Jag tech, id start with cylinder leak down test to confirm if head gasket is actually bad on that side. I’ve never seen the intercooler leak internal before, (could always be a possibility) otherwise not much ways for coolant to get into cylinder other than head gasket. Common problems for 3.0L are y-pipes under super charger looks like yours have been updated water pumps were real common cross over pipe from head to head are real common on the back I usually do y-pipes crossover pipe and water pump all in one shot while charger is off. Other common issues is pcv valve it’s on passenger side valve cover it’s round disk they tear internally cause lean code bank 1. I can hear your supercharger spring rattling easy to determine if that or chains take intake off disconnect driver MAF can do it from top if you look take belt off super charger start it up and shut down listen for chain rattle on start up and shut down. Those vacuum lines you found in the back looked more like coolant lines could be old stuff the hard cooling lines are really brittle after this long. Yes you should reset battery monitor with scan tool honestly if your not worried about the low batter messages on right now and are still getting a feel for the car it’s really not gonna hurt a whole lot id still recommend resetting it down the line and be careful with some scan tools I have a cheap autel and for some reason the jags hate it turns them into a brick lol it’s nice to see people discovering jags these cars have been over looked for a long time good to see!
For what it is worth, want to say that it is good that Jake has a good friend you. Hate when a person hits a rough time, but having a friend is priceless. All the best to Jake & JR. Bring the cat back!
Check the water to air intercoolers on the upper intake manifold and see if they're weeping coolant into the ports. It could very well be the cause of your issue.
It's only on the earlier 4.2s that did that. These are external in the bumper. Worth a shot taking off the top of the supercharger though. 18 bolts and he'll be able to see the intake runners.
There's 2 intercooler bricks on mounted to the supercharger lid on the 3.0 and 5.0, so Stefan might be on to something if one of the bricks were damaged during removal or install.
Our shop in Texas specializes in these cars. We do on average about 2 per month on the jag engines. Yes head gaskets and chains are the headache. They over heat because the plastic hoses under the super charger break and start leaking.
kind of like the plastic coolant elbows underneath the alternator on a GM 3800 V6; they are a known weak spot in the cooling system besides the Lower Intake Manifold gaskets on the Series IIs.
Where are you located in Texas? I have a 2017 F-Pace and I'm losing coolant and getting what I believe are exhaust gases in the coolant system. No milky oil. But definitely the white smoke like in this video. Y pipe and others have been replaced. Then thermostat split open about 6 months later. Replaced that one myself. But now I need to figure out if I'm looking at a head gasket with this loss of more coolant and the coolant system getting pressurized.
I don’t understand why so many people are obsessed with bloody V8 swaps in the Jag? Have they never heard the V6 and how damn good it sounds??? Yes V8s are cool but not everything needs a V8. Other engines sound good too - inline 5 and 6’s, boxer 4’s and 6’s, V10…. Great car Ross.
Check out Sam Cracs video with the 5.0 supercharged jag, he had the same issue with the supercharger/Range Rover and fixed it for like $50. If I remember right it’s a connection plate between the supercharger shafts that breaks. Just an idea.
Check the air to water intercoolers below the supercharger. I did also send you some pictures on Instagram about cracked blocks and engine removals for F-TYPE etc.
Great video! The centre vents not coming up is a common problem with the F-Type. There's loads on the internet about it - i believe you can buy a new bar for the actuator to fix it
These cars aren't even that old. I can't believe how many failures they suffer. POS. My 15 yr old Honda Fit has had precisely zero failures, other than one battery. It even has the original tires still (I don't drive it much, but it's time for new ones).
your honda fit??????? ur comparing apples and oranges bud ur fit has nothing close to the moving parts or electrical parts this jag does.... LMAO ur fit is BASIC and is a commuter car ..price of your car new compared to that jag is substantially HUGE
Every time I see you with a car that is covered with leaves, bird crap, etc I feel like jumping in my car and driving to your shop loaded with detailing stuff.
its either head gaskets or the water to air cooler at the top of the supercharger, pull the first thing off the top of that motor, flip it over ( cover coolant line ports and pressure test, there are two internal heat exchangers that feed right into the intake ports right on both sides of the supercharger..... also you must rest the BMS battery monitoring system and make sure you put in the exact battery it had and is a LI-ion battery.
There is a known issue with some F-Types where the internal computer(s) do not go back to sleep after using the OBDII port. Quick fix is to disconnect the battery for a few moments when done with the port. Looking forward to more!!!
