Transmission Fluid Leaks - Cooler Hoses - Install Additional Hose Clamp

Issue:

In the event of customer complaints of fluid leaking from the transmission cooler pipes, a service fix has been implemented to cure the concern.

Action:

Vehicles within the above VIN range were produced with only one hose clamp fitted to the transmission cooler pipes, and may under certain

operating conditions leak transmission fluid. The following Workshop Procedure can be followed to remedy the concern:

WORKSHOP PROCEDURE

1. Raise vehicle on twin-post lift.

2000 Jaguar S-Type (X200) V6-3.0L Page 88

2. Remove radiator splash guard. (See Workshop Manual - JTIS CD ROM, Section 303-03 SRO 26.40.01 (steps 6 and 7.)

3. Loosen hose clamps on transmission cooler pipes (rubber to metal pipe connection).

4. Reposition hose clamps to end of rubber hose (Illustration 1).

5. Fully tighten hose clamps to 5 Nm.

Note:

Ensure worm drive does not chafe rubber hose.

6. Completely open new hose clamps and place around hoses.

7. Reposition hose clamps to area over cooler pipes and place alongside existing clamps (Illustration 2).

8. Fully tighten hose clamps to 5 Nm.

Note:

Ensure worm drive does not chafe rubber hose.

9. Clean any transmission fluid from surrounding area.

10. Reinstall radiator splash guard. (See Workshop Manual - JTIS CD-ROM, Section 303-03).

11. Lower the vehicle.

12. Ensure the PDU is connected to the base station and that the latest PDU CD-ROM (JTP 627/10) is installed in the CD drive.

Note:

The Datalogger function of the WDS can be used in place of the PDU to monitor transmission fluid temperature.

13. Switch on the PDU. Select "Diagnostics". Enter VIN and other vehicle details, i.e.: L#####.

14. Select "Toolbox". From the "Toolbox" menu select "Powertrain".

15. Connect the MPA and download cable to the PDU and base station. Allow the PDU to load. Select "Datalogger" from the menu.

16. Disconnect the PDU from the base station and transfer it to the vehicle.

17. Connect the PDU to the vehicle's data link connector.

18. With the J-Gate lever in the Park position - 'P', select "Enter" to start the "Datalogger".

19. Select "TOT2" - Transmission Oil Temperature feature from the menu.

20. The reading tolerance is from 80° F to 120° F (ideal temperature is 100° F). If the value is greater than 120° F the vehicle MUST be left to

cool down. If the value is less than 80° F then the vehicle must be driven slowly checking that the transmission oil temperature reading is

within the range specified. The target temperature when putting the vehicle on the lift is 90° F

21. Start the engine and verify that the transmission oil temperature is still within tolerance.

22. With the engine running and parking brake on move the J-Gate shifter through P-R- N-D-4-3-2 and back to P ensuring that Reverse and Drive

have been engaged on both occasions.

23. Engage Park and keep engine running. Immediately raise the lift (engine still running) and perform fluid level check.

24. Remove the hexagonal fill plug on the extension housing and remove the fluid level plug. The level plug is located within the hexagonal drain

plug on the underside of the transmission oil pan (Illustration 3).

Note:

The fill plug must also be removed to ensure an accurate reading.

25. Hold the hexagon of the oil drain plug to prevent it turning, using a 7/8" or 22 mm ring or open ended wrench, while removing the oil level

plug using a 3/16" AF Hexagon (Allen) drive bit.

26. The transmission may be either under-filled or overfilled from the nominal condition.

Underfilled: If a few drips are all that comes out then the transmission is underfilled - add oil via the fluid fill plug on the extension housing.

Use proper automatic transmission oil (as listed under Parts Information), adding no more than 250 ml at a time until the fluid drains out of the

fluid level plug in a continuous stream - replace the fluid level plug as soon as the stream starts to break up into drips.

Overfilled/slightly overfilled: Fluid should drain out in a continuous red stream - replace fluid level plug as soon as stream starts to break up

into drips. If more than 250 ml drains off then go to the extremely overfilled procedure.

Extremely overfilled: The fluid stream will appear almost pink rather than deep red as it drains and more than 250 ml of oil will be collected in

the container. When all of the excess oil has drained out replace the fluid level plug and switch off the engine for 30 minutes. By this time the

fluid in the container should be a deep red color. If it is not, wait for another 30 minutes. Restart the engine then remove the fluid level plug.

