The XJ (X351, 2010 to 2019) is Jaguar's flagship sedan. It uses the 5.0-liter V8 in naturally aspirated and supercharged form and a 3.0-liter supercharged V6, with an 8-speed automatic.
Model year 2018 is part of the XJ (X351) generation (2010–2019). 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 2018 model year.
Check the model year on your VIN: on a 2018 vehicle the 10th character of the 17-digit VIN is “J”. 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 8 years old, a 2018 vehicle is usually past its basic warranty. Typical jobs at this age are brakes, suspension parts, fluids, the 12V battery and diagnosing sensor faults with the factory wiring diagrams.
Same generation: 2010 Jaguar XJ, 2011 Jaguar XJ, 2012 Jaguar XJ, 2013 Jaguar XJ, 2014 Jaguar XJ, 2015 Jaguar XJ, 2016 Jaguar XJ, 2017 Jaguar XJ, 2019 Jaguar XJ.
