Driveline
Introduction
The driveline is a standard type with the engine
position at the front and driven rear axle. This will
be the first time that Jaguar has used in-plant
driveline balancing to improve noise, vibration
and handling. The driveline is finely balanced at
the rear driveshaft joint. The centre bearing is
laser aligned during initial factory build.
The alloy rear engine mountings have two
variants, one for automatic transmission and one
for manual transmission. They are both
serviceable items. The V6 auto is the same as the
V8 but rotated in plan by 180 degrees. The rubber
mountings are carry over concept from the
current XJ and XK Series vehicles but are not
D.307.322
DRIVELINE ARRANGEMENTinterchangeable with them. Both automatic
transmission rubber mountings are common but
with a softer unique mount for the manual V6
transmission.
In service if they are replaced, ensure that there
are buffer gaps and that they are approximately
equal. Neither will be contaminated by lubricant
or automatic transmission fluid.
Driveshaft
The S-TYPE has a two-piece welded steel tube
driveshaft with a splined centre slip joint and
locking collar, the whole being aligned with the
body centreline. The driveshaft has rubber flex
couplings and a rubber, body-mounted, centre
bearing. For safety, the front tube is collapsible.

BRAKE BOOSTER Brake Booster
The brake booster is a Lucas unit mounted on the
engine bay bulkhead with a 25.4mm diameter
master cylinder and integral brake fluid reservoir.
NOTE: The reservoir is also a combined
brake/clutch reservoir for manual transmission
vehicles.
Twin vacuum boosters of 8 inch and 9 inch sizes
are fitted.
The DSC booster is different having integral
pressure transducers and solenoids with air
control valves for the booster. The transducers are
located on the brake master cylinder and are used
for pressure feedback, brake application and fail
safe operation. The booster is used to supply
brake pressure without driver input.
ABS operation is no different to current Jaguar
vehicles.
Parking Brake
The parking brake lever is mounted on the RH
side of the centre console for all models, with
conventional button operation as current XJ
sedan. It is a self-adjusting system operating on
the rear brake callipers. All models have a leather
grip.

Power Assisted Steering
Introduction
The Jaguar S-TYPE has a variable assist rack and
pinion steering gear and variable rack ratio. The
variable steering rack ratio reduces the number of
turns from lock to lock (2.8) to enhance parking
manoeuvrability whilst maintaining the on-centre
steering precision required at high speed. Full
power assistance is provided for parking. Steering
assistance decreases smoothly at a calibrated rate
to raise driver steering efforts as vehicle speed
increases.
Servicing
There are no carry over parts from XK or XJ Series
vehicles.
The rack is mounted to the rear of cross member
Number 2. The PAS pump is belt driven. A PAS
cooler matrix is located within the radiator
package.
Low PAS pump speeds problems are prevented by
increasing engine speed. A power steering
pressure (PSP) switch senses the demand on the
pump at low engine speeds and increases the
speed to a pre-set minimum.
Hose connections to the pump and the steering
gear are quickfit connectors. The quick connect
tube must be pushed into the existing tube nut
port, along the centreline. The assembly is
complete when the tube end bottoms out in the
port with an audible click/snap. Correct assembly
should be verified by pulling the quickfit tube end.
Servicing of the PAS line involves removal of the
quickfit nut. Replacement PAS lines are supplied
complete with quickfit nut and sealing washer. If
the joint is disturbed it is compulsory to replace
the PTFE sealing ring otherwise leaks are
inevitable. Replacement sealing washers may be
installed with the use of Service tool
D90P-3517-A.
Care must be taken when removing the quickfit
nut from the V6 engine pump as the pulley is
PHENOLIC and is susceptible to damage. The V8
pump installation provides a short jumper tube
from the pump to improve accessibility to the
high-pressure hose connection. The PAS pulley

64Control Panel
The control panel is a combined unit
incorporating the air conditioning control module
(A/CCM).
Heater/Evaporator and Blower
A single blower, heater and evaporator are fitted
to the passenger side of the vehicle behind the
fascia. Air intake is from the passenger side via
leaf screen slots (see page 16). A particle filter is
mounted forward of the bulkhead in a rain/water
collector box. Mounting of the heater/evaporator
unit and blower assembly is by three bulkhead
fixings and one locator pin.
Condensate drainage is integral with the
heater/evaporator unit and therefore has no
separate drain tubes. The heater matrix is a dual
heater unit with three heater pipes, two inlets of
16mm diameter and one outlet of 19mm
diameter.
D.412.217
Underbonnet Components
Both V6 and V8 engine configurations include a
water valve controlled heating (dual) system and
the valve is mounted behind the right-hand side
headlamp. The V8 engine system, as with current
cars, has a water pump to supplement idle water
flow through the heater and this is mounted on
the right-hand side of the cooling pack. The pump
is held in a mounting rubber, which is pushed
over two pillars on the rear of the fan shroud and
held with two screws.
Condenser
The black-painted aluminium condenser is located
to the front of the combi-cooler and mounts to its
end tanks. The condenser end tubes push into two
grommets, which are in turn held in two steel
brackets, screwed to the radiator end tanks. The
bottom of the condenser is screwed directly into
the radiator tanks. A radiator cooling duct clips
onto the condenser end tanks and also pushes
onto the lower radiator channel. The duct ensures
that all available airflow is directed through the
cooling module.

67 Pipework
The suction hose and liquid line are a one-piece
assembly. A single screw connects them to the air
conditioning unit manifold at the bulkhead. A
further screw fixing and push-in clip secures them
at the side of the engine bay. The liquid line fixed
to the cooling module then joins with a block
fitting and the suction hose connects with a quick
connect fitting and routes across the underneath
of the cooling module to the compressor. The
compressor suction and discharge hoses are also a
one piece assembly.
A pressure transducer is fitted to the discharge
hose as it connects to the rear of the condenser.
The high side charge port is situated on the
manifold connecting to the receiver drier whilst
the low side is adjacent to the compressor behind
the LH front wheel.
The compressor is a 9Occ scroll, which is variable
from 100% to 30%. Compressor is standard
specification to all vehicles although package
makes them unique to V6 and V8.

There are no panel diagnostics but PDU facility is
available with extensive capability, similar to
current XJ and XK Series.
System refrigerant is R134a. Vehicle charge weight
is 800 gms and charging is through the high side
charge port only.
Oil type is WSH-MIC231-B and refill quantity is
180 cc -220 cc.
Special tools are hose clamp pliers and air-
conditioning hoses spring lock de-coupler.
General information
Ensure that the grille at the base of the windshield
is kept clear of leaves, snow or other obstructions.
A solar sensor is mounted on top of the fascia, in
the centre of the defrost grille, and this should not
be covered.
The air conditioning system should be run briefly
at least once each week with a cold setting to
prevent the seals from drying out with subsequent
refrigerant leaks.
When the engine and vehicle interior are cold the
fan speed may be low until the engine has warmed
up, this avoids excessively cold air being blown
into the cabin.
