This factory service and repair manual for the 2001 Jaguar XK8 is built around the 4.0L V8 (VIN C) that came in your car, so the torque values, clearances, and diagnostic steps you follow are the ones Jaguar engineered for this specific powertrain and trim rather than a generic XK8 approximation.

Known issues on the 2001 XK8. One recall is on federal record for this model year, covering the fuel system: certain aftermarket FRAM replacement fuel filters used on the vehicle were fitted with a connector that didn't meet spec, so the O-ring may not seat correctly at the fuel line connection, risking an inadequate seal, a fuel leak, and a possible fire if an ignition source is present. Owners have filed 10 complaints for the year, and no technical service bulletins are logged. The factory diagnostic and repair procedures behind the fuel system are here.
Whether you're inspecting the fuel filter connection, chasing a leak, or working through a scheduled service, it keeps you on the OEM procedure and correct specification for your specific 2001 XK8.
