The Jaguar XJ (X308) is a full-size luxury saloon car manufactured and marketed by Jaguar Cars for years 1997–2003 across two generations and featuring the Jaguar AJ-V8 engine and Jaguar independent rear suspension. It was the third and final evolution of the Jaguar XJ40 platform that had been in production since 1986. It was preceded by the Jaguar XJ (X300).

Exterior

The X308 kept much of the same exterior styling as its predecessor, the Jaguar XJ (X300), carrying its rounded four-headlamp bonnet, low roofline, sloping tail, and wrap-around rear light clusters. From the front, the two generations can be differentiated by the shape of the indicator lenses (rectangular on the X300, oval on the X308), and also by the shape of the fog lamps and lower valance air intake, both of which are more rounded on the X308.

The front and rear bumpers were both changed along with the taillights which had red/clear lenses rather than red/grey lenses. The grille surround and badging was slightly changed. The headlight fixtures also included forward parking lights housed with the brights, new to X308.

Common Jaguar Xj8 problems

The Jaguar XJ8, produced from 1997 to 2009, is known for its luxurious design and powerful V8 engine. However, like any vehicle, it has its share of common problems that owners have reported.

Plastic Thermostat Housing: The plastic thermostat housing in the XJ8 is prone to cracking and leaking. This is an inevitable issue due to the material used, and it is recommended to replace it when it starts to show signs of wear.

Timing Chain Tensioners: The timing chain tensioners in the XJ8 are made of plastic and are known to break due to stress. This can cause metal-on-metal friction between the timing chain and the tensioner, potentially leading to serious damage.

Water Pump Impellers: Early water pump impellers in the XJ8 were prone to breaking up, causing overheating and potential engine damage. This issue has been mostly resolved in later models, but it is still worth checking if purchasing an older XJ8.

Electrical Issues: Some owners have reported electrical issues with the XJ8, including problems with the electronic parking brake and fault lights. These issues can often be resolved with proper diagnosis and repair.

Dependability: While the XJ8 is known for its luxury and performance, its dependability has been questioned. Some owners have reported issues with the car's reliability, particularly in earlier models. However, with proper maintenance and care, the XJ8 can provide a comfortable and reliable driving experience.

In summary, the Jaguar XJ8 is a luxurious and powerful vehicle, but like any car, it has its share of common problems. These issues include transmission wear, plastic thermostat housing, timing chain tensioners, water pump impellers, electrical faults, and overall dependability. With proper maintenance and care, however, these issues can be minimized, and the XJ8 can provide a comfortable and reliable driving experience.

What is the problem with the 4.0 V8 Jaguar engine?

The Jaguar V-8 4.0 & 4.2 Liter engines are very prone to coolant leaks, due to the use of many plastic components. The most troublesome parts are the thermostat housing and the water pump.. We replace the 4.0 Ltr plastic housing with an aluminum version that solves the problem.

Jaguar Xj8 2006

Date Of Incident: 2013-11-12
Date Complaint: 2013-11-12
VIN: SAJWA71B56S
Components: SUSPENSION
Summary: A KNOWN DEFECT IN THE MANUFACTURE OF THE 2004 THROUGH 2006 JAGUAR XJ8S AND NEEDS TO BE RECALLED FOR REPAIR IN REGARD TO THIS MODEL'S AIR SUSPENSION. IN COLD TEMPERATURES (30 DEGREES F OR BELOW), THE AIR SUSPENSION SYSTEM FAILS TO KEEP THE FRONT END OF THE VEHICLE SUSPENDED. A RED LIGHT ON THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER LIGHTS UP AND THE MESSAGE CENTER DISPLAYS THE WARNING, "VEHICLE TOO LOW". THIS PARTICULAR INCIDENT OCCURRED THIS MORNING, 11/12/2013, AS I STARTED MY CAR (27 DEGREES F OUTSIDE). UNFORTUNATELY, THIS HAPPENED TO ME 6 MONTHS AGO WHILE TRAVELING ON THE INTERSTATE ACROSS COUNTRY WHEN THE OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE DIPPED TO 29 DEGREES F. I WAS GOING THE SPEED LIMIT OF 70 MPH AT THE TIME THAT THE SUSPENSION SUDDENLY DROPPED. IT COULD HAVE CAUSED A MAJOR CAR ACCIDENT. AS SOON AS THE OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE RISES ABOVE 30 DEGREES F, THE AIR SUSPENSION COMPRESSOR KICKS IN AND LIFTS THE VEHICLE UP TO ITS APPROPRIATE HEIGHT. THIS KNOWN DEFECT IN THE MANUFACTURE OF THE AIR SUSPENSION IS HIGHLY DANGEROUS AND A RECALL NEEDS TO BE ENACTED AGAINST THE MANUFACTURER, JAGUAR. I HAVE DISCOVERED ON THE INTERNET COUNTLESS COMPLAINTS OF THIS PROBLEM. *TR

Components: ENGINE
Summary: OPERATING MY VEHICLE, THE ENGINE STARTING RUNNING POOR. JAGUAR DEALERSHIP EXPLAINED POORLY DESIGNED TIMING CHAIN TENSIONERS AND ARMS HAVE FAILED BECAUSE JAGUAR MADE THE COMPONENTS OUT OF A CHEAP PLASTIC, THAT IS KNOWN TO CRACK AND CAUSE THE VALVES TO CONTACT THE PISTONS. JAGUAR UPDATED THE TENSIONERS TO METAL , BUT REFUSES TO ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS DESIGN FLAW AND WANT TO CHARGE SEVERAL THOUSAND DOLLARS TO UPGRADE TO THE BETTER DESIGNED PARTS. THEY REFEREED ME TO SERVICE BULLETIN TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN NO. X303-68 , BUT IT STATES IF YOU HAERA A RATTLING NOISE, HOWEVER IT ALSO STATES YOU MAY NOT HEAR A RATTLING NOISE, MY CAR DID NOT, AND OUT OF NO WHERE , THENGINE STOPPED RUNNING DUE TO THIS DESIGN FLAW, THAT HAS BEEN UPDATED. IN FACT, THIS EFFECT EVERY SINGLE 4.0 ENGINE, THAT'S MILLIONS! IT'S TIME THIS BECOMES A RECALL TO REPLACE THESE PARTS FREE AND REPAIR ANY ENGINE COMPONENT DAMAGED FROM THEIR FAILURE.A CUSTOMER SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY THOUSANDS FOR AN DEFECTIVE PLASTIC TENSIONER, SOME ONE PUT INSIDE A HOT RUNNING ENGINE, THAT WAS A VERY DUMB IDEA, AND THE FAILURE MAY EVEN OCCUR AS YOUNG AS 32,000 MILES.
