Jaguar XJ6 XJ40 1990 engine sound

[hbnerfful]

6000 rpm of a jag my dad who had a 1987 jaguar got 7000 out of it but still to many revs

[Marlever357]

I wouldn`t rev that old engine like that mate.

[xyperox]

[MrMrPaparazzi]

hows it ride? is it reliable?

[xyperox]

@MrMrPaparazzi I did not had any problems since i bought it. thats like last 4 years. and im driving aggressive. So i can say in my case it is reliable.

[MrMrPaparazzi]

@xyperox thnks, im gonna try to find one

[7477238]

I just don't know why Jaguar didn't just put an updated version of this engine when they made the decision to revive the S Type. That 3.0 was one nasty engine, took away from the regular silky smoothness that Jag is well known for.

Nice car BTW. I can see that the valvetrain noise is further accentuated by the camera so I doubt it's a real biggie.

[benzbubblecat]

I had a '90 and I couldn't GIVE the damn thing away. People just don't trust them here.

[wumpervogt82]

i just bought one with 50000 miles for $2200. I just love these cars

[yellow1fox22]

There is one of these for sale around here for $6000.

[xyperox]

maybe but this one is not for sale.

[superbran2008]

hear in england we can pick them up for as little as £500 ruffly $750 on e bay but be kerfull the timing chain rattles on higher mileage cars or when they have had some hammer

[yellow1fox22]

@superbran2008 Well I made a mistake because when I first saw this, I thought it said XJ-S. Which is what I was talking about.

[superbran2008]

it has the dreded jaguar enjine tap it is a usual problem on these magnificent beasts i just love them

[xyperox]

dreded engine tap -  whats that?

[kamilb1998]

Injectors I think

[Jasshands1]

jags corrected thse, its just at high altitudes

[nowseeherebigguy]

i gues mine does sound pretty normal. i hear the transmission and engine are pretty good for these cars.

[saulisrztk]

yours works... but the 1985 sucks wellthe one i have engine is no good due to the head rods. the sound of that car sounds amazing!

[kamilb1998]

Sounds good and looks goood :-D

[Brockie777]

That's cool, so is that the 4.0 litre straight six?

[xyperox]

Yes it is 4.0 litre straight six.

Nothing Special. Old car, old engine. But still my favorite car of all in familly.

[LondonItalian]

I`ve tried to do video clips of my Jaguars engines with the bonnet open, but it always sounds tappety & you dont hear the bass either, so I dont upload them.

[bonapartist1]

Tight music, brah...

Wow

[enigmaCSS]

lol

[nathanpisces]

my dad has the TWR racing 4.0 sport auto box one..its sooo nice lovely, it red with cream interior and red piping..love it..

[louismchuge]

It sounds fine - just like mine. It's the injectors you can hear clicking, it's absolutely normal. It is a really early primative injection system, thats all

[xyperox]

That are

BBS Asa 16"

Rear 225/60/16

Front 225/50/16

[DemoFly]

Valves sound a little tappetty. But it's probably the camera.

[xyperox]

Service says that everything is good :( and many here says that the valves are strange.

[leewelshy]

lovely car, lush!

[xyperox]

Thank You!

[19BlackMamba81]

There is 100% something wrong with your engine...... sounds not right to me.

[xyperox]

I was in service last week. Jaguar technician sad that everything is ok. So maybe kamera mic make some noise of machine sound. I recorded with JVC ZD710

[bhb4u123]

my car sounds the same its all good

[xyperox]

now im relaxed :) I start to thinking that something is wrong with engine from all these posts

[heuylewis5000]

british cars is better than german cars

[SBT300]

@heuylewis5000 and why are all the British carmakers gone?

[yaunez]

the bbs's suck.

O.Z. makes better rally rims

[Arsenalfan234]

Nice Jag:)

what song is it?

[xyperox]

Dj Bobo is the artist dont know the song name

[Arsenalfan234]

thanx mate:)

[yamahonkawazuki]

sounds liek youve got a lifter tapping, or a loud injector

[fontheking5]

Nice car , take care of it . Maybe a valve or something needs adjusting or something is loose in the engine .

[xyperox]

Thanks. But what adjusting? Car goes on service every year. Ill ask them

[DQ81]

sounds like you have a valve that needs adjusting or are the injectors really that loud? mine does the same thing. I've got a 91 4.0 Any ideas?

[xyperox]

I thinkg that dont needs adjusting. Inside the car is no sound and outside i like the sound of big engine otherwise ill should buy some toyota...

[BMW620]

nice big engine. appeals to me.

[xyperox]

thanks for comment

[Stevieb83]

nice machine m8 what are they like to live with day 2 day i fancy getting me one?

[akabigmike]
