New Jaguar (S-Type) Owner

[CBers]

Hi Guys.

 

Just registered, as I have just bought my first Jaguar, a 2006 S-Type SE D Auto.

 

Will no doubt be asking lots of questions, but will make use of the search tool as well.

Hi CBers, and welcome to the club.

 

The 2.7 Diesel is a great engine.  I had my engine Terracleaned after a year of use and it made a real difference both to performance and economy.  I also use the best quality fuel - Shell V Power - as a performance engine does like the best fuel.

 

The only issues I have had with my car is the occasional "Parkbrake Malfunction" which is rectified by disconnecting the battery for 10 minutes, although you have to reset the radio, etc and the one touch on the windows.

 

The other issue was the amber warning light and the scanner giving me Code P0402, which is the EGR valves sticking.  A good blast on the motorway often cures it but also Wynns  Diesel EGR cleaner does the job.

 

You will enjoy your car - the best one I have ever owned.

 

Regards,

 

Peter.

Thanks Peter.

 

This is a large forum, so will take a while to read through all of the posts etc.

 

Just enquired about the Terracleaning - dealer just down the road from me :)

 

So you would recommend staying with the Shell V Power diesel then ??

 

Right, off to post somewhere about my dodgy rear parking sensors !!
