im doing the passenger side bank (U.S)
eventually got that rubber shield out....what a pain.
disconnected all the vacuum and coolant lines.
unplugged the coil plugs.
disconnected the 4 wiring loom connectors at the front of the engine.
unclipped the 3 clips to move the wiring loom out of the way.
now is where the problem is, i cant move the wiring loom because
i think i need to remove the 3 injector wiring plugs, but they look very difficult to get to, and even more difficult to re-attach if im even able to get them off.
anyone run into this?....any advice on how to proceed?.... id hate to give up at this point but i also dont want to end up with a disabled car in the driveway, i already got the drivers side done.

 

Knowing all that is why I paid the dealer $1000 to change the 6 plugs on my car ... ;-)

thats all well and good but not all jaguar owners have jaguar wallets which is kinda the purpose of these various forums 😜

 

turned out it was really easy to do the passenger side, just had to remove a few bolts and other pieces and had full access to all 3 coils...i'll make a separate thread as there is not any on the internet which deal with this engine in this body....
the XF, XE and F type share an engine but the videos showing XE and F type are different and much easier than the XF.
PAB.... let me know when you next need them done, i'll only charge $750😜😜😂😂

 

look at all that room!

 

It's super easy to change plugs on a Range Rover Sport with the same engine. I could never get it done on the XF.

 

its laughably easy considering every post says its impossible, i could likely do it in 30 minutes now

DEAL!!

So welcome to the machine

 

You can change all the plugs in 30 mins on the XF now? It so, that’s impressive.

 

lets be fair now...30 minutes per side!
passenger side is now the easier side!

 

removing this piece is the key....it looks like a lot of work but it only involves removing 8 easy to access 10mm bolts.
(and 3 of those are the fuse box bolts which allows you to swing that out of the way too)
the benefit of this is method is the rubber/foam piece which is normally difficult to install, is really easy and just pops in place
