My CHEAP Jaguar Runs Amazing After Doing A MEGA Tune Up

Last week I thought 2003 Jag S-Type powered by the 3.0 Duratec, with a 5 speed manual was the best car to work on. The engine bay had some clever engineering in it and everything could be repaired in minutes. Then I had to take the upper intake manifold off, I've done plenty of worse jobs but it wasn't easy in the slightest. As I kept tearing down the engine I found another massive problem, and this one is NOT easy to solve.

The Jaguar is really coming around. The “super” tune did wonders to put the growl back into the cat. It might seem petty, but the crusty looking steering wheel would drive me nuts. It can be dyed back to look new because a detailer at my Lexus dealer redid mine perfectly. Really made a difference.

@phillipclaridge3112 Год назад

The S-Type is a great car, I had one for many years and loved every moment with it - should have kept it

@lensmith8242 Год назад

you should replace the timing chain guides they’re a ticking time bomb aka brittle don’t ruin the engine

@hungryhungryhummer Год назад

The car just isn’t worth enough to do it. If it was low miles and good condition maybe, but it just doesn’t make sense

@TwoDollarGararge Год назад

He never does that stuff even when it's seems like it would be really convenient like the engine is out he just does what is needed and if it doesn't go bad on him that's the next guy's problem

@nicholasvinen Год назад

I think it's because if you do all the "while I'm in there" jobs you basically end up rebuilding the whole engine. You have to stop somewhere.

@Ebanuelos Год назад

Spark plug risers on the o2 sensors do miracles for Jaguars when they have Catalyst codes. Definitely worth a try on this one

@MrMattDat Год назад

Got to agree with the others, this is a great rebuild and it is awesome to see you bring this Jag back!!

@renrut1613 Год назад

Loving this rebuild series nice to see you take it back to perfection. Well done.

@warummussmeinnameangegeben6502 Год назад

Please fix the timing chain guide - I know it's a pain, but leaving it would be bad

@chrispy3866 Год назад

Well done. Glad you are sticking with it. Can’t wait for the suspension video. One last thing. Please address the hideous steering wheel!

@katmarie146 Год назад

Im glad to see someone finally making videos on these!

@tinman7551 Год назад

I hope you get the timing chain tensioner fixed 😮🤞🏻 it would be terrible if it caused major issues down the road.

@RealRickCox Год назад

Looks like you've got the Jag sorted.... now it's time to see how much you can flip it for! :D

@NZotyoka81 Год назад

I’m soooo excited to see the Jaaag getting better. I spent over $10k onto mine to bring it back although it wasn’t in such a bad shape like yours. I figured out later mine was a kind of flip car. Dealers bought it than sold it within a short amount of time so it wasn’t even driven a lot i had only 99k miles on it and the car was like 12 years old when i got it. Mine had a 6 spd auto and it was very fast and smooth. The 3.0 v6 is not 0-60mph champion but it can surprise you when you on the highway and stepping onto the gas at 60mph. The mechanical parts are bullet proof unlike the electrical parts. It can be very annoying cause the check engine light is on for everything. Dispite all the issues what i had I freaking miss mine. Maybe one day I will get another one.

@gabeperkins9660 Год назад

Dig these videos. Bring cars like this back. Appreciate the grind

@grantling4408 Год назад

@tonywilliams4066 3 месяца назад

Should have taken the intermediate intake off. Super easy…and you get to the lower gaskets. Those are usually the issue with leaks. And it gives you a chance to look at the injectors.

@NickJThibault Год назад

don’t always comment but you’re videos are the ones i enjoy to watch the most on YT, i check everyday to see if you post, honest educational and fun you don’t see that often anywhere. Thank You been watching for a couple years and always enjoy the videos, i do miss shop repair/upgrades videos!

