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
Page 928 of 2490
combin
ed with the outlet duct and consequently, there is no separate housin
g assembly fitted above the water pump, as used
on the normally aspirated engine. The illustration shows the outlet duct viewed from the engine.
Thermostat Housing
The plastic housing for the thermostat is fitted between th e two cylinder banks immediately above the coolant pump.
Controlling the coolant flow through the radiator, the thermostat starts to open at 80 ° to 84 °C and is fully open at 96 °C.
A duct in the cylinder block connects the thermostat housing outlet to the coolant pump inlet. The joint between the
thermostat housing and the cylinder block is via an in-groove seal.
An air bleed outlet vents an y air in the system into the expansion reservoir, durin
g normal operation. A removable cap (usin g
a hex key) allows air to vent from the system when filling from empty.
On supercharged engines, the thermostat housin g is combined with the coolant outlet duct.
Radiator
Page 929 of 2490
The cooling
pack incorporates the radiator a
ssembly with integral transmission oil cool er (located in the radiator outlet tank),
an air conditioning condenser, and the cooling fans and cowl assembly.
The cooling pack on supercharged vehicles is the same as described above, but with the addition of a charge air cooler
coolant radiator located in front of the condenser.
Radiator Mounti
ng/Retention
T
he radiator is mounted on four rubber mounts, one on each
end of the upper and lower horizontal face. The two lower
mountings are supported on two isolated brackets mounted on the body; the lower cradle assembly has subsequently been
deleted.
A closing panel made from polypropylene, which retains the radiat or assembly, fits over the top of the radiator and is bolted
to the vehicle top panel.
Coolant Hoses - Engine
Page 930 of 2490

Whe r
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.
Coo lin
g Fans
The two
rad
iator cooling fans are mounted in
a cowl assembly within the cooling module.
The fans are controlled by the ECM dependent on the demand fr om the cooling system (temperature) or the air conditioning

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

If necessary, fit new seals to the pressure cap.
1. Remove both O-rings from the pressure cap.
Fit and

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

t, using a new Dowty sealing
washer.
15. Remove the paintwork protection sheets and close the engine
cover.
