2013 Jaguar XJ Service and Repair Manual

Three engines were offered on the 2013 Jaguar XJ — a supercharged 3.0L V6 and two 5.0L V8s that Jaguar separates by VIN engine code, B and the supercharged T — across eight sedan trims from Base to L Ultimate. Specifications, torque sequences and service values differ between those builds, so the numbers you work to are the ones Jaguar published for this model year and this engine rather than a figure carried over from another XJ.

Known issues on the 2013 XJ. Three recalls are on federal record for this model year. The first covers the electrical system software: the generic software calibration installed on the Restraints Control Module may not meet the specification for proper operation of the Supplemental Restraint System, and vehicles carrying that software may put the occupants at an increased risk of injury in the event of a crash. The second covers the certification label, which is absent on affected cars — without it the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating, front and rear Gross Axle Weight Ratings, the manufacture date and the country of manufacture are not specified, and the vehicle could be overloaded, increasing the risk of a crash. The third covers the rear suspension: the toe links, the components that control the alignment of the rear wheels, can separate from the rear sub-frame, and a separation may result in a loss of vehicle stability and directional control, increasing the risk of a crash.

Verifying Restraints Control Module software, inspecting the rear toe links and their sub-frame mounts, servicing the supercharged V6 — the procedure and the specification stay matched to your 2013 XJ.
