Changing the fuel pump on a 2001 Jaguar X Type 2.5 V6 Petrol Manual. Includes removing the seat, cutting the floor panel, removing the pump and changing the fuel sender. Not a job for the faint hearted but only takes two hours if you are clued up with good hand tools.
You need to bear in mind that these videos are for people who want to repair their own cars. My Jag isn’t worth more than £800. To remove the tank is £800 ($1000) worth of work which you can’t do without a workshop lift. First empty the tank - there’s no drain plug you need a siphon and pump. Lift the back seat out -easy enough. Prise the grommet from the floor panel and disconnect the wiring, Jack the car right up high. Disconnect the fuel filter, the breather hose. Loosen the fuel filler clamp. Remove the prop shaft - it will be siezed on every screw. Lower the final drive unit by 75mm (drop the subframe - that will be fun) and suspend it with a strong chain! Slacken the other fuel filler clamp (nearly impossible to see). Disconnect some other hoses. Chock the tank and undo the bolts. Lower the tank with two people - it still has fuel in it. How many hours has this taken? Now you can undo the fuel assembly and fit the new pump. Now put it all back. How many more hours? Test the car runs. What happens if it does not? £13 version - lift out the seat, cut a slit in the floor, change the pump, seal the slit, test the car - all done in 2 hours max. 1/2 hour if you have to do it again in the future. The S Type has a rubber panel right over the pump - so do most other cars. The X-Type has some terrible designs flaws and this is one of them
