Hi my jag brake keep closeing up on me when the car is in motion. The brake get hot in starts to smoke rubber.klw23608 - 2004 Jaguar X-Type - Brakes - 12/23/2012when brakes cool of they open back up again. I have good brake pressure but they will not open up when i take my feet off the padel. Help me-
12/23/2012 profsnl_killerI had a problem like this on an older truck, several years ago. The rubber brake lines going from the frame to the caliper/drums had a corroded interior liner, which would collapse when the fluid tried to return to the lines after releasing the brake pedal. The more times you pressed the pedal, the more pressure that was built up inside the caliper. try loosening the bleed-off screw to see if it relieves any pressure and tighten it back up. Loss of a little brake fluid is not going to hurt the pocketbook to eliminate possibilities if it isn't the problem.

4/13/2012 SteveJoeMike ... the bad news is your description sounds like it is the oil pressure light. The good news is you can get it to go out by sloshing the oil remaining in the pan around so the pump picks it up. Try changing your oil and putting in a full (6 quarts maybe) quantity to see if symptom changes. You could have wrong dipstick installed.

-
1/18/2012 Spoon SportsCould be the sensor, could be the hub. Scanning it will give you the reason why its ON.
At this point, we will just be guessing your problem and i know you dont want that.
Once you get it scanned. Post what needs to be done, im sure i have a manual lying in here somewhere on Jaguar DIY.
