Expertise in Jaguar X-Type Services
1. Ignition Repair and Key Replacement
Dealing with ignition issues in Jaguar X-Type vehicles requires specialized knowledge and tools. Our technicians have a proven track record of successfully diagnosing and resolving ignition problems. For instance, we can expertly pick the ignition lock to access the key codes, ensuring a smooth and efficient process.
2. Key Programming and Duplication
Key programming for the Jaguar X-Type is essential, especially in cases of lost keys. We have the necessary tools and expertise to program new keys, ensuring they meet the vehicle’s requirements. Our technical notes outline our successful jobs in this area:
-
Job 55720: A 2004 Jaguar X-Type needed a spare remote key. Using the Smart Pro tool, we programmed an aftermarket VW 3-button flip key (MK9987). The KD remote programming process is straightforward and effective for this model.
-
Job 75067: We addressed an All Keys Lost situation for a 2006 Jaguar X-Type. Our team used a Ford N-R Transponder Key (MK4102) for key replacement, demonstrating our capability to work with various key types across different Jaguar models.
-
Job 86108: Another case involved a 2010 Jaguar X-Type with All Keys Lost. We utilized the Smart Pro and VVDI Key Tool Max for this job, producing a Ford Non-Transponder Key (SFO6). In this instance, we picked the ignition to retrieve the key code successfully.
Technical Insights
Understanding the intricacies of Jaguar X-Type locks and keys is crucial for successful service delivery. Here are some technical insights derived from our job history:
-
Key Programming: Jaguar X-Type vehicles utilize a 4D60 glass chip key, which requires two functioning keys for programming. This makes having a spare key essential for future programming needs.
-
Remote Programming: Programming remotes involves a specific sequence: turning the ignition on and off four times, removing the key, and then pressing the remote button. This straightforward process is vital for ensuring your remote operates correctly.
-
Common Challenges: Our technicians have encountered issues with connectivity during programming. For example, in Job 116204, the Smart Pro tool struggled to connect, while the Autel tool successfully programmed the keys. Such experiences underline the importance of having multiple tools at our disposal to tackle various scenarios.
-
Lock Picking Techniques: When dealing with ignition locks, our technicians utilize a Tibbie pick method to access the ignition. Care is taken not to damage the lock while retrieving the necessary key codes.
