replace ABS wheel speed sensor 

Yes very good info..so pleased to see genuine problem solved by good mechanics

Cheers John for video I changed my wheel Censor on my XK8 and had to drill the old one out the new one just slipped straight in 👍

I can’t begin to thank you for this whole series. You have taught me so much about a Jaguar XK8 I bought on a whim 2 years ago knowing nothing about it, other than it is expensive to fix. I recently wrote an article for British Marque called “How a Cat Landed in My Lap”. I will send you a copy when it is published as you are mentioned in it! Keep sending your wonderful videos on the Jaguar XK8!

Just subscribed after breaking off my osf abs sensor and looking for fix. I will be checking your channel in future before embarking on any other issues to fix as I may not of needed to be removing it in the first place had I tested it properly as you demonstrated.

Hello John. I diagnosed this issue with an icarsoft code reader which identified the near side sensor. To remove the sensor I screwed a large ish diameter screw into the sensor and pulled it out with a claw hammer. 😉

Great video John glad to see you put copper grease on good idea I just had a used sensor and it was $365 I don't think you can get new ones for my 1995 XJS till the next time thanks Andy Allen.

This work takes a lot of patience and nerves, we say in German. You said in other videos that you are not an expert. It's hard to believe, because your solution always looks so confident👍

Thanks for the V.E. Day section, John. Much appreciated. Cheers Nick

Thanks for your comments John and I will send you a copy of the article. I am loving my CAT! Tom

Nightmare for a 10 min job well done for your perseverance

Good job John, informative as ever. When I have an issue I now know where to look. Cheers.

Well done - you kept calm and I heard no bad language!!

John I have two error messages Traction Control & Stability Control Fail along with the ABS light on - Hopefully following your tutorial this will help me trace the error - Another great video Thanks

An excellent video! Very educational. Thank you for taking the time to show us how to solve this problem.

John Thanks much for your informative videos. I have a 97 XK8 and your ToThe Garage series has been fun to watch and a treasure chest of knowledge for XK8 owners. Keep up the good work...I'll keep watching and learning. Looking forward to your AC vent repair solution...the vents not in proper order are infuriating for my OCD. lol

Just bought myself one of these beauties. Hard top 2002 model in blue. Having exactly these issues with my cat, ABS traction and ASC errors. Also Coolant level low error when coolant full. Absolutely love your videos been watching them ever since i decided that the XK8 was going to be my next car haha guess I was prepping myself for the work to come. Keep them coming

Very interesting as usual John. Took the xkr out for a run today and pleased to say no issues. Watching your video on the headlight removal I noticed I was missing the top water trickle tray on top of the light. Autoreserve at the rescue again. Lol

Very informative information, well done.

Good job. Very patient. Congrats

PERFECT WELL DONE

Another great video. Next time I am over there I will have to take a drive and look for your flag. I will have to keep an eye out for your video on removing the door panel. The one on my drivers side has a loose connector on the top corner. Procrastinating on taking it off and replacing connectors, so I will wait until you do it.

Wow what a pain getting that sensor out! Great video, my car exhibited similar warnings after a very wet drive and has disappeared since so I think the sensor must have got moisture in it, the issue I’ve got now though is that I tried to remove the sensor but the retaining bolt sheared!!! Doesn’t look like it will just fall out though based on this 🤣🤣

Don't you just love those 5 minute jobs that become anything but? Extra beer deserved.

I had my ABS motor rebuilt many years ago with great results. I live in Wisconsin, USA and drive my XK8 in winter so the ABS gets a regular workout. Those in milder climates should find gravel and exercise their system, the motor can seize from lack of use...

I have watched quite a lot of your videos and there great, so helpful, and I don't even own a xk8 ,,,, 😂😂😂 But I do have my eye on one, and soon it will be mine.

I started receiving Cruise Control Not Available, DSC ABS System Fault warning on my dashboard. I booked the car into a local Jag garage & they diagnosed a front ABS wheel speed sensor fault. After fitting a new sensor the fault code remained. WARNING! The ABS wheel speed sensor fitted was the wrong one! Part no. LJA2226AA which fits all XK8, XKR 4.0 Models, 1996 to 2003. However, all later models were fitted with a new part no. XR822753F. This part covers all VIN no's. from A30645 to end of range. My XK8 is a 2004 4.2 & the garage were completely unaware of this!

Congratulate again that was a good "CARscrewdriver job. I love it ...if it s difficult to work !

Nice G-Shock John.

Very good job! I would have tried a screw in the stuck plastic and then perhaps you could pop it out like a wine cork. Also, I was very nervous about that nice watch :))) be careful not to damage it while working

We shall never surrender...That's what we say to the sensor.

hiya thanks for these vids theyve helped me alot with my jag ,one thing thought have you got or done a vid of adjusting the throttle cable mines got a lot of slack ,ive got the workshop manual on cd but it says a lot of stuff about using a diagnostic tool to do it but i dont have one surely its got to be a simple job after all its just a cable?,btw mines a xkr x reg

The 4.2 cars are hall affect sensors. They are a different shape and part number. Rear sensors throw a gearbox fault p0701, along with the C1165 for rear right C1155 Rear Left.

Hi John, another great vid thanks. Just a quick question, what is the paint colour name for your brake calipers please, as thinking of doing the same to mine. Andrew

Hi, very interesting and informative video. I have a 2004 model and last summer it started to have the DSC fault light coming on followed shortly afterwards by the ABS warning light. I found by turning the engine and turning it back on the fault would clear and the ABS light would go off. However, as the season progressed the DSC + ABS light came on more frequently and didn’t clear by engine switch off/on. Last autumn the fault was isolated to the front o/s hub. New harness fitted. Fault returned about 3 weeks later. New hub sensor fitted November, fault returned after 1 week. Fault intermittent since then. Any ideas on next steps would be appreciated. Note when car is not in use battery connected to trickle charger. Battery Is about 18 months old. Thanks

John, brilliant videos. My asc sensor is stuck as was yours. On reflection is there an easier way to remove the sensor as it has been suggested, it may be easier to remove the reluctor wheel and hammer the sensor out from the magnetic end. What are your views. Regards John.

Well done job John.Have you had any reason to replace blown dash bulb and how to do it ?

I wonder if the three plates would extend out proud of the surface and if you could then grab them one by one and pull them out to relieve the pressure outwards?

John, Tom here. The article, “How a Cat Landed in My Lap” came out in the British Marque magazine. I have copied it in my photos but can’t figure how to send it to you without an email address. Is there a way to send it over this sight? Please let me know, thanks!

Do the speed wheel speed sensors also affect the cruise control.

Heat? Solderig Iron?

Removal looked par for the course. Not been brave enough to try myself but burning them out might be more effective?

How about some heat to expand the hole size...

I thought that sort of sh%t only happened to me 😂

Will WD40 help?
