Built around the 1998 Jaguar XJ8 and nothing else, this factory service and repair manual is tied to the exact year, engine and trim of the car in front of you, so the values Jaguar specified for this vehicle are the ones you work to rather than a figure carried over from an adjacent model year.
Engines
- 4.0L V8 Gas
Trims
- Base Sedan 4-Door
- L Sedan 4-Door
Known issues on the 1998 XJ8. One recall is on federal record for this model year, and it covers the gasoline fuel system: certain Fram replacement fuel filters, P/N G3727, were built with a connector that was not manufactured to Honeywell's specification, so the O-ring may not seat correctly on the fuel line. That condition may cause an inadequate seal at the connection, potentially leading to a fuel leak, and in the presence of an ignition source a fire could occur. Owners have filed 84 complaints for the year.
Whether you are chasing a leak at the fuel filter connection or working through scheduled service on the 4.0L V8, it holds you to Jaguar's own procedure and specification for this 1998 XJ8.
