The Jaguar is an icon of sports cars. With its great performance and sleek design, the Jaguar appeals to car lovers of all kinds.
The 2021 F-Type is here, and with that comes questions. Is it worth upgrading from a previous Jaguar? How does it compare to past models and competitors? Is it easy to maintain?
If you’re looking for specs and maintenance tips, you’ve come to the right place. We’ve got a complete breakdown of what’s under the hood of the F-Type, and a full list of Jaguar specialty tools to help with vehicle maintenance.
What’s Under the Hood of the 2021 F-Type?
The 2021 F-Type specs look pretty good. The F-Type R Dynamic and the R P575 use supercharged eight-speed automatic engines. Specifically, they use a V-6 and V-8, respectively.
The suspension has been upgraded, making the tail end far more stable than previous Jaguars. All three models get similar gas mileage, averaging around 18 miles to the gallon in the city and 26 on the highway.
The 2021 F-Type comes default with lots of driver assistance options. It features collision and driver attention warnings, front collision detectors, and automatic emergency braking.
Meanwhile, an optional blind spot assistance package includes blind spot and traffic warning systems.
The 2021 F-Type is releasing to mostly good reviews. That said, it hasn’t been immune to criticisms. Particular criticisms have been leveled at its braking capabilities.
The brakes have been noted for being relatively weak, especially when compared to the car’s weight. And the rear end has been reported to sway excessively during hard braking.
It also has suffered from a low predicted reliability rating. The F-Type is a sensitive machine, which appears likely to be prone to breakdowns after extensive use.
That last issue makes it especially likely that you’ll need specialty tools to keep your Jaguar alive and running. These cars aren’t cheap, so you’ll want to put in the time and effort to keep them alive.
With that said, let’s take a look at some of the specialty tools we offer, and what they can do for you.
What Jaguar Specialty Tools Do You Need?
Repairing a Jaguar is no small matter. It requires specialty tools designed to fit within the Jaguar’s sleek sports car chassis. We sell plenty of tools designed with this in mind.
The largest complaint that has been leveled against the F-Type 2021 has been its braking system. For that reason, you’ll definitely want to invest in braking tools to repair and maintain your brake systems.
As with other Jaguar models, transmission problems are also likely to plague you. You’ll want to stock up on engine tools. You’ll also want some diagnostic tools, as these issues can be hard to spot.
Let’s take a look at each of these, and go over the tools that we can offer you.
Jaguar Braking Tools
We have a few options available for Jaguar braking tools. Our ABS rotor socket is designed to allow for easy removal of the nut on the brake spindle. This allows for easy access and removal of the brake rotor.
The brakes have been a common source of complaints for the F-Type 2021 Jaguar. They have been noted to be somewhat weak and unresponsive. The low reliability expectations, combined with the known braking issues, make these repairs likely.
For this reason, you’ll want to have one of our rotor sockets on hand just in case your brakes fail.
We also offer a brake reservoir adapter. This will allow you to use a standard power bleeder to quickly bleed the brake lines of your Jaguar.
This will be a helpful tool if you find yourself having to perform brake maintenance on your vehicle. Our brake reservoir only costs $32.75, so you owe it to yourself to have one in your tool collection.
Jaguar Engine and Diagnostic Tools
Engine and transmission issues are also expected to be common with the F-Type 2021. Transmission issues, in particular, have long plagued Jaguars in the past, and there’s no reason to expect that to change.
Luckily, we have several engine tools as well as diagnostic tools available to help make it easy to spot and resolve these issues.
Our resistance substitution box and connector test kit will make it easy for you to identify any electrical issues that your vehicle may have. The resistance box can be used to quickly check for problems in the dash electronics.
The connector test kit comes with over 100 different plug connectors. This kit is vital to finding and fixing electrical problems, particularly under the hood. These connectors can be used to check power levels and supplies in your car electronics.
We also offer a huge variety of engine tools. We offer bolt sockets, crank seals, fuel injector and pulley removal tools, and plenty more.
With the F-Type scoring relatively low on expected reliability, it’s likely that you’ll suffer engine issues at some point with your vehicle. You’ll want a wide array of tools to help you identify and fix any issues you encounter.
In particular, we offer various sets of sockets and cranks to help you access and disassemble the engine and make the necessary observations and repairs.
