1998 JAGUAR X308 water pump

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

• NOTE
: To ensure that
air is not drawn into the system during the following operations:
Do
not remove the cap from the header tank whilst the
charge air cooling system is open to atmosphere.
Do
not switch on the ignition when th
e charge air cooling system is open to atmosphere because the electrical
cooling pump may draw air into the system.
2. Fi
ll the cooling system at the header tank until the
level stabilises near the to p of the charge air cooler
fill point. This will take some time, as air is being
purged from the system.
Ensure that the head
er tank is full.
2. Fit the pressure cap to the header tank.

3. Pour coolant careful l
y into the charge air cooler fill point until
the system is full.
Fi t t
he plug and washer to the fill point.
4. Remove the pressure cap from the header tank.
5. Switch on the ignition and switch off the climate control
system.
Le ave
the ignition switched on (do not start the engine)
for at least 2 minutes to allow the air charge cooler
electric water pump to oper ate and to purge any air from
the air charge cooler radiator to the header tank. (This
operation will be repeated later)
6. Switch off the ignition for at least 1 minute.
7. Leave the ignition switched on (do not start the engine) for at
least 2 minutes to allow the air charge cooler electric water
pump to operate and to purg e any air from the air charge
cooler radiator to the header tank.
8. Top up the cooling system.
1. Top up the header tank and fit the pressure cap.
2. 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.
3. Fit the plug and washer to the fill point.
