1998 JAGUAR X308 pulley

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.
