time. Pay attention to how often you apply your brake and use engine braking when possible.
  • What can I tow in a Jaguar? Think twice before volunteering to tow a moving trailer, no matter how small it is. The added load can mess with your transmission system if it exceeds your Vanden Plas’s towing capacity. Check your owner's manual to ensure you have the proper towing setup and aren't going over your towing capacity.
  • How often does my Vanden Plas transmission fluid need to be checked? Caring for your Jaguar Vanden Plas’s transmission fluid is a great way to help it perform. About every 30,000 to 60,000 miles is a good timeframe for having your transmission fluid inspected and perhaps changed. Service intervals can vary depending on how you use your Jaguar, so check with your technician first. The good news is that transmission fluid leaks are affordable to repair and easy to spot.
  • Can Jaguar Vanden Plas transmission fluid leak? Over time, transmission fluid can leak from your Jaguar Vanden Plas, potentially causing transmission problems.

You might even experience transmission failure.
