Loss of Engine Performance - Low Fuel Pressure - Replace Fuel Delivery Module Hose - Service Action S144

Remove and destroy Bulletin S310-01, dated 12/99. Replace with this Bulletin. This repair is now a Service Action.

Issue:

On some 2000 MY S-TYPE vehicles within the above VIN range, additives in certain fuel blends may lead to premature failure of a hose that is part

of the fuel delivery module (the main pump assembly) located in the right side of the fuel tank. The hose concerned connects the pump outlet to an

in-line filter. Hose failure may lead to abnormally low pressure in the fuel system, with a resulting loss of engine performance. A hose manufactured

from a different material entered production from VIN L27500.

Action:

On all 2000 MY S-TYPE vehicles within the above VIN range, replace the existing hose with one manufactured from a different material, as used in

production from VIN L27500.

Warning:

During the following operations, observe all appropriate safety precautions when working on an open fuel tank and fuel system. Minor fuel

dripping or fuel spillage is inevitable as the fuel delivery module is removed from the fuel tank.

To replace the hose:

1. Refer to Technical Bulletin S414-01 to record customer preferences. Disconnect the battery

Warning:

2000 Jaguar S-Type (X200) V6-3.0L Page 106

After the battery has been disconnected, wait for one minute for the air bag system to disarm.

2. Remove the rear seat cushion.

3. Remove the right access plug to the fuel tank.

4. Protect the area of the rear seat back, seat cushion pan and floor carpet with clean plastic sheeting.

5. Disconnect the electrical connections from the fuel delivery module.

6. Depress the lock buttons to release the hose connections and disconnect them from the fuel delivery module.

7. Use special tool J310-169 (Fuel tank sender unit wrench) to release and remove the fuel delivery module retaining ring. Discard the gasket.

8. Have available a clean container into which the fuel delivery module may be placed immediately following its removal from the fuel tank, to

minimize fuel dripping or spillage.

9. Place shop cloths around the opening in the seat pan to absorb fuel drips or spillage.

Have more clean cloths available to allow fuel drips to be mopped up immediately

10. Release and carefully withdraw the fuel delivery module from the fuel tank, taking great care not to damage the fuel level sender arm and

float. It may be necessary to cut and remove the tie-strap, which retains the filter to the pump body, to allow the fuel delivery module to be

removed. There are illustrations of these operations in JTIS, SRO 19.45.07.

Note:

Fuel drips or spillage will be inevitable.

11. Immediately place the fuel delivery module into the clean container to minimize drips within the vehicle, and remove the fuel delivery module

clear of the vehicle as soon as possible.

Note:

Mop up all fuel spillage immediately Safely dispose of all cloths that become soaked in fuel.

When it is possible to complete the repair operation almost immediately, cover the aperture in the fuel tank from which the fuel delivery

module has been removed, to prevent the entry of foreign objects into the fuel tank and to minimize the spread of fumes that can be absorbed

by trim materials, leading to possible complaints of fuel odors.

If the operation cannot be completed immediately, pump out the remaining contents of the tank, on both sides of the central division, before

covering the opening.

Caution:

Do not use a knife or other cutting tool during the following procedure.

12. Loosen the two worm-drive hose clamps and remove them from the pipe stubs on the pump outlet and filter inlet connections (Illustration 1).

Note the direction in which the worm-drive screws face.

2000 Jaguar S-Type (X200) V6-3.0L Page 107

13. Using only a twisting and pulling action, release and remove the hose from both pipe stubs. Under no circumstances should a knife or other

cutting tool be used.

Caution:

Do not use pliers on the hose, or pry with a screwdriver or similar tool. Discard the hose and clamps.

14. Install the replacement hose on one pipe stub, pushing and twisting the hose until it is within 1 - 2 mm of the abutment flange. This operation

may be assisted by wetting the hose and pipe stub with fuel.

15. Thread new hose clamps on to the hose, their screws facing in the same direction (clockwise) as the hose clamps previously removed and

discarded.

Note:

Do not reuse the existing hose clamps.

16. Engage the free end of the hose on the other pipe stub, as in step 12 above.

17. Position the hose clamps so that 1 - 2 mm of hose remains visible on the outer side of each clamp. Ensure that the clamps will remain clear of

other hoses and plastic components, and partially tighten the worm-drive clamps. Torque the clamps to 2.0 - 2.5 Nm.

18. Where previously cut to enable removal of the fuel delivery module, install, but do not fully tighten, a new tie strap.

Note:

Ensure that the locking device is located against the clamp on the filter body If the tie strap is fully-tightened at this stage, it will be

impossible to reinstall the fuel delivery module into the tank.

