What are the symptoms of a damaged Jaguar drivetrain system?

Hear noises toward the back of your Jaguar XJS? 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.

When should I come in for Jaguar XJS differential service?

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

What causes a XJS’s malfunction indicator light (MIL) to illuminate?

Engine problems, transmission problems, faulty sensors, electrical issues, misfire issues, and connector problems could all cause your XJS’s malfunction warning light, or better known as the check engine light, to illuminate.

Can you clear the XJS check engine light on your own?

While it’s sometimes possible to clear a malfunction warning light at home, it’s never recommended. If your XJS’s check engine light comes on, it’s usually because there is a problem in one of the vehicle’s systems. You should find and address the underlying issue to help keep your vehicle in great shape. By simply resetting the check engine light, you may temporarily get rid of the light, but the underlying problem is still there. It will only be a matter of time before the light comes back.

How concerning is a drivetrain malfunction in my XJS?

If your XJS has a drivetrain malfunction, don't wait. Get it checked out by a professional mechanic. Identifying the underlying cause and performing the appropriate repairs right away can help prevent further damage and avoid unsafe driving conditions.

Is the transmission considered part of the drivetrain in my XJS?

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