The XK (X100, 1997 to 2006) is Jaguar's grand touring coupe and convertible, using the 4.0- and 4.2-liter AJ-V8 and a supercharged XKR.
Model year 2006 is part of the first-generation XK (X100) (1997–2006). It is the last model year of this generation and includes the running changes made during production, which is why a manual for the exact year matters.
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: 1997 Jaguar XK, 1998 Jaguar XK, 1999 Jaguar XK, 2000 Jaguar XK, 2001 Jaguar XK, 2002 Jaguar XK, 2003 Jaguar XK, 2004 Jaguar XK, 2005 Jaguar XK.