No Problem. Had the same issue on mine as well. Your Supercharger also sounds not so healthy. It sounds like marbles when you start it. Supercharger Coupler is most of the time the Problem. There is a solid coupler made of silicone on ebay.(forgot the name of the company - its a green one) Half a day of work but its fixed for about 70 bucks. The field Fix parts from Jag dont do the job (same parts as before just cheaper 400 bucks)
Carly is great but you aren't buying a tool, even if you buy the upgraded version, you're buying a subscription. I bought the old version in 2017 before they switched pricing models & have been using it for a while. Best thing I ever did was use it to turn off that stupid map warning on the nav every time you get in the car. lol
JR, when you get a chance reset the battery adaptations. The Autels can do it. It must be done or else everything goes wonky. It's like programming those BMW batteries but not doing it -actually- has consequences hahahha! Charging faults, "low battery start engine" AEB faults, etc. Also Howdy!
Definitely disconnect the battery after every time the OBD2 port is used .. the Jag does not turn off properly once the CAN bus is used by a 3rd party device. Otherwise the battery will drain after 2 days
@@henryli4477 I have not found a solution to the Jag failing to shut down, besides disconnecting the battery for 15-20 seconds. Some Ftype owners say that they can use certain OBD2 equipment with out needing to reset the car after use. So it is probably due to a communication interaction between the device and the Jaguar’s CAN bus.
Just so you guys know, now you have a new battery the centre console vent should raise fully with a little use. For some reason the mechanism doesn't like a low battery!
I love F-Types and I drove quite a few when I worked at Jaguar. I almost had a heart attack though, when you briefly mentioned LS swapping it... and then reassuring me when you said you weren't going to... lol! But it doesn't sound quite like it should, the supercharger sounds different and the exhaust is ridiculous, the original one with the valve open sounds awesome as is! Good luck on saving this one, I'm excited to see what you'll need to do to it!
And mine was a 2011 XK Jaguar convertible luckily I was just a couple blocks away from the Jaguar dealership where they could take care of it but like I said in the earlier comments it was the fuel injectors and it only did that exhaust thing and spit and sputtering
ALWAYS change the oil after water has been inside the engine. Always change the oil before starting a car that's been sitting for a long time. Running that engine with that nasty shit in there is going to cause serious issues. You say it's "head gaskets" but you have tons of nasty shit in the oil and the engine that will cause that.
Everything I read about these jag 3.0 and 5.0 engines says not to waste time with head gaskets and just replace the engine. These things are notorious for timing and cooling issues.
Agree 100%, my 5.0 had a hydraulic timing chain tensioner fail and destroyed the engine. Any of their supercharged engines are ticking time bombs. Once they're out of warranty its best to dump them.
@@rick5976 I spent $5500 to have the chains, guides, and tensioners replaced on the 5.0 in my 2013 LR4 recently. Not cheap but cheaper than a new engine when the timing slips.
@@K2489S The sad part is Jaguar has had this problem with the 5.0 engine since 2010. There was a class action suit against them from XKR owners 2011 & up but not sure how that ended. They know how to design a beautiful car but these ongoing engine problems are inexcusable.
Thanks John just ordered my Carly I think I have one of the worst Buicks ever built its a 2012 Buick Enclave seems everyday something is either dinging or engine is flashing in CAP LOCKS lol, but thanks again for another great video looking forward to more on the JAG.
More than likely it's electrical. We had a 2011 traverse so I know what you are referring to. Try running your own engine and transmission ground wires, that might help clear up some of the issues
That engine did not sound nearly as great on that second start. There was a bit of a knock/clack that sounds like a potential issue worse than just a head gasket or something. Could have been the supercharger though, which clearly has something going on with it.
@@zxggwrt Kind of, it's part of the snout of the supercharger behind the pulley, and once they start going bad it can sound like marbles rolling around in a metal can.
JR, I'd just throw everything in a bucket of hot, soapy water. Then I'd consider what could be reused, instead of just trashing everything from the trunk. Well, each to their own.. anyway great purchase.
They are waiting on parts for the primary pump. The pressure-volume compensator was stuck preventing machine from reaching full pressure. They were destroyed by corrosion. 22 weeks to deliver.
This is definitely going to be a great series. And look forwad to see everything run.......or this is going to be a very very short series. And we are going to see this head to the dismantlers...
I'm on my fourth (XK8, two XKRs and currently an F-Type) and have never found them expensive on maintenance. Some parts are pricey (it's a Jaaaag FFS!) but if you find a decent independent it's no more expensive (IME) than maintaining an "ordinary" car.
