I bought a 2014 Jaguar F-Type S that had been sitting abandoned in a tree row for the last year. I've replaced the 3.0 V6 engine and the first drive didn't go as planned, it was misfiring so I headed straight back to the shop and parked it. Today when I went out to start troubleshooting it, the misfire was gone and it ran perfectly.... after putting some miles on this thing it might be may favorite car I own right now! It's fast, smooth, and it makes amazing noises.

I’m a retired mechanic JR, and I do very much like watching your Videos! Your patience and control in diagnosis of problems on ALL the different models of cars You repair is amazing. Thanks for making clean and intelligent videos to watch.

You have to wait at least 10 (more like 15) minutes with the car off to check the oil. We have XK's but the F Type is a fun car. enjoy!

Your honesty makes things so much better and easier. It's why I watch you!

@dontuno Год назад

Great result and will be even better when detailed. I've had 2 Jags and from my experience they are super fussy about battery voltage but hopefully the outstanding codes are not too serious. Re: oil level, get the engine up to temperature, wait 10 minutes then check.

@Rick99gsx Год назад

To check the oil... After warming up the engine turn it off, wait 10min or so then without turning the engine back on check the oil

@WatchJRGo Год назад

I just drove it home, read your comment, turned it back on and boom oil level is right on the money 🔥🔥🔥 I must have tried 10 times and it never gave me a reading before.

@theeubster Год назад

I was literally just about to comment the same when I saw your post. I have an F-Type R with the 5.0 V8 and it works the same way. Car has to be off for at least 10 minutes before it'll let you check.

@Fourrings80 Год назад

I can appreciate your perseverance. It feels great when it all works out in the end.

@matthewlange8616 Год назад

Very happy it is nearly all sorted. I've not had this as a big issue myself but the forums seem to think the F Type is pretty sensitive to bad fuel and a lot of people suggest using injector cleaner every third or forth fill up. Certainly mine runs slightly sweeter after running a bottle of injector cleaner through it.

@EG-zo3ig Год назад

FYI. Whenever you plug into the OBD2 port of the F type you can mess up some of the electronics. It creates an electrical drain in one of the computers that will kill the battery (wouldn't be a Jag without some electrical quirk, right?). The way you get around this is after plugging into the OBD2 port, disconnect the battery for ~30 sec and whatever problem the OBD2 connection created is reset. I disconnect the ground to the car under the truck liner, not the battery itself as the access is easier. I killed a couple of batteries until I learned the battery disconnect trick. Nice series.

Had a Mini Cooper S in last year for a permanent knock dectected. We went through everything, plugs, coils, fuel filter,etc. Eventually turned out that it had 95ron fuel in it when it should’ve had 97ron (UK). After 20 litres of 97 and an Italian tune up it ran perfect 👍☺️

@jdeltoro518 Год назад

@kevinsilverfox9694 Год назад

Can't wait for the full detail on this car, going to take some work, but i bet it comes out like glass... when you have a start/stop car, there is way more plumbing involved and wiring. Electric water and trans fluid pumps and plumbing, it's worse on a turbo because it also has air, oil and cooling running back n forth front to back off engine. Good job getting everything hooked up correct first time.

@Whatsinmygreygarage Год назад

JR, another bad as repair. You do a awesome job on all the projects. Since you have a jag and a helicopter I think a James Bond thing needs to happen! Seriously awesome channel, I look forward to seeing it every day. Thank you, What’s in my Grey Garage!

@frankvanrijn964 Год назад

@WatchJRGo: if I remember correctly you can only read out the oil level when the engine has been switched off for more than 15 minutes, it's like that on most JLR products these days. Also Dynamic mode could have been written out with the tune, that deletes most drive modes and makes it go fast in every one. Not my choice, but that's what it came with for you! And thanks again for rescuing this one, I'm madly in love with F-Types, especially the supercharged Sixes! The growl when you start it up and then revving it when it's nice and warm... 😄👍

@Mattmazz77 Год назад

I've seen more codes than that. But always start from scratch like you did by clearing everything and see what comes back. Sometimes if it's started with the existing codes still on it like it did for you. It will cause issues with the way it runs. That's why you need to reset all the modules.

@Mr69abody Год назад

With a bunch of the more modern vehicles. Once a code is set the system stays inactive/broken until you clear the codes. Put your a new switch or window motor in a BMW. Stays off until you clear the code and possibly relearn the window. Also I've seen the secondary battery mess with the rest of the electrical causing all kinds of random module errors. Here's to hoping it's something simple and stupid.

@kurtbilinski1723 Год назад

You noted that it may have been tuned. A tuned F-type typically consists of an aftermarket supercharger pulley and a reflashed ECU. If there's only one and not the other (due to changing the engine), that may be the issue. (I'm not the first to note this.) I wonder if some of the naysayers will now decide that Jags are nice...

@WatchJRGo Год назад

It's tuned for the smaller pulley, you can see it throws a temporary code that says "Non-OEM Calibration" 🍻

@timk.537 Год назад

@@WatchJRGo I'm sure that you're right, that it's tuned for the smaller SC pulley but the tune on these aj126 are typically for a the crank pulley which is 11.6% larger. This was the case on both my F-Type and F-paces.