@adasterdezaster2865 Год назад

Love the Jag stuff JR

@69Dartman Год назад

Fix what really needs it and see if it runs happy again. I got all the oil leaks fixed on my old neon and then just to cap all the work I'd recently done besides the leaks and it threw the timing belt, I gave up... Watching now 👍

@cba360 Год назад

I have a smaller Noco box, but after 12 months and 2 uses it wouldn't turn on, luckily customer service was excellent and they sent a replacement once the serial was scratched off.... It was just a failed 4 pole smd switch so now I have two!

@MrPabsUk Год назад

Thanks for taking the time to bring back some pounce to this Brit cat! I reckon you`ll have a load of fun once the suspension is up to scratch again.. Your making me want to buy another one!

@pcthayer Год назад

Great work. Nice you are able to keep another "manual transmission" car on the road and away from the scrap yard. I tell ya I had my doubts after you got the list of things needed on that car from the Jag guru.

@richcortez3102 Год назад

Awesome build bro

@Kieran46100 Год назад

Again a great video, thanks for sharing

@jharrison1185 Год назад

I worked at Ford on the assembly lines and built these motors. They have an entire different set of heads than the Ford version Duratec. The valves were activated using a direct action mechanical bucket. The ford heads used roller finger followers. It also had a much larger oil pan than the fords did allowing a larger oil capacity, as well as a oil cooler which likely could significantly extend the life of this motor if maintained properly.

@WatchJRGo Год назад

I was blown away when I found out the V6 and the V8 call for 7 liters of oil! 😳

@jharrison1185 Год назад

My 1999 cougar had a 2.5 duratec with a 5 speed manual and no oil cooler did not fare so well. It only had a 5 qt capacity. At 68k miles I threw a rod. It didn't help that I drove that car hard and fast like it was a Porsche LoL!

@randygranger2294 Год назад

Perfect car for this! Sounds so good!!!! Great job!!!!!

@Ball_Black 3 месяца назад

My '06 s type that I just bought for $1,000, has some cosmetic issues in the interior, but I changed the spark plugs, and this thing Hauls ass! I'm already getting offers to buy it, and I haven't done much with it yet. Wait till I get that new aftermarket radio installed, and get the doors and windows fixed. I didn't think I would, but I absolutely love this damn car.

12:22 that’s normal, I have an 04 Lincoln LS, the parking brake gets upset when the battery is low, just hit clear and it will be fine next time you start the car.

@davidascher1801 Год назад

Nicely done

@84gssteve Год назад

The Noco 4000's are great jump boxes. They start everything in my rental fleet from dead flat.....excavators, loaders, even diesel dump trucks. It can even kick my 12V 3-battery semi truck over, so long as its not totally dead. We did manage to kill one after 2-3 years though, it seems like the internal chargers are the weak point. The battery shop I get them from confirmed they are the most common failure, but have no problems warrantying them before 18 months.

@bozodog428 Год назад

One of my favorite style Jags and with a five speed. Try some leather dye on the steering wheel. Will give the driver a whole new perspective.

@rpavlik1 Год назад

It's a fun time (by some definitions) to use a lithium jump pack on a riding lawnmower, they really spin fast when they get that much juice. Clearly the little lawn and garden 12V lead acid batteries drop a lot of voltage under load

@Jim.Thunda 4 месяца назад

Most people look at this the wrong way. If you can pick up a luxury car cheap enough and restore it you have a nice car that should last for at least 300,000 mile. That's good value compared to what's on the new car market.

@hollymarie2114 Год назад

I can’t believe you touched that dirty steering wheel! You always clean everything before you start working! That was all I could look at during the test drive! 😂

@mariopizzamanmario8563 Год назад

Good job, remember to pressure-bleed the cooling system, else you'll keep having trouble due to air bubbles. That might also affect your climate control! - After doing the suspension - if you want to add some "show" to the go, get some 18 inch alloys from the Jag XF. I have done same and they look great as well as allowing some wider tires. I got Yokohama Advan Fleva which are very quiet tires. And yes it should be like 'glued to the road' after getting it all in order. Can drift too... turn off the ESP...

