General Remarks

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 6 other vehicles, including the 2008 Jaguar S-Type, 2007 Jaguar S-Type, 2006 Jaguar S-Type, 2005 Jaguar S-Type, and 2004 Jaguar S-Type. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE: Removing fuses and disconnecting electrical components causes the engine control module (ECM) to log an error message. After the measurements have been carried out this error message should be cleared from memory by connecting to the Jaguar Approved Diagnostic System.
NOTE: Only check the compression pressure with the valves set to the prescribed clearance (if this can be adjusted).

The compression pressure should be checked with the engine at operating temperature.