Add oil via the fluid fill plug on the extension housing. Adding no more than 250 ml at a time until the fluid drains in a continuous stream -

replace the fluid level plug as soon as the stream starts to break up into drips.

27. Replace fluid fill plug. Torque both the extension housing fluid fill plug to 20 Nm (14 lb. ft.) and the fluid level plug to 6 Nm (53 lb. in.).

28. Switch off engine.

29. Clean transmission fluid pan thoroughly.

Jaguar F-Type SVR Prices Announced, Bookings Open

Sportiest: The Jaguar F-Type SVR trim turns the dial up to eleven with a 575-hpsupercharged V-8, all-wheel drive and the engine’s staccato Spitfire-esque overrun. A 6-velocity handbook or an 8-velocity computerized transmission is accessible for rear-wheel-drive fashions; all-wheel drive could be added to P380 fashions with an automated transmission. The car is the only 2019 Jaguar F Type R 0 60 trim stage that may be had with a cool two-tone exterior colour scheme. That is the first laborious quantity the company has specified since investigations started in late 2014. Repairs won’t be completed until at the least September 2020 (in May, NHTSA set December 2019 as the top date). Various Corolla, Yaris/Vitz, Hilux, and Etios models built between May 2000 and November 2001 and between April 2006 and December 2014 have been recalled. Takata is slated to declare on December 31, 2016, that “a massive batch” of parts are defective, however GM needs a 365-day deferral to finish a protracted-term aging analysis examine with aerospace and defense manufacturer Orbital ATK.

Jaguar Land Rover says that “affected automobiles are being prioritized for repair—split into 4 separate phases—based on geographic zone and vehicle age” and that prospects will probably be notified by mail later this yr when components turn into accessible. As of right this moment, the rely stands at about 29 million vehicles with 46 million inflators. When Takata introduced ammonium-nitrate-based mostly airbag inflators within the late 1990s, Autoliv scientists studying Takata’s design decided the chemical compound was too dangerous. Integrating this function was only possible due to the design of the lightweight Inconel titanium exhaust system; utilizing two particular person rear silencers as an alternative of a single transverse silencer enabled the venturi to be neatly packaged between them. The car has a limited-slip differential which aids in maintaining the rear finish in check. The F-Pace SVR will get a specifically tuned chassis with upgraded shocks, growing spring rates by 30 and 10 p.c in the front and rear respectively.

If the appears to be like don't do it, just stand near a tunnel when the SVR is spitting and crackling like a wet log. For all its brimstone and velocity, you need to use the F-Type SVR as a each day-driver, too: in its Normal mode it’ll slink round pretty comfortably in a superb impression of a grand tourer. You can program the automotive to leave them up. If these studies are true, then the upcoming supercar will be the second mid-engined car within the brand’s 83-yr history. Update 9/19/2016, 11:00 a.m.: General Motors will submit a petition to NHTSA for a one-12 months deferral of a pending recall of some 980,000 trucks and SUVs outfitted with Takata-provided passenger-facet airbag inflators, Automotive News stories. Which could assist explain why General Motors switched from monthly gross sales experiences to quarterly sales reviews early this 12 months. Update 10/26/2016, 5:00 p.m.: Toyota has recalled one other 5.Eight million autos around the globe because they might contain defective Takata airbag inflators.

Vehicles from these fashions and mannequin years had been first recalled in May 2016; this action basically doubles the recalled inhabitants. Affected cars embrace Accord, Civic, and Fit fashions built between 2009 and 2011. In line with Reuters, that brings Honda’s recall whole to fifty one million Takata airbags. The recalls affects 2007-2011 Land Rover Range Rover and 2009-2011 Jaguar XF models for doubtlessly defective passenger-side airbag inflators. Update 9/9/2016, 9:00 a.m.:BMW announced it should recall some 110,000 automobiles in Japan to change probably defective Takata-equipped airbag inflators. Update 8/5/2016, 9:00 p.m.: Jaguar Land Rover has expanded its recall by one other 54,000 autos in the United States. Another spherical of cars—including Tesla merchandise, supercars from Ferrari and McLaren, and extra mannequin years of beforehand recalled models—have been added to our master list of automobiles plagued by the defective Takata inflators. They are: 2016 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter, 2016-2017 Mercedes-Benz E-class coupe/convertible, 2016 Ferrari FF, 2016-2017 Ferrari California T, 2016-2017 Ferrari 488GTB/488 Spider, 2016-2017 Ferrari F12/F12tdf, and 2017 Ferrari GTC4Lusso.
