Can Jaguar drivetrain maintenance help me save money?

Yes, sometimes it can. First, servicing the drivetrain system can help you avoid more significant repairs. It can also somewhat reduce tire wear.

How do I know if my Jaguar drivetrain is damaged?

Noises toward the back of your Jaguar XK8, leaking fluid, trouble turning — these could all be signs of drivetrain damage you want to address. Take action before something more severe happens.

How often should I come in for Jaguar XK8 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.

Why is the malfunction indicator light (MIL) on in my XK8?

A multitude of problems can activate your XK8’s malfunction indicator light (better known as the check engine light), including issues with the engine, transmission, sensors, electrical system, or connectors.

Can you reset your XK8’s malfunction warning light 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.

How serious is a drivetrain malfunction in my XK8?

Don't ignore a drivetrain malfunction in your XK8. 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 XK8.

Is the transmission considered part of the drivetrain in my XK8?

Yes, the drivetrain system in your XK8 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 XK8 forward.

2000 Jaguar XK8 Drivetrain Service

Your XK8’s drivetrain has a very important job. It transmits power from the engine to the wheels. It spans the full length of your Jaguar, from back to front. It's one of the most complex systems in your XK8 and is made up of everything after the engine transmission: axles, wheels, driveshafts, differentials, and joints. Care for your 2000 Jaguar XK8 to maintain its performance power. Follow Jaguar's recommendations for lubricating bearings/gears and checking/changing differential fluids to minimize repairs over time.

Jaguar XK8 Drivetrain Repairs

Drivetrains for front, rear, and all-wheel-drive and 4WD vehicles are quite different, so you don't want to go to just anyone for drivetrain repair. You want to visit Firestone Complete Auto Care. We can help repair all of your 2000 Jaguar XK8 drivetrain components including the CV joints, CV axles, and driveshaft. Your Jaguar XK8 may need driveshaft attention if you feel heavy vibrations in your floorboards, clunks when shifting, resistance when turning, or vibration as your vehicle accelerates. It's hard to put a timeframe on drivetrain repair. The system’s parts and pieces don’t have a set expiration date. Your driving style and climate can have a lot to do with how the drivetrain system ages. Your best bet is to visit Firestone Complete Auto Care when you first notice a problem with how your Jaguar XK8 drives.

How much does it cost to fix your 2000 Jaguar XK8 drivetrain? Again, it depends! Some more minor differential repairs, like gasket or seal replacement, can fall in the more affordable category. But bigger repairs, like gear or bearing replacement, can sometimes be more expensive since they’re more labor intensive.
