cover assembly.
2. Fit a new rubber seal and po sition the air intake tube

T
he cooling system for the supercharged engine is very similar
to the normally aspirated engine, but with the addition of a
water cooled, intake air charge cooling system. This comprises a radiator, an electrically operated water pump and two
charge air cooler assemblies (heat exchangers) - one for each bank. The system works independently, but is connected to the
main cooling system at the bottom hose to allow for therma l expansion and to help to prevent unwanted circulation.
The condenser for the air conditioning system fits between th e coolant main radiator and the charge air cooling system
radiator.

iator - Main Cooling System

Whe r
e considered necessary, some hose conn
ections have an indication mark to ensure correct orientation of the hose when
being fitted.
All joints use spring-band clips, except small pipes on the bleed system joints - which use cobra clips. The heater feed and
return hoses use quick-connection unions.
Supply and return hoses for the heater are located between the cylinder banks.
A connection on the rear of the A-bank provides coolant supply for the electronic throttle and the EGR valve (where fitted).
The outlet from the electronic throttle connects to the return hose from the heater.
Cool
ant Header and Recovery Tanks
A recovery system comp
rising the header tank
and a recovery tank is fitted. The recove ry tank is located in front of the left
hand front wheel arch liner.
The header tank provides the cooling system filling point and carries the coolant level sensor. The pressure cap allows
controlled release of coolant to the re covery tank during normal operation.
The recovery tank accommodates the expansion of the system coolant during normal operation. On engine cool-down, the
coolant contracts and is returned to the main system.
Coo lin
g Fans
The two
rad
iator cooling fans are mounted in
a cowl assembly within the cooling module.
The fans are controlled by the ECM dependent on the demand fr om the cooling system (temperature) or the air conditioning
