Hi,

I've got a noisy timing chain tensioner and possibly vvt sprocket on my xkr v8 2007-ouch!
Jag agent wanting to charge a couple of grand so I was looking at some alternatives. One was doing it myself and I wanted to look through a manual to check out any special tools and procedures.
Can anyone help with one of these?
Anto

 

Welcome to the forum,

Good to have you with us.
A 2007? That's unusual, I think topix is almost the only place, you have to pay but can download/print what you need.

You should add your car details to your signature to help others to help you.

 

I am looking for the 2002 XKR manual also. There are bits and pieces if you search for jaguar and PDF. I never have found a free manual download though.

 

Hey there Anto and welcome to Jaguarforums, good to have you here with us

I just had this done under (extended) warranty. Jaguar first thought that it was the timing chain tensioners, so they replaced them, but the sound didn't go away. So they then replaced the VVT actuators and the problem got fixed.

It took the jaguar mechanic two days to get the VVT actuators back in. So it seems a pretty big job...

Greg,

You have a different model to Anto.

The Workshop manual for your model is JTIS (Jaguar Technical Information System) which is available as a free download from the forum.

Check the 'stickies' in General Tech Help section for download and installation instructions.
