#2766 of 2773 Re: Jaguar 2000 XJ8-L - Chain Tensioner Replacement [als961] by denham Sep 21, 2009 (12:53 pm)
Replying to: als961 (Sep 21, 2009 10:56 am) Yes it will take 12 hours or more if you go into the core and replace all. The top Tensioner is the problem child and why replace good parts that can last for years? I purchased my Tensioner from Jaguar Cleveland PH:440-542-0601 and received via UPS total cost for both $152.17 parts number CA21511 C2A1512 for the new design. When you unbolt the cam shaft, lift the rear and take the chain off the Tensioner and replace. Do not take the chain off the cam shaft. Anyone who has a Jag. XJ8 should replace these with the new design, and they should have been recalled but Ford is now out of the loop.

Replying to: christchurch (Feb 20, 2001 10:54 pm) cc, i drive a xj8, it been a bit quarky but a great. I'd buy it again. The 98 will have more and better technology. The v8 has DOHC. Seems too have a smoother feel. high mileage isn't as important as the maintenance history. Also, you can make minor repairs all day but a beat interior or worn out paint is difficult and expensive to overcome.   YOu should get one-They are an experience to drive!! Good Luck!!

Replying to: jaglover2 (Jun 28, 2009 3:24 am) Sorry so late-If you have a coolant leak your coolant levels will fall. It may be just a worn or dirty serpintine belt replace that and see if your issue stops, Good luck.

Replying to: afrahka (Oct 22, 2009 2:36 am) Try disconnecting the battery under the hood, on the passenger side of the firewall. You can open the trunk manually with a key and disconnect the battery there too. Good luck. Replies to this message: afrahka (Oct 28, 2009 8:16 am)
