I had a 2002 S-type and I removed the upper and lower manifold, to change the spark plugs and coils, and the vacuum elbow that loves to cause vacuum leaks. The article is on the link with pics. Best of luck!

Jaguar HELP!: Intake manifold in a 2002 S-type 3.0L

 

Thanks daxter, I'm going to add this to the FAQs, people are always wondering about the famous elbow.

 

Thanks for sharing Daxter.......your adding to your FAQ collection, nice one

 

Good article & pics!

Might want to change "Ransom" to "Random"

 

ups... fixed lol

 

Was this the late 02 model?

 

Daxter, the "Also, the two bolts in the back hold this weird almost pointless black bracket that surrounds the regulator" is NOT pointless! That bracket protects the fuel regulator and in a collision if for some reason something hits and snaps of the fuel regulator, it quite possibly would not be a pretty sight....POOF time to roast some marshmellows!

Thanks for sharing

 

Thing you need to know is that a UK late 02 is a USA 03. We got them (the major redesign) as 2002.5MY but they got them as 2003MY.

So, see what he says but given the 2 cylinders are next to each other I think you'll find his was the original (1999-2002) car. (On the 2002.5MY car cyls 1 & 2 are in different banks, unlike in the original car.)

When you get a few more posts it's worth grabbing the PDFs from the FAQs - such as the Vehicle Specifications one. It includes things like cylinder layouts.

 

Just for my own edification, how much does the intake manifold weigh approximately?

 

barely 10lb (rough) the car left already and i honestly dont remember... but its just uncomfortable to pick up not heavy...

u r right about the bracket its important in that matter...

early 2002

 

For a 2000 model it takes 2 upper and 2 lower gaskets instead of 12 individual ones, FEL Pro lower number is MS 96475, haven't found upper ones yet, I got lowers from Rock Auto.
