⚙️ Engine Specifications

Engine Options Typical:

While specific engine variants aren't detailed in the product info, typical X358 engines include the 4.2L V8 (naturally aspirated and supercharged) and the 2.7L V6 diesel. The manual would cover all factory-offered powertrains for the model years.

Performance Data:

The manual would contain detailed specifications for horsepower, torque, and performance figures for each engine variant, crucial for diagnostics and tuning.

Injection Type:

Likely multi-point fuel injection (MPI) or direct injection (DI) depending on the engine, with detailed diagrams and service procedures.

🔧 Transmission

Transmission Types:

Typically 6-speed automatic transmissions (e.g., ZF 6HP series) for petrol engines and often automatic for diesel engines. Manual transmission options were less common on this model.

Transmission Variants:

The manual will detail any variations in transmission units based on engine and driveline configuration (e.g., RWD vs. AWD if applicable).

Transmission Features:

Coverage would include electronic control modules, shift solenoids, torque converter operation, and fluid service procedures.

📐 Dimensions

Chassis Type:

Monocoque aluminium body structure.

Wheelbase:

Detailed dimensions would be provided for wheelbase, length, width, and height, crucial for chassis work.

Curb Weight:

The manual would specify curb weights for different configurations, important for load calculations and transport.

🛡️ Safety Features

Safety Features Coverage:

Detailed information on SRS (Supplemental Restraint System), including airbag modules, seatbelt pre-tensioners, and diagnostic procedures for the occupant safety systems.

Active Safety:

Coverage likely includes ABS (Anti-lock Braking System), EBD (Electronic Brakeforce Distribution), Traction Control (TC), and Stability Control (DSC - Dynamic Stability Control).

Passive Safety:

Information on body structure integrity, crumple zones, and passenger safety cell design principles.

💡 Technology Features

Infotainment Coverage:

While not strictly a repair manual, it would likely detail the operation and basic troubleshooting of the central touchscreen, audio system, and navigation system, including relevant modules and wiring.

Driver Aid Systems:

Details on adaptive cruise control, parking sensors, and rearview camera systems (if equipped), including calibration and sensor diagnostics.

Connectivity Features:

Information on communication modules, such as Bluetooth or cellular systems for telematics, and associated diagnostic procedures.

🔧 Maintenance

Scheduled Maintenance:

The manual will provide detailed service schedules for oil changes, filter replacements, brake inspections, fluid flushes, and other periodic maintenance items, typically based on mileage or time.

Engine Oil:

Specific oil viscosity grades (e.g., SAE 0W-30 or 5W-30) and API service classifications (e.g., API SN, ILSAC GF-5) would be listed. Likely requiring specific Jaguar-approved synthetic oils.

Coolant:

Information on the type of engine coolant (e.g., OAT - Organic Acid Technology) and correct mixture ratios, often a specific Jaguar-specified pink or orange coolant.

Transmission Fluid:

Details on automatic transmission fluid type (e.g., ATF-SP4 or a ZF-specific fluid) and capacity, crucial for maintaining transmission health.

Brake Fluid:

Specification for brake fluid type (e.g., DOT 4) and recommended replacement intervals.

Common Wear Items:

The manual's troubleshooting section would indirectly address common issues like air suspension leaks (if equipped), ignition coil failures, or electronic module malfunctions common to this era of Jaguar.

Recommended Inspections:

Guidance on inspecting specific components prone to wear or failure, such as drive belts, hoses, and suspension bushings.

📚 Vehicle History

Jaguar Legacy:

The X358 represents the continued evolution of Jaguar's luxury sedan lineage, building upon the established 'XJ' nameplate with its characteristic blend of performance and refinement.

X358 Context:

The X358 is a significant update to the X350 generation, featuring revised styling (notably the front fascia) and often updated technology and powertrain options to remain competitive in the luxury segment.

Manufacturing Location:

Jaguar vehicles, including the X358, were primarily manufactured in the United Kingdom.

🏆 Awards & Recognition
