Diagnosis and Testing 
 
Principle of Operation 
 
For a detailed description of the engine cooling system and operation, refer to the relevant description and operation section of 
the workshop manual. Engine Cooling, Section - 303-03 
 
Inspection and Verification 
 
 
WARNING: Moving parts can cause severe injury, keep clear of moving parts, never place your hands or any part of your 
body near to moving parts 
 
 
CAUTION: Diagnosis by substitution from a donor vehicle is NOT acceptable. Substitution of control modules does not 
guarantee confirmation of a fault and may also cause additional faults in the vehicle being checked and/or the donor vehicle 
NOTES: 
 
 
Check DDW for open campaigns. Refer to the corresponding bulletins and SSMs which may be valid for the specific 
customer complaint and carry out the recommendations as required. 
 
 
If the control module or a component is suspect and the vehicle remains under manufacturer warranty, refer to the 
Warranty Policy and Procedures manual, or determine if any prior approval programme is in operation, prior to the installation 
of a new module/component. 
 
 
Check and rectify basic faults before beginning diagnostic routines involving pinpoint tests 
 
1. Verify the customer concern 
 
2. Visually inspect for obvious signs of mechanical or electrical damage

Engine Cooling - V8 5.0L Petrol/V8 S/C 5.0L Petrol - Cooling System Draining 
and Vacuum Filling 
General Procedures 
 
Draining 
 
1. Refer to: Radiator Splash Shield (501-02 Front End Body Panels, Removal and Installation). 
 
 
2. WARNING: Release the cooling system pressure by slowly 
turning the coolant expansion tank cap a quarter of a turn. 
Cover the expansion tank cap with a thick cloth to prevent 
the possibility of scalding. Failure to follow this instruction 
may result in personal injury. 
CAUTIONS: 
 
 
Since injury such as scalding could be caused by 
escaping steam or coolant, make sure the vehicle cooling 
system is cool prior to carrying out this procedure 
 
 
Be prepared to collect escaping coolant. 
 
 
 
3. WARNING: Do not work on or under a vehicle supported only by a jack. 
Always support the vehicle on safety stands. 
Raise and support the vehicle. 
 
 
4. CAUTION: Be prepared to collect escaping coolant.  
Page 1127 of 3039
        5.  Torque: 2 Nm 6.  CAUTION: Be prepared to collect escaping coolant. 
 
NOTE: Only carry out the following step if the coolant 
is to be drained from the engine. 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
7.  NOTE: This step is only required if previously 
removed. 
 
Torque: 50 Nm  
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Filling 
 
1. Refer to: Radiator Splash Shield (501-02 Front End Body Panels, Removal and Installation). 
 
2. Lower the vehicle.  
Page 1128 of 3039
 
3. CAUTION: Anti-freeze concentration must be maintained at 50%. 
 
Install the cooling system vacuum refill adaptor to the expansion 
tank. 
Install the vacuum filler gauge to the cooling system vacuum 
refill adaptor. 
Install the venturi tube assembly to the vacuum filler gauge. 
 
4. NOTES: 
 
 
Make sure the coolant supply valve is in the closed position on the 
vacuum filler gauge assembly. 
 
 
The coolant vacuum fill tool needs an air pressure of 6 to 8 bar (87 
to 116 psi) to operate correctly. 
 
 
Small diameter or long airlines may restrict airflow to the coolant 
vacuum fill tool. 
 
Connect a regulated compressed air supply to the venturi tube 
assembly. 
 
5. Position the evacuated air hose into a container. 
 
6. Open the air supply valve. 
 
 
7. NOTE: Make sure the coolant supply hose is positioned into a container 
of fifty percent mixture of Jaguar Premium Cooling System Fluid or 
equivalent, meeting Jaguar specification WSS M97B44-D and fifty 
percent water. Make sure no air can enter the coolant supply hose. 
 
Open the coolant supply valve for 2 seconds to prime the coolant supply 
hose. 
 
8. Apply air pressure progressively until the arrow on the vacuum filler 
gauge reaches the green segment. 
 
9. Disconnect the compressed air supply line. 
 
 
10. NOTE: Close the coolant supply valve when the coolant expansion 
tank MAX mark is reached or coolant movement has ceased. 
 
Open the coolant supply valve and allow the coolant to be drawn into 
the system. 
 
11. Remove the vacuum filler gauge and cooling system vacuum refill 
adaptor assembly.

13.  
Set the heater controls to maximum. 
 
 
14. CAUTION: Observe the engine temperature gauge. If the engine 
starts to over-heat switch off immediately and allow to cool. Failure to 
follow this instruction may cause damage to the vehicle 
Start the engine and idle until hot air is emited at the face registers. 
 
15. Switch the heater off. 
 
16. Raise the engine speed to 2000 RPM for eight minutes. 
 
 
17. CAUTION: Switch off the engine and allow the coolant temperature 
to go cold. 
Switch the engine off. 
 
18. Visually check the engine and cooling system for signs of coolant 
leakage. 
 
 
19. WARNING: When releasing the cooling system pressure, cover the 
coolant expansion tank cap with a thick cloth. 
CAUTIONS: 
 
 
Since injury such as scalding could be caused by escaping steam or 
coolant, make sure the vehicle cooling system is cool prior to carrying 
out this procedure 
 
 
Make sure the coolant level remains above the "COLD FILL RANGE" 
lower level mark. 
 
 
NOTE: When the cooling system is warm, the coolant will be 
approximately 10mm above the upper level mark on the expansion tank 
with the cap removed. 
Check and top-up the coolant if required.

to Step 10. 
 
9.  If no hot air is emitted, turn the engine off for 10 seconds and the start 
the engine and return to Step 7. 
 
 
10. CAUTION: Correct installation of the Coolant 
expansion tank cap can be obtained by tightening the cap 
until an audible click is heard. 
 
Continue to fill the coolant until the maximum level is 
reached. 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
11. Switch the heater off.
