The S-TYPE (X200) is Jaguar's midsize rear-drive sedan. It uses 3.0-liter V6 and 4.2-liter V8 engines, a supercharged 4.2 V8 in the S-TYPE R, and a 2.7-liter diesel in some markets.
Model year 2006 is part of the S-Type (X200) generation (1999–2008). Most procedures are shared with the other years of this generation, but engines, options and wiring changed from year to year, so the manual is made for the 2006 model year.
Check the model year on your VIN: on a 2006 vehicle the 10th character of the 17-digit VIN is “6”. Vehicles built for North America always carry the model year in that position; on some European or Australian vehicles it may be left unused, so in that case go by the registration papers or the build plate.
At about 20 years old, a 2006 vehicle is in the age range where wiring, rubber hoses, seals and corrosion repairs take most of the work, and where original factory information is hardest to find.
Same generation: 1999 Jaguar S-TYPE, 2000 Jaguar S-TYPE, 2001 Jaguar S-TYPE, 2002 Jaguar S-TYPE, 2003 Jaguar S-TYPE, 2004 Jaguar S-TYPE, 2005 Jaguar S-TYPE, 2007 Jaguar S-TYPE, 2008 Jaguar S-TYPE.
All Jaguar S-TYPE model years: 1999 · 2000 · 2001 · 2002 · 2003 · 2004 · 2005 · 2006 · 2007 · 2008
