Oil Cooler and Filter Mounting
The oil filter and oil cooler are mounted slightly
away from the cylinder block on an aluminium
alloy adaptor which is an integral extension of the
LH engine mount. The oil filter is a replaceable
canister screw on type and the cooler is fixed by a
single through bolt to the adaptor. Both
components are connected to the cylinder block
through internal oilways in the adaptor casting
and via an interfacing filter mounting in the
block. A hollow bolt passes through the
adaptor/engine mount and screws into the centre
channel of the block filter mounting to provide
the oil return from the cooler to the cylinder
block.
The adaptor mounted oil cooler is an oil to water
heat exchanger and the coolant matrix is
connected via hoses into the main coolant system
at the radiator bottom hose (see Cooling System).

Engine Cooling
Cooling System
Engine cooling is via a conventional re-circulation
system between the engine assembly and front
mounted coolant to air radiator. Coolant flow is
from the front of the engine, dividing to pass
around each bank of cylinders towards the rear
and then flowing forward through the cylinder
heads. The coolant from the engine returns to the
top RH side of the radiator, by-pass circuit and
also provides the hot input feed to the cabin
V6 ENGINE COOLING SYSTEMheater system. The bottom hose feeds coolant
from the radiator via the thermostat to the
coolant pump and also provides the cooling
circuit for the oil. A differential pressure orifice in
the bottom hose causes a flow through the engine
mounted oil cooler.
A coolant reservoir system (or de-gas system) is
used which is similar to previous (pre 1998MY)
vehicles.
The reservoir bottle is mounted at the rear left

The coolant pump is fitted via three bolts to the
engine front cover. The pulley is mounted in-
board of the pump assembly, between the pump
and front cover, and has a smooth surface which
is driven from the outer, non ribbed side of the
drive belt.
Coolant returns from the radiator and cabin
heater system are connected via hoses to inlets on
the front of the pump assembly. The outlet from
the pump is connected to the engine block via a
hose and a tubular casting bolted to the top front
of the block between the cylinders.
Radiator and Cooling Fan Assembly
The engine radiator is one component of the
cooling pack assembly which also includes the
PAS and transmission heat exchangers and the
A/C condenser. The cooling pack assembly and
the PAS and A/C systems are described in the
ÔS-TYPE IntroductionÕ Technical Guide and
transmission cooling is described elsewhere in
this Guide.
The radiator consists of an aluminium core,
26mm in thickness, with crimped on plastic end
tanks. A single electrical cooling fan and a fan

FAN SPEED REGULATOR MODULE COOLING DUCT speed regulator module are fixed to the glass
filled nylon fan shroud assembly which is
mounted on the rear of the radiator end tanks via
two lower slots and pegs, two upper screws and
two clips at the bottom of the radiator. The A/C
system receiver drier bottle is also mounted on
the fan shroud assembly - see the
ÔS-TYPE IntroductionÕ Technical Guide.
The 500W fan motor drives a glass filled nylon
impeller over a continuously variable speed range
from 300RPM to 2900RPM and is controlled by a
regulator module mounted at the lower LH side of
the fan shroud. Since the fan speed regulator
module provides power drive to the fan, it has a
finned heat sink outer casing and is enclosed
within a cooling duct. The ducting extends
forwards below the cooling pack to receive an
inflow of air.
The radiator drain is located on the RH end tank.
Coolant
A new type of anti-freeze fluid is used for the
coolant mixture. This product is a conventional
ethylene glycol based fluid but with new organic
corrosion inhibitors instead of the silicate, nitrite
and other additives which are normally used.
These new corrosion inhibitors do not form a
deposit on the inner surfaces of the coolant
system and therefore provide improved heat
transfer (more efficient cooling), better
component protection and an extended coolant
life due to the low rate of depletion of the
additives. The recommended coolant change is
every five years or 250,000km (150,000miles).
Engine Block Heater
For markets subject to very low temperatures, an
engine coolant heater, for connection to an
external mains electrical supply, is screwed into
the RH side of the cylinder block adjacent to the
knock sensor. Two heaters are available, a 400W
115V unit with a two pin connector and a 600W
230V unit with flying lead.

