Car Fix DIY Videos

Hi All,

This video concerns the fitting of the Caldoofy air intake pipe to my 2003 Jaguar S-Type R. This replacement pipe can offer up to 15hp in performance gain and increase the audible experience from the supercharger. I have documented the removal of the standard air intake pipe and the fitment of the new replacement pipe step by step. Finally, I take the car on a short test drive and reflect on this and a planned future modification.

Parts:
– Jaguar XJR/S Type R 4.2 Supercharged Performance ‘Caldoofy’ Stage 1 Intake (search using this term to find the ebay listing)

Tools used:
– Philips screwdriver
– Screwdriver
– High temperature silicone grease
