S-type 2000 V8
 

hi folks !

i bought an 2000 S-type V8 two weeks back.I am a first time jaguar user and i am learning a lot from this site.

Since yesterday had engine light, gearbox fault message with engine restriction performance. so i took it to the dealer and found these codes first.

P0713
P0731
P0732
P0735
P0743
P0750
P0755
P0760
P0779
P0796
P0797
P0799
P1000
P1577
P1577
P1714
P1746
P1747
P1760
P1788
P1789

then after reseting the codes these codes appeared again

P1000
P0796
P1746
P1788

According to the dealers advice i need to 'replace' urgently

-transmission
-timing chain tensioners

the drive is horrible so i have managed to crawl the cat back in the garage safely.

my question is about the transmission and should i..

get it rebuild ? or just get it replaced from the dealer ?

or is there anyother way to deal with this issue perhaps other jag specialist in Toronto area who can do the job ?

please advice.

thank you,

troubled s-type user

I know the transmission is just a Ford 5R55N box. It can be rebuilt by any competant shop.
Why did they tell you timing chains?

RE: S-type 2000 V8

Genuis. When I look at your avatar I want to throw up. Looks to much like what I had laying in my bay the last two days.....lol

RE: S-type 2000 V8
 

2 days?? wiring harness or heads? i am tempting totake a engine and trani like that and make it into a coffee table lol!

RE: S-type 2000 V8
 

and sorry forgot to mention, the traction control light keeps flashing after the dealer resetted the codes, so i took it back to the dealer and was told by the tech that it was there from before along with other bunch of lights (which is not true). so after complaining, the service manager wants me to bring it in again to check and fix it.


has anyone experienced this problem ?

RE: S-type 2000 V8
 

if it's the shooting snail light .. then it probably just needs the abs module to be reprogrammed

RE: S-type 2000 V8
 

Wiring harness bud. Drove car home tonight. Seems to be ok. No op code for the harness on s/c 4.2, what a lot of work. I have done the n/a harness in vehicle, but no way I was gonna do the s/c one like that.
Coffee table.....I like it. Put two face to face a couple feet apart with a nice piece of glass on it.

RE: S-type 2000 V8
 

so i guess you can make up how long it takes... luckly the hole thing falls out smoothly for what failure you replaced the harness for?

RE: S-type 2000 V8
 

P0333 code. Bad splice. THL could only tell me it was 700mm from ECM. I told them I am replacing harness as there is a dozen different harness things go in there 700mm from ECM.

Hooked up meter to monitor voltage drop on ground side of knock sensor. Left it recording min/max and when restricted perf. light came on, ground side spiked to 2.16Volts.

RE: S-type 2000 V8
 

well the harness do go to the cheapest bidder to build.. lol more money for us.

RE: S-type 2000 V8
 

Sounds good to me. I wonder how them Indian harnesses are going to hold up?

RE: S-type 2000 V8
 

lol i really hope it doesnt get sold ..

RE: S-type 2000 V8
 

to be precise second chain tensioners.. cause from the rattling sound

RE: S-type 2000 V8
 

thanks, i think then thats what they(the dealership) should be fixing it in the first place after resetting.

RE: S-type 2000 V8
 

so transmission replacement is not necessarily required if these selonoids are fixed ?

appreciate your offer

RE: S-type 2000 V8
 

no these codes set when the solenoid switch fails ..
