Hi folks,
yep, fortunate enough to get a 2002 2.5 L v6 Xtype. Really nice shape, 128k miles.
was running great then the transmission fault is being displayed, cruise not available, and @ about 3000 rpm the transmission would make funny noises and feel like it’s slipping.
And about a week after that, it started running like crap, rough idle, and would buck and hesitate like crazy.
I had a mechanic plug into his analyzer, and bunch of codes came up. He suggested a tune up. So I started with plug, and learned quite a bit about the intake manifold...
well car still ran like crap... then I joined this forum,
ive changed pcv, pcv hose, and imt Orings. Running better but not right yet.
and I drained transmission fluid and added 6 qts, that didn’t help the transmission.
ive a fuel filter to change next but not sure where to go next?
or how exactly to check all the vacuum lines and hoses?
and I bought upper intake gaskets, think that will help?
Reading this forum, keeping me positive. I don’t think it’s a lemon.
thanks,
MikeT

Welcome to the forums Mike,
Throwing parts at a Jaguar soon becomes very expensive. For best advice, post the actual codes. Grant's advice in post #3 about the battery could save you a lot of grief as a partly discharged or failing one will throw all kinds of weird codes..
It sounds like you've already found your way to the X-Type forum so there's no need for a link to it from me. The 'HOW TO' thread at the top is a good place to start for information on regular issues.
You can also use the US Northeast Region forum by following this link https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/us-northeast-35/ to find other members in your region.
Enjoy the forums.
Graham
