Engine Belts And Pulleys problem #1

The contact owns a 2006 Jaguar Xj8 (n/a). The contact stated that while driving approximately 50mph the vehicle began to overheat and the power steering failed. The vehicle was towed to a mechanic who stated the belt tensioner and crankshaft were defective. The vehicle was taken to a Jaguar dealer. They stated that the crankshaft pulley was defective and had come loose. They told him that the engine needed to be replaced at a cost of $14,000. 00. The extended warranty company would not cover the repairs. The failure mileage and current mileage was approximately 80,000.

Emission Control problem #2

2006 Jaguar vdp l wb would not exceed over 10 mph and warning lights illuminated on the dash. Experienced two massive fuel leaks. The dealer claimed they replaced a seal to fix the fuel leak, however 2 weeks later the fuel leak resurfaced. The dealer then stated the left fuel pump flange was still leaking and the fuel tank was warped. The problem with the vehicle not accelerating over 10 mph was due to a loose mass air flow sensor connector. The tire monitor was faulty.

Engine And Engine Cooling problem #3

While stopped in the road waiting for another car. With foot on brake, the car suddenly goes full throttle. Driver has both feet applied on the brake and the car still moves forward burning rubber, and then after a few seconds it goes back to idle. The car does this once or twice a year, the last time doing damage to a car in front of it. This is the fifth time this has happened. The car is idling normally with the right foot on the brake and it will just go full throttle all by itself. It has happened enough that we know we do not have both the brake and the gas pedal depressed. From doing online research I believe Jaguar and Toyota / Lexus used the same system for controlling acceleration. I replaced the throttle body after the fender bender, it evidently did not help.
