Common Issues Found in the Jaguar XK8
The Jaguar XK8 is a luxury grand tourer launched by Jaguar Cars in 1996. Renowned for its elegance and powerful performance, the XK8 has its share of common issues that owners may encounter over time. Here are some of the well-known concerns:
- Engine Cooling System Failures:Â The XK8 has been known to suffer from problems related to its cooling system, including radiator leaks and faulty thermostats, leading to overheating.
- Tensioner and Timing Chain Issues:Â If not addressed promptly, premature wear of the timing chain and tensioners in early models can cause significant engine damage.
- Transmission Failures:Â Some XK8 models exhibit issues with automatic transmissions, such as sudden failure or rough shifting, often due to old transmission fluid or failed solenoids.