19. Position the fuel delivery module in the fuel tank and fully seat the module.

20. Fully tighten the tie-strap, to hold the filter assembly tightly against the pump body, with no slack in the tie-strap.

21. Install a new gasket, then position and tighten the retaining ring, using special tool J310-169 to a torque of 60-70 Nm.

22. Reconnect the fuel hoses to the fuel delivery module. Check their security of each connector, without depressing the lock buttons, by pulling

along the centerline of each hose, exerting a pull of 40 N (10 lbs.) away from the connector.

23. Reconnect the multiplug.

24. If the tank was previously drained, refill the tank.

25. Reconnect the battery Start the engine. Check that no fuel leaks exist.

26. Clear away plastic sheeting from within the vehicle. Reinstall the rear seat.

27. Reset the clock and reset the compass.

28. When possible, park the vehicle with all windows open to allow any residual fuel odors to dissipate, before returning the vehicle to the

customer. If parked in the open air, remove the keys and store in a secure location.

A/C Odor - Applying Odor Control Treatment - Procedure

Issue:

Odor from the vehicle air conditioning system can be caused when condensation mixes with airborne pollutants, resulting in biological reactions that

2000 Jaguar S-Type (X200) V6-3.0L Page 13

may lead to the formation of unpleasant odors. In turn when the ventilation blower is switched on, these odors will be forced into vehicle passenger

compartment. This bulletin provides a procedure for applying an odor control treatment.

Action:

In case of a customer complaint on a 2000 MY-ON S-TYPE, perform the following procedure:

APPLYING ODOR CONTROL TREATMENT

1. Verify that the customer complaint is valid i.e. that odor is not from an external source but is in fact coming from air conditioning system.

2. Use WDS to check for any Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs).

3. Open hood and place covers over the fenders.

4. Install suitable floor coverings over front carpets to collect any liquid spillage during operation.

5. Install drain tray under vehicle to collect any surplus liquid from condensation drain tubes.

6. Remove wiper arms.

7. Remove leaf screen finisher.

8. Remove and inspect cabin air (pollen) filter cartridge. If contaminated, discard and replace with new cartridge when application of odor

treatment has been completed.

9. Disconnect air conditioning (A/C) compressor electrical connector.

10. Attach exhaust fume extractor pipes to exhaust tail pipes.

11. Ensure handbrake is fully applied and transmission selector lever is in "P" position.

12. Start engine and set the A/C controls as follows: - Set driver temperature control to 'HI' selecting maximum fans (if not already engaged) push

and hold 'recirculation' button until 2 audible chirps are heard (latched into the continuous position). Open all front and rear vents, lower one

window approximately 15 mm (0.15 in) and ensure all doors closed.

13. Let engine idle for 20 minutes to blow dry hot air over evaporator to remove any residual moisture.

14. Open door and press the recirculation button once to unlatch recirculation control to revert to external air supply, then close door.

15. Shake bottle of A/C odor control solution to ensure thorough mixing.

Warning:

The air conditioning odor control solution is an irritant and must be handled with care, gloves and eye protection must be worn when using

this solution and any spillage must be removed with water.

16. Connect applicator tool to a workshop airline.

Caution:

The compressed air supply should be set to 70 psi +/- 20 psi (4.7 bar +/- 1.4 bar).

17. Remove screw cap from bottle of A/C odor control solution and screw bottle to cap attached to the applicator.

18. Insert applicator tool into fan intake duct so nozzle points in direction of air flow.

Note:

Do not rest nozzle tip against gauze screen, as this will disturb atomization.

2000 Jaguar S-Type (X200) V6-3.0L Page 14

19. With engine and ventilation system still running, open valve on applicator tool to spray odor control solution into system (Illustration 1).

Note:

The odor control should be applied in bursts of 3 seconds with a 2 second interval, until entire contents of the bottle is used. This will

provide sufficient solution without the surplus leaking from the ventilation outlets.

Warning:

During the application of the odor control solution, no person or animal should be allowed to remain in the vehicle.

20. Let engine and A/C fans run for a further 2 minutes to obtain a higher rate of dispersion.

21. Immediately after odor control solution bottle has been emptied, clean the applicator and bottle by flushing it out with clean water.

Note:

The tip of applicator nozzle should be directed into an appropriate drain.

22. Stop the engine and A/C fans, and leave the vehicle for 20 minutes.

23. Repeat steps 11 and 12.

24. Dry and cure product in this mode for approximately 20 minutes.

25. Open door and press recirculation button once to unlatch recirculation control.

26. After approximately 30 seconds, reselect recirculation mode and check operation of recirculation flap.

27. Switch off ignition and reconnect A/C compressor electrical connector.

28. Inspect and install cabin air filter cartridge. If contaminated, discard and replace with new a cartridge since a blocked filter can cause

unpleasant odors.