My Audi has the same H8 battery and it lives up in the middle under the window cowl. That monster is such a pain to get in and out. I am considering relocating to the trunk just because it would be easier to deal with.
The posts under the bonnet on Jags are usually just to provide power to open the boot to access the battery. And then a jump pack should be placed directly on the battery, not on those posts.
These are Americans, do you really expect them to do anything properly? They didn't even check if the engine had spark plugs or inspect the cylinders for leaks or scoring before they went ahead and started it.
@@Exemplifiera When an engine turning over squirts out rusty water, I'd also want to do a little more investigation that just putting the old plugs in and sending it. Even a few cents in fogging oil could save a LOT of damage on the next run.
@Dylan Farnum I've owned multiple XF's (same engine), and performed cooling system repairs on them all. Original factory coolant can be orange, but if it's a 2014 that should have been replaced already. My cars had many different colours of coolant from the Jaguar dealer. Pentosin 'pink' is the type I always used for a flush. And yes, I'd still be investigating if there was pure water in the cylinders, or gold, or anything other than air. Chucking the plugs in and cranking it without checking you're not going to hydrolock it first would be a good idea, just in my opinion. Burst coolant line (it's actually the brake booster vacuum pump line, btw) or not, coolant is certainly getting into cylinders somewhere looking at the steamshow. If they had put the plugs in first, there's a big chance that would have happened. Relying on dumb luck with a car in that profit margin territory doesn't seem like a smart plan to me. Setting the risk of that aside, do you think it's a good idea to start a car that's had coolant sitting in the cylinder for a while without checking it out a little more thoroughly than saying 'oh it's oil, lol' and moving on? Let those coolant crystals scrape as much of the cylinder wall and valves as you can, right? With a little luck it can foil the injector too, they are only about 300 bucks each. Good plan! I'm glad you don't work on anything I drive. So yes, I do know better from hard and sometimes expensive experience. Thanks for noticing!
@@dylanfarnum1488 I think your sadly talking shite there. I sold all my XF's in great condition and I still see them around now and again. There are lots of places coolant can meet up with intake air and none of them have anything to do with head gaskets, cracked blocks, or holed cylinders (that doesn't even make sense, how does a holed cylinder only get coolant in the cylinder and no other symptom??). And no, I wouldn't replace an engine of this expense and rarity for a damaged cylinder either. 'new engine' is a serious last resort, good ones are very hard to find. If you don't know and have nothing to add, that's OK: just please don't post Ill informed nonsense. You're not helping.
@@dylanfarnum1488 that's for the non Jag part, buttercup. (Which is fine, it's Bosch, good enough) but you're still going to be out 300 though honey bunch, because they need coded and flow calibrated in SSD or the ECU will throw a check engine light after a couple of minutes. Unless you have Jag SSD access (I did have when I worked on mine and I can't imagine doing work on the car without it). I'd have thought you'd have known that as an expert? That's nice you have an f-type AWD, I'm guessing you haven't had it too long because you don't seem to know that much about it's workings.
I dunno, is this car trashed? It looks like it's in pretty decent shape. It was left outside for 6-9 months and it's filthy. Other than that, and a coolant leak and a few assorted Jaguar design flaws, it seems fine. It's going to buff right out.
Great job on this 👏 I have the same s4 in the background. I've started following y I u because of the s4 lol. 2001 b5 s4 stage 1 giac tuned on stasis coilovers I love my s4

They are related to stop start and can be removed if stop start is disabled.

The air charge cooler is the top of the super charger. I have seen those leak.
This is definitely going to be a great series. And look forwad to see everything run.......or this is going to be a very very short series. And we are going to see this head to the dismantlers...
Love the progress, I’ve had 2 Jags in my life! Love them, but expensive for maintenance.🤔👍👍👍
I'm on my fourth (XK8, two XKRs and currently an F-Type) and have never found them expensive on maintenance. Some parts are pricey (it's a Jaaaag FFS!) but if you find a decent independent it's no more expensive (IME) than maintaining an "ordinary" car.
Man. That clanking noise really sounds like it's not in the rotating assembly, but might be the supercharger coupler (like the V8 supercharged ones).
Metal from the trunk goes in the trash. Random hood strut on the street gets recycled.
My Audi has the same H8 battery and it lives up in the middle under the window cowl. That monster is such a pain to get in and out. I am considering relocating to the trunk just because it would be easier to deal with.
