Cooling System (V12
4.2.1 COOLING SYSTEM DESCRIPTION I
4.2.1.1 Major Components
o Engine crossflow radiator, incorporating a concentric tube cooler for the power steering fluid mounted in the
left
-hand radiator side tank. Vehicles with automatic transmission have a six-plate transmission fluid cooler
mounted in the right
-hand radiator side tank. A double-action temperature switch, for controlling the electric
radiator cooling fans, is mounted in the left
-hand radiator side tank.
0 Engine driven, viscous-coupled, radiator cooling fan
0 Two electrically operated radiator cooling fans, mounted in front of the radiator.
o Coolant circulating pump, belt driven from the engine crankshaft.
0 Coolant header tank with pressure relief cap and coolant level probe.
0 Two engine thermostats, one in each cylinder bank.
4.2.1.2
0 Heater matrix.
0 Electrically operated coolant circulating pump, mounted on the left-hand side of the engine bulkhead.
o Solenoid operated valve, located adjacent to the coolant circulating pump.

4.2.1.3 Operation
The configuration of the cooling system is shown in Sub-section 4.2.2.
The cooling system is pressurized, which allows the system to operate at a higher temperature without overheating.
The header tank is fitted with a pressure relief cap to protect the system against overpressure.
Under cold start conditions, coolant is forced by the engine driven water pump through each cylinder block and cylin
- der head to the thermostat housings. The thermostats are closed to give rapid engine warm up, hence the coolant is
returned via the engine cross pipe to the water pump inlet. When normal engine operating temperature is reached,
the thermostats open and coolant is diverted through the radiator before returning to the water pump inlet.
If the engine driven fan is unable to provide sufficient cooling, the electrically operated fans operate in series and paral
-
lel underthe control of the radiator mounted temperature switch. Under hot operating conditions, the electric fans may
continue to operate after the engine has been switched off. The fans stop automatically when the coolant temperature
has been reduced sufficiently.
The system also provides the coolant supply for the climate control system, which is described in Section 14.

WARNING: DO NOT REMOVE THE HEADER TANK PRESSURE CAP WHILE THE ENGINE IS HOT. IF THE CAP MUST
BE REMOVED, PROTECT THE HANDS AGAINST ESCAPING STEAM AND SLOWLY TURN THE CAP ANTI- CLOCKWISE UNTIL THE EXCESS PRESSURE CAN ESCAPE. LEAVE THE CAP IN THIS POSITION UNTIL
ALL THE STEAM AND PRESSURE HAS ESCAPED AND THEN REMOVE THE CAP COMPLETELY.
WARNING: WHEN DRAINING THE COOLANT WITH THE ENGINE HOT, PROTECT THE HANDS AGAINST CONTACT
WITH HOT COOLANT.
WARNING
: WHEN WORKING WITHIN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT, KEEP CLEAR OF THE ENGINE DRIVEN RADI- ATOR COOLING FAN WHEN THE ENGINE IS RUNNING.
4.2.3.2 Working Practices
Whenfilling thesystem with coolant,ensurethatthevehicle isstanding on a level surfaceand thatthecoolant is poured
in slowly so that airlocks are not introduced into the system. Airlocks can seriously affect the operation of the climate
control system and can cause damage to the heater circuit pump.
Hose clips should always be positioned
so that there is proper access for tightening and that the clip does not foul or
interfere with the operation of any components.
4.2.3 SERVICE PROCEDURES
4.2.3.1 Safety Precautions
The anti-freeze specified in Appendix A1 must be used wherever possible. It is designed to afford the maximum cor- rosion protection to all metals found in the engine cooling system, as well as having the frost protection properties
necessary during the winter months. Should it not be available, then anti-freeze conforming to Ford Motor Company
specification
ESBM97B49-A may be used. To provide optimum temperature and corrosion protection, the specified
anti-freeze concentration must always be used. Once coolant has been drained from the system, it must be discarded
and not reused. Anti-freeze is harmful to the environment. Always dispose of used coolant safely and never pour it down a drain connected to the public sewer.
CAUTION: Never fill or topup the system with water only.
CAUTION
: Anti-freeze is harmful to paintwork. Coolant spillages must be wiped up immediately and the affected
area washed to remove all traces of coolant.
CAUTION: To prevent the possibility of damage to the heater circuit
pump, the pump should be electrically isolated if the ignition has to be turned ON while the cooling system is drained.
The drive belt must always be tensioned to the specified value and the tension checked at the correct point on the belt.
This information is given in Sub-section IV in the preliminary pages.
When tightening components, the torque figures given in Sub
-section II in the preliminary pages should always be
used for the fastenings listed.
When fitting a replacement thermostat, ensure that the jiggle-pin is to the top of the thermostat housing.
4.2.3.3 Coolant Change
The coolant must be changed at intervals of four years. The system should be drained from the radiator drain plug,
flushed and filled with fresh coolant. Flushing should be carried out thoroughly to remove all the old coolant from the
engine and heater matrix. (The heatervalve isopen with the ignition OFF). AfterfilIing,checkthecoolant concentration
with a hydrometer. For specified anti-freeze and coolant concentration, see in Appendix Al.

. Switch on the ignition. (The climate control system must be OFF).
. Start the engine and add coolant to the header tank if required to ensure that it does not empty.
. Run the engine until thetemperature gauge reads normal. (The enginespeed may be raised to reduce warm uptime).
. Switch off the ignition and wait for one minute.
Check that the coolant level in the header tank is between MAX and

4.2.4.4 System, Air Bleeding
After filling the system with coolant, any air present must be purged before effective cooling is possible. Provided the
correct fill procedure has been followed, purging of the system takes place automatically as follows:
The air entrained by the coolant, rises to the top of the radiator and to the highest point on each side of the engine (the
thermostat housings). While the thermostats are closed, the radiator is under reduced pressure due to the pump suc
- tion and air is bled through the jiggle-pins in each thermostat. Purged air is returnedvia the bleed system to the header
tank. When normal operating temperature is reached, the thermostats open and the system operates normally. ~~
