I recently purchased an 02 Jaguar X-Type 3.0 from a car auction. When I drove off with the vehicle, i noticed the car had an engine light on. Half way down the street i noticed it started flashing gearbox fault light on the dashboard. Once I got the vehicle home, We used an OBDII scanner to diagnose the issues. Upon scanning the car, it showed many codes such as p0057, p0735, p1582, p0304, p1314, p1316! I became immediatley discouarged!! I took the vehicle to a shop because I knew the owner thru my place of work. He began to lay the bad news on me and he said besides a basic tune up which would be close to 500, It would also need a new transmission. I drove the car home and began doing research on the vehicle. I began to try and address the issues that were in my control, such as a drain and fill of transmission fluid and I replaced the o2 sensor in the Bank 2 lower 2. Once we did that, the issues that are still showing are the Gearbox fault light on the dash and the engine light will show once i drive the vehicle. We plugged the scanner back in and the only code that shows now is that P0735 which is a gear 5 incorrect ratio. From my research here on the forum, Ive noticed nothing good comes from that code. From what i gathered, They all recommend replacing the transmission..... At this point, I really do NOT want to replace that transmission, what shall I do?!?!

Sidebar, I have noticed there is a click noise that sounds every time I release my foot from the brake pedal... I have gathered that it is just an annoyance instead of an actual issue. I have also gathered the J gear shifter could be an issue that can cause the gear box fault light to show... As you can see I am really stuck in between a rock and a hard place!! Please give me some advise as the vehicle needs to be registered by this month and I am pretty sure I will need to complete a smog check as well.

OOPS

I assume an AUTO trans??. If so, maybe a few (4) drop and refills will help, maybe not, did with mine.

The X Type (X400) Tech Section will have better, and more, answers.

Good luck.

Hello,
I'm sorry your new Jaguar has turned out to be such a disappointment. I hope you can get most of these problems resolved relatively simply.
