Why does the check engine light in my XJR turn on when I start my car?

Generally, your check engine light turning on upon ignition is not a bad thing. This is just your XJR testing its circuits. The light should turn off in a bit, but come see us if it doesn't.

Why does my Jaguar engine sound different?

Strange engine sounds can be a sign something’s off in your Jaguar XJR. Tapping or knocking could mean you're low on oil. Whistling could mean a belt is misaligned or there's an intake leak. Squealing may be caused by a loose fan belt, and grinding could be a sign that something is wrong with your brakes — not the engine.

What could damage my Jaguar XJR engine?

Certain driving habits can hurt your engine. These habits include driving on an empty fuel tank, revving the engine while still in Park, or pushing 'the pedal to the metal' before the engine has warmed up. Help sustain your engine’s performance and efficiency by staying miles away from these bad driving practices.

Can I put water in my Jaguar XJR radiator?

An emergency is the only time you should consider putting water in your radiator. Outside of that, it’s recommended you use a pre-mixed coolant or a 50/50 blend of water and coolant. However, if you need to continue driving your XJR when you’re out of coolant, having water in the coolant reservoir is better than nothing.

What could cause my XJR engine to suddenly stop?

Reasons your XJR car engine may suddenly stop include engine overheating, electrical troubles, mechanical issues, ignition system problems, faulty sensors, and low fuel.
