This manual is built specifically for the 2002 Jaguar XK8, matched down to the year, the 4.0L V8 (VIN C) engine, and trim, so the torque values, wiring diagrams, and service procedures inside are the ones Jaguar actually published for this car, not a generic stand-in from another XK8 model year.
Engines
- 4.0L V8 (VIN C) Gas
Trims
- Base Convertible 2-Door
- Base Coupe 2-Door
Known issues on the 2002 XK8. One recall is on federal record for this model year, covering the fuel system: certain replacement fuel filters were built with a connector that does not meet spec, so the O-ring may not seat correctly on the fuel line, which can allow an inadequate seal at the connection, a fuel leak, and, near an ignition source, a fire. No complaints have been filed with NHTSA for the year. The factory diagnostic and repair procedures behind that fuel system are here.
From a fuel filter and line inspection to a full service interval, it keeps you on the OEM procedure and the correct specification for your specific 2002 XK8.
CERTAIN REPLACEMENT FUEL FILTERS, FRAM BRAND NAME P/N G3727, WITH DATE CODES X52911 THROUGH X60801 SEQUENTIALLY OR X600141 AND A MEXICO COUNTRY OR ORIGIN MARKING ON THE FUEL FILTER HOUSING MANUFACTURE
THIS CONDITION MAY CAUSE AN INADEQUATE SEAL AT THE CONNECTION, POTENTIALLY LEADING TO A FUEL LEAK. I
HONEYWELL WILL NOTIFY OWNERS AND REPLACE THE FUEL FILTERS FREE OF CHARGE. THE RECALL BEGAN ON OCTOB
