#6 of 10 JAGUAR XJ8 by denham Aug 17, 2007 (9:58 am)
I purchased a 1998 xj8 in like new condition, and after reading some of the problems such as the secondary timing tensioners I started calling the Jag.dealers ( I called two) one wanted $4500 if all needed replacement and $2500 if only the secondary tensioners needed replacement. The second dealer wanted $1500 for replacement of the two secondary tensioners only. I also ask about replacing a front wheel bearing and the labor not bearing was over $400. I have a small shop and I relaced the wheel bearing total cost $41.60 in about two hours. The tensioners were next and took less than four hours for replacement as all you need do is remove the valve cover and lift up the cam shaft with timing chain and relace the tensioner. (Yes one tensioner was cracked) The cost of upkeep and repairs is what hurts most for Jaguar cars, if I did not have my on shop and able to make most of my own repairs I would never own a Jaguar of any type.
