Thanks for taking the time to make your videos, I've got a leaking water pump on my xtype also so it's excellent that you've posted your one. Will make it easier for me. Thanks again Steve
Thanks! Looks easy to install and will save me a good $300 to $400 bucks in labor. Mine is not leaking but the tensioner pulley is not spinning which caused the water pump belt to come off leading to overheating. I've read its best to replace the water pump when that happens.
@@johnnysevengun The tensioner mounting bolt isn't designed to be for that, hence an 8mm, best practise is using the 15mm and if the tensioner is that stiff it needs replacing?
Greatings Sir, Good job, i have a question , is this pump same for "Ford Mondeo" mk3 ? I heard it was, myne just broke, and i can easily find one for Ford, and Jag original i would have to wait for a week or something? I supouse belt is not the same length but the pump is.. Regards
The water pump is a Ford part and easy to get as a pattern part. I usually get mine from Eurocarparts. Circoli or Aitex. They have 45% off at the moment. I don't know if it is the same as a Mondeo Mk3 but it wouldn't surprise me.
what ive done to my jag...😑☕ remade a thermostat gasket...fixed the hose in the super charger...exchanged the radiator hose for a new one...leaking sunroof inside my car ...now coolant stays low...and car overheats
I also drank the Kool aid and purchased a 2003 Jaguar X-Type. Being the body was in perfect condition and looked amazing . What a mistake! Nothing but problems. As soon as I had one thing fixed something else went bad. Unfortunately I had to take it to my mechanic who charges a hundred dollars an hour. As I don’t have the tools or knowledge to fix myself. The problem is I have so much money invested. I have no choice but to keep fixing it.
Concept Symetry Guitars Almost everyday mechanic in the U S charges at least that amount. I recently had the alternator replaced. Being they had to remove the air conditioner compressor to get to the alternator and having to refill it again with Freon. The cost of repair was four hundred dollars plus the purchase of an alternator which was 160 dollars. Jaguar is the only car I have ever had where the alternator wasn’t located were it can accessed easily
@@Lees706 I have to say that the position of the alternator is one of the worst bits of automotive design I have come across. Being so low down it could easily get drowned and as a wearing part it should be easy to remove. Cars are only designed with a 6 years lifespan so I guess Jaguar though no-one would be changing them 15-20 years later if at all.
Concept Symetry Guitars I believe the alternator was never replaced. Until I had it replaced. It had the Jaguar stamp on it . So i guess 17 years of service is pretty good. I have a 1988 Cadillac also I was able to replace the alternator myself in ten minutes .
Concept Symetry Guitars So far the automatic transmission shifts well with no problems. If that goes bad. I’m done with it. Not willing to invest another 3 thousand to replace it. Being my Jaguar has 170 K on it . I’m sure it was replaced before I bought it. X-Types are known for transmission problems
coolant should be orange but good vid doing mine in the morning. if you think the belt needs changing see if any cracks on the ribbed side if so change . thanks
No. In this video I had a brand new gasket. In the past I have made paper gaskets and used Blue Hylomar which I will use again if this one needs resealing.
cheers for the video made short work of changing the pump out on my 2.5 ...... but the anti-freez should be red ? but again thank you for doing the videos a massive help when haveing to do any work on the cat :)
I just wanted to say, thank you for your videos they have all been very helpful to a Jaguar noob (I do have automotive experience) but still very helpful and I have just noticed a coolant leak on my 02 X-type with a 3.0 and it looks like the water pump as well,, just a quick question though, why is the clock position of the pulley you removed important?
I always put back pulleys the way they come off just in case they have been balanced in the factory or the holes are not quite aligned due to wear. Its probably not important on modern cars.
The Jag is only doing a few miles a week at the moment so I fully expect it to start playing up when the cold weather comes. Several people have told me the starter motor is an easy job once you have pushed the cables and pipes out of the way.
The gasket came with the new pump. Previously I found I could not buy the gasket on its own so I bought some gasket paper and made one which lasted over two years until the pump failed. I see them on ebay for £8-£24.
Th e body, engine, drive train, electrics and steering are all still original as is the exhaust system. Th other ancillaries you would expect to change with age. I was unlucky that I bought a badly kept car and then dropped it down a pothole that meant most of the rear suspension had to be replaced bit by bit.
What would you put in it? I don't have any old readymix and it is subzero so I can't just put water in it. This way you only lose the amount of clean antifreeze that comes out of the pump and you don't have to drain the whole system to make sure the coolant is good.
literally everything you have had to do on your car I've had to do on mine, these videos are a great help and a must watch for x type owning diy'ers.
Thanks. I haven't done this much serious maintenance since I owned a Scimitar GTE. One of the joys of having an old car!
Thank you for all the work you do to document your repairs.
Great video! Just shared with a friend who has never replaced a water pump on a car - he’s going to do it thanks to your video!
Glad it helped!

