Engine (03.00)
Cooling System (03.03)
Description
The water pump is of a conventional design and is located at 
the front of the engine. It is driven by the accessory drive 
belt.
Thermostat
The thermostat allows rapid en gine warm-up by redirecting 
coolant flow through the engine below 88 °C (190.5°F).
The thermostat also assists in  keeping the engine operating 
temperature within predetermi ned limits. The thermostat 
starts to open between 86°C -  90°C (186.8°F - 194°F) and is 
fully open at 102°C (215.5°F).
Cold Engine (Bypass Circuit) -  When the engine is cold and 
the thermostat is closed coolant flows from the water pump 
through the engine block, through the cylinder heads and 
into the water cross-over housing. Coolant then passes 
through the secondary thermostat sealing plate and returns 
to the water pump.
Warm Engine (Cooling Module Circuit) -  When the engine 
is warm and the thermostat is open coolant flows from the 
water pump, through the engine block, through the cylinder 
head and into the water cros s-over housing. Coolant then 
passes through the upper coolant hose, through the radiator  and returns to the water pump through the lower coolant 
hose and water cross-over housing.
Radiator
The radiator is of aluminium construction with plastic end 
tanks. Foam seals are installed to the radiator to prevent the 
cooling air from by-passing the radiator core. The radiator is 
located by four isolator mo
untings and supported by the 
radiator support beams. A coolant drain plug is provided in 
the lower right-hand side for the  draining of the coolant. The 
cooling fan shroud is attached to the radiator.
Cooling Fans
Two variable speed electric cooling fans are housed in the 
cooling fan pack for the cooling of the radiator. The speed of 
the electric cooling fans is adjusted by the Powertrain 
Control Module (PCM).
Coolant Reservoir
A pressurised coolant reservoir system is used which 
continuously removes any air from the cooling system. A 
continuous vent from the engine and radiator to the coolant 
expansion tank prevents air locks from forming in the

cooling system. No manual bleed points are provided on the 
system.
The coolant reservoir should be full when the coolant system 
is cold.
Engine Oil Cooler
The oil temperature is contro lled by an air/oil cooler 
mounted at the front of the car. Engine oil is removed from 
the dry sump, with the scavenge pump. The oil is routed to 
a temperature controlled thermostat which controls the 
directional flow of the oil. With the thermostat closed the oil 
is routed directly to the oil tank. When the thermostat starts 
to open (at 105°C) the oil is routed via the air/oil cooler 
before entering the tank.
