How to change the spark plugs on a 2016 Jaguar XF 3.0 supercharged engine

[@josephgriego3318]

This was an excellent video, thank you! Right now, i have a 2016 jaguar xf premium v6 that cranks but will not start. 74k miles, and it's been a headache 😂

That could be a tough one! There's a whole lot of things it could be. Could be a security issue killing the spark. Could be a crank sensor killing the spark, maybe a fuel issue. Are you showing any codes on the car?

You’re my savior. I’m about to do this on a 2015 XF. Although a slightly different engine compartment, it’s similar enough to use yours as a guide. Thank you!!!

Glad I could help! One thing to watch for that I didn't realize I did until a couple days later. If yours is like mine, there's a plug in one of the pipes coming out of the coolant reservoir. Be careful not to knock it off. I knocked mine off and didn't notice. Then when I drove the car a couple days later coolant started spewing out of the reservoir and my car almost overheated! I knocked it off trying to put the rubber cover back on top the valve cover. I was worried about not breaking the coolant pipes and didn't even notice I had knocked off the plug.

The XF that we have has a huge fuse box on the left side of the engine and a coolant reservoir tank up higher towards the windshield. It’s making taking those rubber/foam pieces out extremely difficult. Any suggestions??

@@DynamiteSportsCards Just looked at some pics of the engine bay you have. I see how that might be a problem. I would probably try to take the coolant reservoir loose (probably 2-3 screws) and move it to the side if the hoses allow. If not, you'll probably have to extract the coolant from the reservoir and then remove it.

[@bigdodd]

you may even have to remove the 2 coolant hoses that go the intercooler on each side so you can slide the rubber covers out more easily.

Looks like you upgraded to the aluminum/metal water pipes, any issues so far? How many mileage?

Did it help with the rough idling?

[@bigdodd]

Yes, it definitely did!

A Coolant in the low level?

[@bigdodd]

Are you asking if my coolant was low?