Thanks. Good luck with it.
those tips are beter than a workshop manual, thank you

Thanks for your help. Saved me time and money! -Jeff
I have a 2003 X type 2.5 with 55,000 miles. Same issue but reservoir does not run down as quick as yours. Usually take a few days.
To release pulley belt, 15mm spanner turned right on the tensioner, not the mounting bolt nut as in vid.
Whatever works. I've done this four times now.

Good man good video I shall be doing my jag water pump in a few days ,along with your video guide cheers buddy.

That seems really expensive for a mechanic. I hope they are good and very quick.

Did you notice a small amount of rotational play on the big pulley? I just changed the tensioner on mine.
No. It should be pretty solid as it is the drive wheel for the pump. If the car is very old then it probably doesn't matter.
Very good! Nice video!
coolant should be orange but good vid doing mine in the morning. if you think the belt needs changing see if any cracks on the ribbed side if so change . thanks
I hate orange coolant. It looks like the water is rusty and when it is actually rusty you can't tell.
Should be red coolant not orange
put a Clamp on the header tank hose to save the coolant.
It's only a few cupfuls and it washes out the system.
Sorry only watched the video on silent at work quickly. Did you use gasket glue?
No. In this video I had a brand new gasket. In the past I have made paper gaskets and used Blue Hylomar which I will use again if this one needs resealing.
a big thank you , it help me a lot ! thank you so much

Thanks a lot. Very useful.
How’s this pump been? Needing to buy one and wanted to know if the make you got is ok, thanks
Still going strong.
The old one was leaking ?
Yes.
Was the leaking issue solved with this replacement?
Yes and it has lasted well.
excellent video A+++

I sit and wait till you need a new starting motor in your x-type as I need one in mine :)

Dear All, where can i buy WATER PUMP PULLEY for Xtype 2008? i need to ship it to ISRAEL
www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Jaguar-X-Type-Water-Pump-Pulley-2-5cc-Petrol-01-09/143349340421?epid=707267491&hash=item2160495905:g:3YQAAOSw6fVdSqj~
Good helpful video. Thank you.
Is that the power steering pump next to the water pump?
Great videos by the way :)
Thanks. The power steering pump is at the bottom of the engine at the LHS end as you look under the bonnet. It is driven by the auxilliary belt.
Do you still have your Jaguar X-Type in 2020?
I gave it to my Dad about 18 months ago. He lives next door so i still drive it and fix it.
Concept Symetry Guitars Glad to hear it’s still in your family. Even though I don’t do the work on my Jaguar. Your videos are very informative.
my radio don't let me to type the code after i done the water pump :(((
Try disconnecting the battery again.
nothing happens i swap the fuse still nothing
hi from where did you buy the gasket?
The gasket came with the new pump. Previously I found I could not buy the gasket on its own so I bought some gasket paper and made one which lasted over two years until the pump failed. I see them on ebay for £8-£24.
Almost as easy as changing a tire.
I think you have replaced almost everything on your Jaguar.
Th e body, engine, drive train, electrics and steering are all still original as is the exhaust system. Th other ancillaries you would expect to change with age. I was unlucky that I bought a badly kept car and then dropped it down a pothole that meant most of the rear suspension had to be replaced bit by bit.
I don’t really see the point in putting fresh anti freeze and distilled water into a car with a known leak!
What would you put in it? I don't have any old readymix and it is subzero so I can't just put water in it. This way you only lose the amount of clean antifreeze that comes out of the pump and you don't have to drain the whole system to make sure the coolant is good.
Twas a common fault.
you can't get a electric shock off a 12v battery
You're joking. Try putting spanner across the terminals and see how you feel.
Concept Symetry no don't fansey torning my spanning in to a welding rode
