Fluid Condition Check

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2020 Jaguar XE and 2019 Jaguar XE. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. Check the fluid level. Refer to the relevant article in the repair information. REFER to TRANSMISSION FLUID LEVEL CHECK (G2247232) 
  2. Observe the color and the odor of the fluid. The color under normal circumstances should be like honey, not dark brown or black.
  3. Allow the fluid to drip onto a facial tissue and examine the stain.
  4. If evidence of solid material is found, the transmission fluid pan should be removed for further inspection.
NOTE: In the event of a transmission unit replacement for internal failure, the oil cooler and pipes must also be replaced.