Note:

Check service history since the cabin air filter cartridge is to be changed at every 10,000 mile (16,000 km) service interval.

29. Install leaf screen finisher.

30. Install wiper arms.

31. Remove drain tray and exhaust fume extractor.

32. Remove front carpet protection covers.

33. Remove hood protection covers, close hood.

34. Check all A/C control functions.

New Jaguar F-Type Convertible

Perhaps the four-cylinder F-type would make a extra compelling case for itself if the V6 was dropped, and solely the more powerful 380PS V6 S offered. The brand new model drops the F-sort price of entry to £49,900, at the very least £2.3k below the 335bhp V6 with a handbook transmission, previously essentially the most inexpensive model. As we’ve come to expect from the now ubiquitous transmission, the 8-pace fires off quick shifts beneath strain. 255) possibility would work in concert with the synthetic noises that come through the speakers. But since its launch, the landscape has shifted: JLR’s new 4-cylinder Ingenium engine line-up has come on stream, and Porsche has began fitting flat fours to Boxsters and Caymans. InControl Remote also makes it attainable to start out the engine remotely. That stated, it’s possible the identical automobile could not show to be as noisy in Australia, since the Norwegian roads, at instances, have been fairly coarse. It’s very good, if not flawless. It’s precise and accurate, but it feels too keen to self-centre and lacks floor feedback - it’s not a deal-breaker and doesn’t particularly detract from the experience, it just doesn’t add as a lot because it might. We’ve bought a day to find out if it still appears like a true F-kind, with a drive over some difficult Welsh roads.

Throttle response of this turbocharged F feels a lot mushier after the zing of the supercharged fashions, and the electrically assisted steering is totally different too. Flappy paddles behind the skinny-rimmed, three-spoke steering wheel are ready for a superb time, however I discovered myself content material with letting the transmission do the work in Sport mode. That’s till you study that the three-pedal V6 F-kind has proved a sluggish seller, so all 4-cylinder fashions are geared up with the eight-speed automatic. But as you start delving into the upper reaches of its performance there's depth and capacity approach past something we've ever had in an F-Type earlier than. I especially cherished the copper accents on the shift paddles, the start button and the "dynamic mode" swap. However, selecting a sports activities automobile has never been a rational decision, and that is where the F-Type begins to make sense. The interior is very fashionable, thing which can most likely scare an aspiring race drive and would possibly make him select, for example a Porsche Boxster as a substitute which is by the best way heaps cheaper, but individuals's style is the other question. However, what finally ends up taking place is that we’ve got ourselves a particularly aggressive drag race.

At the top of Tuesday’s show Strahan and his guest co-host Kristin Chenoweth received to drive away in the sleek new Cyber Gray convertible. We had been positive AWD was saving us in corners we had entered too fast, received on the throttle too quickly or in any other case screwed up. The twin-scroll turbocharger doesn’t surge with abrupt energy supply, as an alternative relying on a progressive, simple-to-modulate throttle. However it doesn’t disappoint in the way in which, say, those Caymans and Boxsters do. When viewed from the entrance, the C-Xonca doesn’t embrace any type of grille and as a substitute makes do with a big single air intake at the base of the bumper. There’s no guide choice in the base F-Type, which seems like a missed opportunity for lovers. The bottom coupe and the ‘S’ variant are powered by a 3.Zero litre supercharged V6, pumping out 340 hp and 380 hp respectively. Jaguar admits that demand for F-Type manuals is minimal, though, so it’s another case of automotive guys and gals not placing their cash the place their mouths (and Internet comments) are.

Now, the F-Type Project 7 is based round the usual F-Type R with quite a lot of re-engineering gone into chassis and suspension elements. The 2.4 is standard on the SXT and GT, and the Limited. Of course, you will must deal with restricted inside and cargo space. I’m not sure I’d deny myself a V6 with that kind of saving on provide, and there’s a superb perception into how this all stacks up - or perhaps not - on a finance deal on our sister site, Parkers. There’s no option of all-wheel drive, which is logical sufficient on an entry-level model, so too that you get solely passive dampers, not the intelligent constantly variable stuff, and that there’s no limited-slip diff. Jag’s entry-level sports activities automotive is lighter, more nimble, a lot speedy sufficient to get your kicks and work the chassis, and naturally it’s more gas efficient too. You even get thunderclaps on the overrun, just just like the ‘big’ F types. The deployable rear-spoiler kicks in at 110 km/h (96 km/h for the drop high) and the deployable door handles tuck in nicely for an even smoother look. When Ford purchased Jaguar in 1989, the suits from Michigan took one look on the out-of-control F-Type program and stated “Axe it!

