T
he cooling system for the supercharged engine is very similar
to the normally aspirated engine, but with the addition of a
water cooled, intake air charge cooling system. This comprises a radiator, an electrically operated water pump and two
charge air cooler assemblies (heat exchangers) - one for each bank. The system works independently, but is connected to the
main cooling system at the bottom hose to allow for therma l expansion and to help to prevent unwanted circulation.
The condenser for the air conditioning system fits between th e coolant main radiator and the charge air cooling system
radiator.

iator - Main Cooling System

A coola n
t drain plug is located at the rear of the cylinder block.
Coolant may be drained from the A-bank, by removing the coolant pipe from behind the starter motor.
For vehicles fitted with the cold climate package, a cylinder block heater (shown) replaces the drain plug located on the B-
bank.
Coolant Pump and Flow Control

The coolant pump is fitted between the two cylinder banks, on the front face of the cylinder block.
The pump consists of a housing containing a shaft, with a sh rouded plastic impeller on one end and a drive pulley on the
other.
A pair of roller bearings support the shaft in the housing. A seal behind the impeller prevents coolant from contaminating the
bearings. Should this seal fail, coolant escapes from a witness hole in the housin g indicating that immediate action is
required.
An O-ring and an aluminum-alloy gasket, seal the ports between the pump and the cylinder banks.
Coolant Outlet Duct

A coola
nt outlet plastic pipe connects to the outlet port of ea
ch cylinder head to provide a common connection point for the
radiator top hose. It also incorporates the Engine Coolant Te mperature (ECT) sensor which provides a signal representing
coolant temperature at the cylinder heads. The outlet pipe has connections to supply the heater matrix and the bypass flow
to the thermostat housing. An in-groove ga sket, seals each of the outlet-to-cylinder head joints. An aluminium gasket seals
the ECT sensor to duct joint.
Coolant Outlet Duct - Supercharged

The coolant outlet duct on the supercharged engine performs exactly the same function as on the normally aspirated engine
and connects to the same ports on the engine. The main physical difference is that the thermostat housing has been

e considered necessary, some hose conn
ections have an indication mark to ensure correct orientation of the hose when
being fitted.
All joints use spring-band clips, except small pipes on the bleed system joints - which use cobra clips. The heater feed and
return hoses use quick-connection unions.
Supply and return hoses for the heater are located between the cylinder banks.
A connection on the rear of the A-bank provides coolant supply for the electronic throttle and the EGR valve (where fitted).
The outlet from the electronic throttle connects to the return hose from the heater.
Cool
ant Header and Recovery Tanks
A recovery system comp
rising the header tank
and a recovery tank is fitted. The recove ry tank is located in front of the left
hand front wheel arch liner.
The header tank provides the cooling system filling point and carries the coolant level sensor. The pressure cap allows
controlled release of coolant to the re covery tank during normal operation.
The recovery tank accommodates the expansion of the system coolant during normal operation. On engine cool-down, the
coolant contracts and is returned to the main system.

un the engine at between 1500 and 2000 rpm until the
cooling fans operate.
10. Switch on the climate control system, set to maximum heat,
and check that heat is coming from the heater at the fascia
vents or the footwell outlets.
11. Switch off the engine and allow it to cool down.
12. When cool, remove the pressure cap and top up the system
as necessary at the header tank.

If necessary, fit new seals to the pressure cap.
1. Remove both O-rings from the pressure cap.
Fit and
fully seat new O-rings
to the pressure cap. Fit the
pressure cap.
14. Check that the pressure cap is fitted. Remove the plug from
the air charge cooler fill point. Pour coolant carefully into the air

charge cooler fill point until the system is full.
F
it the plug to the fill poin
t, using a new Dowty sealing
washer.
15. Remove the paintwork protection sheets and close the engine
cover.
