3.2.2 ENGINE - GEARBOX/ TRANSMISSION
ASSEMBLY, RENEW
SRO 12.37.01/90
The engine /transmission unit on the V12 6.0 liter model is mounted on three engine mounting / bracket assemblies
fitted to the front crossmember on either side of the engine bay. The engine/ transmission rear mount is a mounting
bracket and spring assembly fitted and secured to body underframe longitudinal members. For access to remove the
engine carry
out the following procedures:
WARNING: WHEN WORKING WITHIN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT, KEEP CLEAR OF THE RADIATOR COOLING
FANS AS THEY COULD START WITHOUT WARNING, EVEN IF THE ENGINE IS NOT RUNNING.
. Remove the hood, see SRO 76.16.01, section 13.
. Remove the two air cleaner assemblies, see SRO’s 19.10.01 & 19.10.02.
. Remove the engine cover, see SRO 12.29.93 (V12 Engine Service Manual).
Depressurize the fuel system, see SRO 19.50.02, section 5.1.
In line with the relevant SRO’s and sections, remove all appropriate obstructing parts, including their fixing and
. Disconnect all mechanical and isolate all electrical linkages leading to and from the engine.
. De-gas the air conditioning system, see section 14, Charge Recovery (System depressurization).
Disconnect
the battery.
mounting arrangements.
CAUTION: Do
not vent refrigerant directly to the atmosphere and always use Jaguar approved recovery/recycle/ra charge equipment.
Drain the engine oil, see 3.2.3 this section.
Drain the coolant, see SRO 26.10.01, section 4.1.
WARNING: DO NOT REMOVE THE HEADER TANK PRESSURE CAP WHILE THE ENGINE IS HOT. IF THE CAP MUST
BE REMOVED, PROTECT THE HANDS AGAINST ESCAPING STEAM AND SLOWLY TURN THE CAP ANTI- CLOCKWISE UNTIL THE EXCESS PRESSURE CAN ESCAPE. LEAVE THE CAP IN THIS POSITION UNTIL ALL
STEAM AND PRESSURE HAS ESCAPED AND THEN REMOVE THE CAP COMPLETELY.
Before
lifting the complete engine/transmission unit with an engine hoist from the engine bay, ensure that two engine
lifting brackets (tool 18G. 1465) are secured equallyspaced to the inlet manifold studs. The four engine lifting brackets
should be positioned towards the front and the rear of the assembly. Ensure the front of thevehicle is jacked
up secure- ly on stands when removing the assembly.

3.2.3 ENGINE OIL, RENEW
SRO 12.60.00
. Undo and remove the sump plug positioned at the rear of
the sump, drain the engine oil into a suitable receptacle
and dispose of
it in a safe and environmentally friendly
manner.
. Replenishtheengineoiltothecorrect level (1 Fig. 1) onthe
dipstick.
1ynfa: If the '0' ring on the on the filler cap is damaged, re- move the '0' ring and clean the groove. Secure a
new '0' ring in position using silicon sealant. Treat
the screw threads with copper grease, and grease
the top face of the oil filler with Hylosil lubricant.
When the oil is renewed, start the engine, wait for the oil
light to extinguish and switch off the engine for 30 sec- onds.
. Finally remove and wipe clean the dip stick
(Fig. l), check the oil level - replenish as necessary.
For recommended engine oil refer to Appendix AI. Fig.

3.2.4
OIL FILTER CARTRIDGE, RENEW
SRO 12.60.04
The white oil filter cartridge displaying the Jaguar logo, is lo- cated on the lower left-hand side of the engine, near side of
the sump. Access for removing the cartridge is from under- neath the vehicle (Fig. 2).
Remove the catalyst heat shield (where fitted) and use a coil
spring type filter wrench to remove the cartridge.
Start and run the engine for a few seconds to charge the
filter, then stop the engine and
checkthe oil level. Replenish

3.2.5 OIL COOLER, RENEW
SRO 12.60.68
The oil cooler is located below the radiator, behind the front
bumper and is fitted to the radiator lower mounting using
two securing bolts. The cooler feed pipe comprising several
sections and return pipe (Fig.
1) are connected to the oil
cooler by means of easily detachable quick
-fit connectors.
3.2.6 FRONT ENGINE MOUNTING BRACKET
SRO 12.45.01 LH
SRO 12.45.03 RH
Each of the two engine mounting bracket assemblies com- prises a hydraulic mount (1) secured to an engine side
mounting bracket (2) which in turn is bolted to the lower en- gine housing. The engine mounting heat shield (3) is fixed
to the hydraulic mount studs (41, protruding through the
centre hole of the engine side mounting bracket.
The front of the engine complete with attached mounting
bracket assemblies is seated on support brackets welded to
the front crossmember and is secured to the brackets by a
single fixing arrangement comprising bolts and washers.
. Jack up the vehicle and secure the engine hoist (Service
Tool MS53 C) to lifting eyes of the front engine lifting
brackets
Remove the front engine mounting bracket assembly to
front crossmember fixing bolts.
Thesecan be accessedvia two round openings positioned underneath the cross- member.
Remove any obstructing parts preventing the front end of
engine from being lifted from its seating.
Lift the front end of the engine /transmission unit slightly
and detach the front mounting bracket assemblies from
the lower engine housing.
