I want to replace the hoses in my 2008 jaguar xj8, the numbers on the hoses don't seem to be the part numbers and I'm having a hard time finding a diagram online.

 

You can work with the parts specialist at your local dealer to obtain the part numbers, or you can search the EPC for yourself. There are numerous hoses needed from various sections of the EPC.

You'll need radiator section, overflow tank section, heater hose section, EGR and throttle body section. Also replace thermostat housing complete and water pump. Auxiliary heater pump as well. Use only OAT coolant.

 

Hi Stephen,

As David suggests, finding all the correct parts yourself is quite an undertaking. In addition to your local Jaguar dealership, the independent Jaguar parts specialists can probably help. Try our forum sponsors SNG Barratt, Coventry West and JagBits.

You can search parts at jaguarmerriamparts.com and gaudinjaguarparts.com, or as David suggests, you can download and install the Jaguar Electronic Parts Catalog (EPC) from this forum. Just follow the instructions at the link below. Be sure to read some of the newer posts in the thread with updated information that will help you avoid installation difficulties:
