Hi all,

I purchased my first Jaguar (2005 XJ8l with 90k miles) in September and it has been a phenomenal vehicle for my work commutes. I am from Southern Illinois in the US. I am now diving into some maintenance and need some assistance from more experienced owners. Any help would be appreciated!

I recently ran my engine codes and came up with P0300, P0305, P1313, P1316, and P2097. After reading up on these forums prior to becoming a member, I purchased new spark plugs, ignition coils, fuel filter, intake air filter, and 02 sensors. I figured while I was in there, I may as well do some preventative maintenance now that the weather is getting cold. After disassembling the engine bay to install the spark plugs, I noted some concerning leaks and collapsed coolant lines. Can any of you with greater experience than I offer some insight as to, 1. What might be causing these oil leaks? 2. What might be causing the collapsed coolant lines? (I assume the lines are under vacuum and they are just old. Does anyone have experience with this?), 3. What is this electrical connection on the air box? There was nothing attached to it. Is this for the supercharged engines? And 4. Is my approach to the engine codes correct? This procedure has worked on my past vehicles, but this is a Jaguar after all.










Thank you in advance!
