1. Remove the coolant expansion tank pressure cap.
2. Remove the undertray. For additional information, refer to FRONT END BODY PANELS .
3. Remove the coolant drain plug. Drain the coolant into a suitable container.
4. Install the drain plug when all coolant has drained. Tighten to 1 N.m. Remove the drain tray.
5. Install the undertray. For additional information, refer to FRONT END BODY PANELS .
6. Lower the vehicle.
7. Remove the engine cover.
8. Fill the cooling system up to the MAX mark on the coolant expansion tank using a 50% mixture of Jaguar Premium Cooling System Fluid or equivalent, meeting Jaguar specification ESE-M97B44-A and 50% distilled water.
9. Install the coolant expansion tank pressure cap.
10. START and RUN the engine at 2000 rpm until the cooling fan operates.
11. Stop the engine and allow to cool for two minutes.
12. Loosely install a pipe clamp to the heater inlet hose.
13. Loosely install a pipe clamp to the heater return hose.
14. START and RUN the engine at 2000 rpm.
15. With the engine at 2000 rpm, fully clamp the heater outlet hose and then fully clamp the heater inlet hose.
16. Continue to run the engine for a further two minutes.
17. Switch the engine off.
18. Remove the heater hose clamps.
19. Fit the engine cover.
20. Allow the vehicle to cool to room temperature.
21. Remove the coolant expansion tank pressure cap, top up the coolant level to the MAX mark on the coolant expansion tank.
22. Install the coolant expansion tank pressure cap.

Cooling System Flushing

Note. To remove rust, sludge and other foreign material from the cooling system, use Premium Cooling System flush, meeting Jaguar specification EGR-M14P7-A, which is safe for use with aluminium cooling systems. This cleaning restores cooling system efficiency and helps prevent overheating.

Note. In severe cases where cleaning solvents will not properly clean the cooling system, it will be necessary to use the pressure flushing method using Cooling System Flusher, 164-R3670 to restore efficient operation.

Note. A pulsating or reversed direction of flushing water will loosen sediment more quickly than a steady flow in the normal coolant flow direction.

Note. Dispose of old coolant and flushing water contaminated with coolant and cleaning chemicals in accordance with local, state and federal laws.