How does a four-cylinder F-kind drive? With less weight over the nostril, it’s instantly obvious that the 4-cylinder model turns in more eagerly than its more powerful siblings, making it really feel more agile and energetic in the best way it responds to steering inputs. 1380 Climate package deal that features a heated windshield, seats and steering wheel along with two-zone local weather management. The Chequered Flag variant underlines a sequence of enhancements to the standard F-Type range for 2019. This includes customary fitment of a reversing camera and front parking sensors throughout the vary. The most affordable four-cylinder F-sort prices £49,900. When Jaguar first plotted the F-type, there was no 4-cylinder model in the product plan, solely sixes and eights. But we’ll park that dilemma with the product planners. Perhaps apparently much less logical is the decision not to supply the manual six-speed guide transmission. Real worth: you clear up an issue in your client and in return they offer currency (money, time) to have this downside solved.

2019 Jaguar F-Type S V-6 Roadster Long-Term Arrival

That is what that you must do; Press the brake pedal together with your left foot, build the revs together with your proper foot. I have had some experience with automatic transmissions, right from the agrarian Santro box to some first rate ones that come within the BMWs and Audis of the world. ZF’s all the time good, often nice 8-speed automatic transmission sends energy rearward. It's manufactured by "ZF", the identical company that put the 8-pace gearbox in the F30 3-Series, and a few different automobiles too. I never bothered with it after couple of instances, simply pressed the deactivate toggle on the central tunnel console and dismissed it off. The usual rotary shifter management will even be in place in the center console. Inside you’ll discover Windsor Leather upholstery, Performance seats, darkish brushed aluminum trim on the middle console, and a particular steering wheel with checkered-flag emblem and red-leather-based middle mark at 12 o’clock. To optimize engine packaging, the aluminum V6’s Roots-type supercharger is situated in the 90 degree cylinder vee.

All sheetmetal is now aluminum on the cabriolets, and as all 992s now characteristic broad bodywork, the new drop-tops measure 71.2 inches large up entrance and 72.9 inches vast out back. If you’re counting, that’s about 115 pounds much less over the entrance axle than the V-6 model. It’s so aurally pleasing that it’s almost enough to make me overlook that the V-6 and ferocious V-8 engines fitted to the remainder of the F-Type lineup sound so good. Those numbers make the Thunder the fastest, most potent Lister car ever made. No, the turbo-4 doesn't make the F-Type into a greater automotive, nevertheless it does change this two-door's character. By distinction to different models within the vary, the SVR F-Type is all-wheel drive to raised handle the immense power bump. This comes normal on the V6 S and V8 S fashions and as an optionally available extra for the plain F-Type. All of it comes at a fairly steep premium, putting the SVR in the identical company as cars such as the Aston Martin V8 Vantage, however like its opponents, you also can get one as a convertible. The new AWD system is obtainable as an choice on V-6 powered F-Type S Convertible (but not with a handbook transmission), and is commonplace on the F-Type R convertible, which now replaces the V-eight S Convertible in the current lineup.

Ok, now lets attempt the Dynamic Mode, where the automobile has to listen to another CPU that isn't precisely wired into the automotive itself. Yes, it additionally blips the throttle to rev match for you while shifting gears, and no it wont shift up for you in Dynamic Mode, even for those who hit the rev limit. Do not fret, Dynamic Launch is already programmed in on the F-Type. Trust me, our local cops would positive the heck out of us if the dynamic mode was set to 'On' even at speeds of 60-eighty km/h with a slightly heavy throttle. Mated to those super charged engines, this gear-field can pull off some silly sluggish speeds with out caring what rpm the engine is at. Yes I'm not kidding, this gear-box is simply amazing. That’s not a nasty deal when the Tesla Model S 75D only bests it by 0.3 seconds to 60 mph and a prime pace bump of 15 mph, but prices a few thousand more.

New York Auto Show, Jaguar has revealed the final piece of the 2018 F-Type puzzle: a 4-cylinder entry-degree model. Traction assist comes within the form of a very good previous mechanical slip diff in V6 S model and the V8 S gets an digital one. These actively work with ABS and stability management system to offer the most effective traction potential at any given level of time. It has a rear wheel drive and an eight velocity auto transmission system with a manual shifting mode feature which is mated with its engine. The one gripe I had with the whole transmission set up was the engine auto Start / Stop system. Jaguar assures us that two golf luggage will match, however we're more inclined to suppose that one set of clubs in a medium bag would barely squeeze in there. Originally unveiled in Paris, the LA show was the first opportunity that the sub-XK efficiency machine will likely be seen Stateside. Since then, I've seen the McLaren P1, Ferrari La Ferrari, and Porsche 918 enter manufacturing, however none of those mega cars made me really feel the way in which I did after i first noticed that Skyline R-34.
