Ok so I also have a squeal in my steering wheel when I turn in either direction. It almost sounds like a cable being pulled. I think it has something to do with the power steering. Just wondering if any other jags out there have experienced this and if so what was the culprit?

 

Its usually the bushes that have dried out in the steering column
The FAQ at the top of the page have answers to a lot of questions including yours https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/s...ead.php?t=2880

 

Thanks again! all those FAQs have helped tremendously. im fixing up all the little annoyances on my baby with all this helpful stuff. Thank you!

 

I just turn the radio up.

 

UPDATE!
Dealer fixed today, cost total of $80 fluid and labor. Well worth it in my opinion!

 

glad you got it sorted jnudes

 

Jaguar issued a Service Bulliten on this awhile back. The fix done at the dealership was to use an additive in the power steering fluid. It required a drain of the system and addition of new fluid plus the additive.

I had mine done under warranty or it would have not been touched by unfamiliar hands ( meaning mine ). I am uncertain if this would be covered at no charge if not under warranty.

Strange how your dealer drained all the fluid?
The OFFICIAL TSB as issued by Jag clearly shows that only 50ml of fluid must be removed then replenished with the 50ml of additive added (ie no complete draining required).
Only reason to drain fluid as far as I can see is if there is another issue with it ie contaminated.

 

Buck, the dealer also replaced the entire fluid. They had actually told me there was no difference in cost between changing the whole fluid and just putting in the additive. works for me.

 

So your dealer gives out free fluid.
Whats their details so I can order a couple of gallons?