@kwajtube Год назад

Is opening the garage door before starting the car just not a thing anymore? ;)

@KingInky13 Год назад

The "apply park brake" thing is normal on these after a dead/ disconnected battery, I've had to do it plenty of times on my 03 4.2L. Just one of those quirky Jag things.

@skolenimation Год назад

MSDS headers and a Borla makes these sound great.

@In_memory_of_Dad Год назад

The 3.0 is probably the best of the S Types and to get one with a manual gearbox is even rarer even here in the UK!!!

@channell11 Год назад

That V6 is based on the Ford Duratec engine. If it's having chain guide issues it must have been really neglected-those engines are free of major issues as long as you keep oil and coolant in them.

@cgmoog Год назад

The drifting is the rear tie rod bushings the two rear wheels are steering the car.

I need to donthe same thing to mine. My suspension is shot too. But I only have 85,000 miles . I'm jealous I need to get in your level

@_JimS 7 месяцев назад

Going forward there's a lot more room to work on the back of the engine when you take the cowling off under the wiper blades. If this is like my 2003 4.2l while it's off you can replace the cabin filter. Not a big job at all. Also if your car has HID headlights, buy good bulbs because replacing them is a bear.

I just noticed on the oil cap that this engine calls for 5W-30. The Ford Duratec version called for 5W-20.

@benjaminkamben4908 Год назад

Really wish you would replace all the bushings with some poly bushes. Maybe from white-line. This might be a stupid question, but couldn't you replace the factory cats with high flow aftermarket, then use a o2 censor spacer, then clear the codes? I am not sure the legality of it, but worth a shot?

@SandroKornely Год назад

How do you think, how can you restore the paint on the steering wheel?

@thompsongjr Год назад

@0PsychosisMedia0 Год назад

This is a nice find of a car. Unfortunately without the know-how and tools to fix it yourself this car would be a money pit. I would love to own one especially a manual or even a S-type R. The white color of the car fits the design! Its either the white or black color. I can only dream. You will fetch a really good sum when you sell this car as it now has all the work documented. If only i had the cash.....

Congrats on the gbx155 it's a beast. There is a gb250 which has a whopping 5250 amps, comes in a heavy duty carrying case with a shoulder strap it's so heavy and does a better job on our school buses, but the gbx155 does start whatever I throw at it (with some smoking at the connections and hot wires).

@paulsengupta971 Год назад

The thing that makes the Jag "fast" isn't so much the outright speed, it's the cushioning from the outside world it gives you. You can be doing 90mph without so much as a whisper (metaphorically).

@britishcarfan9601 Год назад

Those electric parking brakes on the Jags do not like low voltage, if the battery goes dead or gets low, they goof up. After the voltage is back to normal, it will be good!

Hey JR I heard you said your cats were bad, you should try lacquer thinner in your fuel. Buy a gallon of it and put it in with a full tank and run it. It worked for me and their videos all over RU-vid of people having success. It's worth a try in my book anyway. Good luck.

@sleepyhollow783 Год назад

My understanding is that the cats are actually removed from the car.

@jmaxim80 Год назад

Okay well know amount of lacquer thinner is going to help that then is it. 😁 it's still a great tip for anyone with cat codes.

@T.S.T2014 Год назад

It will be a perfect daily keeper when you finish it. The Jag will be better than factory and that’s saying something.

@garysimonson9593 Год назад

That steering wheel sure looks like standard Ford parts bin fare. Maybe there's a good one to be had for a decent price. I wondered for a moment why you didn't paint the valve covers. Then I remembered that the beauty cover makes that completely unnecessary.

@paulsengupta971 Год назад

Be careful with drifting/spinning the wheels. There's a software issue, at least with my 2.7d, which means that if the wheels spin, like in the snow, and the traction control is activated, sometimes it locks up the electronic parking brake next time you stop. You need to log into the parking brake module and reset it. I didn't know this and the first time it happened to me I spent £600 on new parking brake components. Next time the RAC man was able to reset it as I knew what the problem was. Apparently it's a service bulletin and software update in the US but here in the UK no Jaguar dealer or specialist know about it and and say I have the latest software.