Nice to see my former car (Opel GT aka Saturn Sky) and my current one (F-Type roadster) in the same frame 😅 Also same color as mines ;)
JR, The key fob battery is probably weak and needs replacing.
What was with all those wires in the bottom of the trunk?
The posts under the bonnet on Jags are usually just to provide power to open the boot to access the battery.
And then a jump pack should be placed directly on the battery, not on those posts.
These are Americans, do you really expect them to do anything properly? They didn't even check if the engine had spark plugs or inspect the cylinders for leaks or scoring before they went ahead and started it.
@@Exemplifiera When an engine turning over squirts out rusty water, I'd also want to do a little more investigation that just putting the old plugs in and sending it. Even a few cents in fogging oil could save a LOT of damage on the next run.
@Dylan Farnum I've owned multiple XF's (same engine), and performed cooling system repairs on them all. Original factory coolant can be orange, but if it's a 2014 that should have been replaced already. My cars had many different colours of coolant from the Jaguar dealer. Pentosin 'pink' is the type I always used for a flush.
And yes, I'd still be investigating if there was pure water in the cylinders, or gold, or anything other than air. Chucking the plugs in and cranking it without checking you're not going to hydrolock it first would be a good idea, just in my opinion.
Burst coolant line (it's actually the brake booster vacuum pump line, btw) or not, coolant is certainly getting into cylinders somewhere looking at the steamshow.
If they had put the plugs in first, there's a big chance that would have happened. Relying on dumb luck with a car in that profit margin territory doesn't seem like a smart plan to me.
Setting the risk of that aside, do you think it's a good idea to start a car that's had coolant sitting in the cylinder for a while without checking it out a little more thoroughly than saying 'oh it's oil, lol' and moving on? Let those coolant crystals scrape as much of the cylinder wall and valves as you can, right? With a little luck it can foil the injector too, they are only about 300 bucks each. Good plan!
I'm glad you don't work on anything I drive.
So yes, I do know better from hard and sometimes expensive experience. Thanks for noticing!
@@dylanfarnum1488 I think your sadly talking shite there. I sold all my XF's in great condition and I still see them around now and again.
There are lots of places coolant can meet up with intake air and none of them have anything to do with head gaskets, cracked blocks, or holed cylinders (that doesn't even make sense, how does a holed cylinder only get coolant in the cylinder and no other symptom??).
And no, I wouldn't replace an engine of this expense and rarity for a damaged cylinder either. 'new engine' is a serious last resort, good ones are very hard to find.
If you don't know and have nothing to add, that's OK: just please don't post Ill informed nonsense. You're not helping.
@@dylanfarnum1488 that's for the non Jag part, buttercup. (Which is fine, it's Bosch, good enough) but you're still going to be out 300 though honey bunch, because they need coded and flow calibrated in SSD or the ECU will throw a check engine light after a couple of minutes. Unless you have Jag SSD access (I did have when I worked on mine and I can't imagine doing work on the car without it).
I'd have thought you'd have known that as an expert?
That's nice you have an f-type AWD, I'm guessing you haven't had it too long because you don't seem to know that much about it's workings.
That is exactly what I would expect the trunk of a Jag in that condition would look like. Cars that get trashed are usually full of trash.
I dunno, is this car trashed? It looks like it's in pretty decent shape. It was left outside for 6-9 months and it's filthy. Other than that, and a coolant leak and a few assorted Jaguar design flaws, it seems fine. It's going to buff right out.
Great job on this 👏 I have the same s4 in the background. I've started following y I u because of the s4 lol. 2001 b5 s4 stage 1 giac tuned on stasis coilovers I love my s4
Pistons will clean up nice with all that coolant going through.
Finally another video on the jaaaagggg 😏
hopefully a cheap fix! I love cheap fixes that turn into awesome deals!! I got my popcorn ready!!
You've got a James Bond smoke screen going for you
Thanks gabe
At first, I thought, why are you buying that Jag. Now I'm hoping you may have just got the deal of a lifetime. Fingers, toes, and eyes crossed.
How freaky! I bought that same battery from O'Reilly's today!!!! 48H6 Super Start Platinum AGM
Glad i work 2nd shift so i can enjoy a WatchJrGo video while i un wind from work.
Try your fuel injectors my Jack XK did that blowing white smoke barely ran it was the fuel injectors $4,000 later yep
It's your right Bank fuel injectors
One man's trash is a next man treasure 😂
