Whats the normal oil pressuer for a 83 xj6? I replaced the sensor but it runs about 19-20 while deiving then drops down close to 0 maybe 5...

Series 3??

Try doing this in massachusetts, taking that exhaust off, ain’t happening lol

THANK YOU! and a huge thank you for saying the torque specs. My jag needs this done and i read a few threads about it, but your video will helpany people for years to come.

thanks, your video let me know that i can't do it! 😭 I'm going to have to take it to the shop

I had a 90 DeVille the same color as yours with the analog dash though, loved that car, kept it till it was 15 years old and was still getting compliments on how nice it looked. The problems I had was a couple oil leaks which the dealer fixed, a radiator hose that went bad on vacation and a goodyear shop fixed with no charge for labor, a alternator bearing that costed $20 to replace because a friend removed it from the car and all the shop had to do was put the bearing in. When it got old though the brake lines rusted and cost $400 to fix. Most comfortable car I ever owned the seats were like an expensive sofa, could drive for 5 hours without stopping. I got up to 22 mpg on the highway if I did the speed limit. Sometimes I would think I was do 65 and look at the dash and see I had crept up to 80, but it rode so well and quiet that I didn't know I was going that fast. Doing 80 was effortless for that car, Wish they still made them like that.

what year is this GM Sir ?

Is your xj6 misfiring?

Kudos to Jesse to make such a big repair on the side of the road! Also Jesse, make sure to hit the 10 minutes mark when doing a video, as YT algo really prefers it, then it'll get much more views. It's how the system works! With a big job like this, it shouldn't be too difficult.

Very resourceful. I think the spindle nut is one time use only.

While trying to install, I broke the stolen part on the engine, but I put a longer bolt and it was fixed well. Is what I did considered safe and correct?

Nice video. Thanks. I was up for this until the brakes bit. Touching those is too much for me.

Don’t you have to burp it?

2-3 years ago, the X-Type Jags were still selling for good money here in Canada, but now, they are almost free. The reason is that they started to rust very badly with age, as well as the salt they put on the road during winter.

Where did you buy the car for $500?

Doing this job twice convinced me to sell mine lol. Valve cover gaskets leaked into the plug wells, fouled the plugs, fouled the cats and O2 sensor. I did the plugs and gaskets, a shop did the exhaust stuff. About a year later it started misfiring again, gaskets leaking into the plug wells AGAIN. Blegh! Best car I've ever driven in the snow though, 2003 with the viscous coupling. Absolutely phenomenal. Well mannered and tons of grip when you're behaving, RWD bias and just a bit tail happy when you're not.

Good video.

This video shows a XJR 1999 to 2003 can be expensive to maintain. Later cars had a better AJ33 engine. One they fixed the timing chains stretching issue and broken tensioners on later engines. But the body shape of the XJR and XJ8 had a cigar flat shape for the LWB.

Any time you remove the seats you vacuum all the crap underneath.

Hey Jessie is not an xj40 I have an 1991 vanden plas Idk if they are similar but I'm on my 4th fuel pump and I want to change to an in line fuel pump is that possible? If so any pointers on how to do it or videos showing how to do it thanks for your time love your video bro

4:41 Can the Idler pulley be removed and replaced from the tensioner as long as the tensioner can provide the enough tension to keep belt slippage from happening?

Thanks for the video Jesee; the problem I'm having is that there is a squeaky noise that I believe is coming from the tensioner pulley; it gets worst as I turn the AC on and engage a gear. Do you think it is the pulley? Thanks

I’m in Santa Clara, bout to get my 90 Deville as well. I appreciate the video🔥🤙🏽

How much for a job like this

might as well replace the water pump, timing chains, and oil pump. gearhead. ty

ty

Will be following along on your ownership of this car. Good luck with it! Jesse🍁

ياغالي انتبه من الاغاني انها حرام

Yeah!!! Chemical guys!!!

Oh 4 sure my dawg

I like to black out my chrome around the windows, slightly lower the car to having no wheel arch gap and stiff the suspension. My XJR car is a bit bouncy and wobbly taking corners at 85mph even with Sport modes CATS on.

You da man!!

Jesse beautiful informative honest video about Jags and Stealerships!

This is "normal" for the 1998+ XJ8! Jaguar went from a bullet-proof 1995-1997 XJ6 to excessive reliability issues with the 1998 XJ8! . Improvement did come about 2001, but still, the XJ8 was junk in comparison to the reliability of the XJ6!

Fly ride, jus got mine

Hi I have a 1988 xj6 that has the gm lt1 conversion wondering if you have had a conversion love your channel

Where did you order your filter from? The one from the link you provided says it fits our jags but it looks different. Missing another “hole” on the filter.

So far I'm at around a thousand a year for maintenance on my 1991 XJ40 that I own since spring 2021. That's by doing everything myself! So the XJR wasn't that bad in the end, for so many years. Nevertheless, I'd still check the upper timing chain tensionners when/if the valve cover gaskets needs to be done. Adam of Living with a Classic has a recent video doing that.

Lettuce begin! 😂 Have fun with your XJR!

Good job!

25k ,jeezzzz he was definitely in love with the car

22 mpg on the highway, 50 mpg in the city. Surley thats the other way round😅

Ha, it's a drug alright. I bought first XJ6 SERIES 1 IN 1980, liked it so much I sold at a profit and bought a Series 3, $6K (such a beautiful ride), then I added immaculate Daimler Majestic x300 LWB,$8K with 245 HP (same as Queen Elizabeth's car (she bought 2 of them) for 5% of what she paid,) then I added xj x306 Supercharged ($8K) Another stunning car for cheap - such POWER. (300HP??) Then I added immaculate Convertible xkR SUPERCHARGED 4litre - $30K oh WOW! Chucked me into the back of my seat and doesn't wanna quit at any speed. total dollars spent.... not much compared with a new BMW. Never looked at another car since - still have them all in my CAT CAGE. Don't wanna sell any of em. Nothing else as good. (space, pace and grace). All worth more now than what I paid -better return than my stock portfolio. MANY good well looked after used jags in my country (New Zealand. RHD). But ALL who have driven affirm that the old series 3 xj6 (pepper pot wheels) is STILL the best ride out of all of them. All bumps just go away and steering is crisp and light - just needs good TLC. Keep up the good stuff xj Jesse.

Good video Jesse, By any chance invite you to do a product review? We specifically produce LEDs for auto. We just emailed for an inquiry.

What is motor?1.6 or 2.0?

“120 bucks “ 😂I’ve been wanting one and you are the last reason i needed I buy this car thank you

I just bought my sister an 05 grand marquis with 132k miles for 500 bucks today

Heck yeah man. Looking forward to more of this car.

Thinking of buying a 97 xj6, those are xk8 wheels right? How do they fit on the car? How’s the drive?

I have the same car , same yr mine is knocking as I drive