Cylinder Head
The cylinder head incorporates the modifications
first introduced for the AJ27 engine except for the
camshaft sensor ring and cam cover.
Camshaft Sensor Ring
Cam position sensing is similar to that used on the
AJ27 engine, except that the sensor ring fitted to
each inlet camshaft has five triggering teeth.
Camshaft Covers
To improve accessibility, an extension tube is
fitted to the oil filler hole on the bank 2 cam
cover. Due to the position of the throttle and air
intake ducting, the part load breather outlet is
taken from bank 1 cam cover and the full load
breather outlet from bank 2 (the reverse of AJ27).
Front Cover
The front cover is modified from the AJ27 to
include a mounting boss for a new idler pulley
(see Front End Accessories Drive).
Lubrication
The lubrication system includes the uprated oil
pump (for the linear VVT system) and the same oil
temperature sensor as fitted to the AJ27 engine.
The oil sump and pan are modified as described
on page 46.
The external oil system components are located
laterally across the front of the sump body and
consist of an oil filter, oil cooler and oil filter head
assembly. The oil cooler is an oil to water heat
exchanger similar to the V6 oil cooler and the
cooler matrix is also connected via hoses to a
circulator orifice in the radiator bottom hose (see
Cooling System). The oil filter screws on to the
cooler which connects to the sump body through
an adaptor, the oil filter head assembly.

Cooling System
The AJ28 engine retains the same basic cooling
system as the previous V8 engines but shares the
radiator, fan shroud assembly, de-gas circuit and
bottom hose oil cooler circulator features with the
V6. The coolant specified for the V6 is also
applicable to the V8 engine.
Particular features of the AJ28 cooling system are:
¥ The thermostat is located in the engine
mounted housing as in previous V8 engines.
¥ The thermostat housing is modified with an
extra stub pipe for the new heater returnhose.
¥ The throttle adaptor is heated from the main
cooling system to provide throttle de-icing.
¥ Both heater hoses, feed and return, are now
routed forward to the heater control valve.
¥ An electric pump is fitted in the heater
coolant circuit (ÔS-TYPE IntroductionÕ
Technical Guide).
¥ The coolant reservoir (de-gas bottle) is fitted
with a level sensor which provides a low level
warning on the instrument panel message

63 controlled solenoid are mounted on an
integral, replaceable, control module
¥ three speed sensors mounted on the external
casing: turbine speed sensor, intermediate
speed sensor and output speed sensor
¥ an oil temperature sensor is fitted inside the
transmission.
The gear select lever is connected via a Bowden
cable to an operating lever on the left side of the
transmission casing. A digital rotary switch, the
transmission range switch, fits over the shaft of
the operating lever and is fixed by two bolts to
the transmission casing. Selection of a particular
drive function generates a 4 bit binary coded
signal which is transmitted directly to the PCM
over a four wire parallel interface. As on the XK
and XJ Series, lateral movement of the gear select
lever across the gate, D to 4 or 4 to D, operates a
switch which indicates the selected function to
the PCM (the Bowden cable is not actuated
laterally).
The PCM directly controls the transmission
actuators as a response to driver demand, engine
requirements and according to the selected shift
mode. Gear selection is controlled by commands
to the four shift solenoids. If, during gear
selection, the relative speeds monitored by the
speed sensors are not as expected, the PCM
varies the analogue signal to the variable force
solenoids to increase/decrease the clutch pressure
(closed loop control). Increased engagement times
due to ageing are also controlled by adaptive shiftpressure.
Apart from the sports mode and traction mode
selected by the driver, there are pre-programmed
modes selected by the PCM in response to sensed
driving conditions :
¥ increased load such as gradients and trailer
towing
¥ cruise control
¥ hot mode: strategies including clutch lock up
are applied to reduce heat.
Transmission Oil Cooler
The transmission fluid is cooled externally by a
dedicated oil to air radiator which is mounted in
the integral cooling pack between the engine
radiator and A/C condenser and below the PAS
cooler.
