Cool Introduction - Amber check engine light

Hi everyone - Im Bob from Jackson NJ.





I have already replaced my throttle body within 6 months of owning my 2005 S-Type - also had an electrical issue which shorted out the air conditioning module and replaced that - $6,000 later (my $4,000 extended warranty didn't cover), I now have the Amber engine malfunction light on. Since I really love my car - (other than hitting the pub), I wanted to get some feedback on this condition - it has started rough intermittently - otherwise has been running well. Thoughts ?

Welcome.

I suggest getting any codes that may be there, and posting those, and the query in the S Type section, where answers will flow.

Hello, Robert,
I have recently had occasion to carefully study Extended Warranties, and most of them cover ONLY engine and transmission; "anything touched by 'oil'." I'm sorry you got bitten by one.

Welcome to the forums from ElinorB.

Welcome to the forum Bob,

Good to have you with us at Jaguar forums.

Get the codes read before you spend another $!

Follow Norri's link in post #5 to the S-Type forum for help, advice and information.
The 'HOW TO' thread at the top is a good place to start for info on regular issues.

Please remember to add vehicle details to your Signature to help others to give relevant advice. Go to the User CP button on the left of the top menu bar, then Settings & Options under Your Control Panel. Select Edit Signature and enter the details.

Enjoy the forums.

Graham
