Cooling System (AJl6) m
4.1.1 COOLING SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
4.1.1.1 Major Components
o Main engine crossflow radiator, incorporating a concentric tube cooler for the power steering fluid mounted in
the right
-hand radiator side tank. Vehicles with automatic transmission have a transmission fluid cooler
mounted in the left
-hand radiator side tank; for 4,O liter supercharged engines a six-plate cooler is fitted; other
vehicles have
a tube-type cooler. Adouble-action temperature switch, for controlling the radiator cooling fans,
is mounted in the left
-hand radiator side tank.
0 Two electrically operated radiator cooling fans, mounted behind the main radiator.
0 Coolant circulating pump, belt driven from the engine crankshaft.
0 Coolant header tank with pressure relief cap and coolant level probe.
o Engine thermostat.
4.1.1.2
0 Heater matrix.
o Electrically operated coolant circulating pump, mounted on the left-hand side of the engine bulkhead.
o Solenoid operated valve, located adjacent to the coolant circulating pump.
Components for Climate Control System
4.1.1.3 Components for Supercharged Engine
0 0 Supercharger crossflow radiator, mounted in front of the main radiator. The supercharger radiator is reverse- circuited, i.e. the coolant inlet is at the bottom of the radiator.
0 Electrically operated coolant circulating pump, located at the left-hand side of the main radiator.
4.1.1.4 Operation
The configuration of the cooling system for normally aspirated and supercharged (4,O liter) engines is shown in Sub- section 4.1.2.
The cooling system is pressurized, which allows the system to operate at a higher temperature without overheating.
The header tank is fitted with a pressure relief cap to protect the system against overpressure.
Under cold start conditions, coolant is forced by the engine driven water pump through the cylinder block and cylinder
head to the thermostat housing. The thermostat is closed to give rapid engine warm up, hence the coolant is returned
directly to the water pump inlet. When normal engine operating temperature is reached, the thermostat opens and
coolant is diverted through the radiator before returning to the water pump inlet. In vehicles fitted with
a supercharger,
coolant is circulated through the supercharger radiator and intercooler by the supercharger water pump. The super- charger cooling circuit uses the same coolant header tank as the main engine cooling system.
The radiator cooling fans operate in series and parallel under the control of the double
-action radiator mounted tem- perature switch. The fans are also controlled by the climate control system on vehicles fitted with air conditioning.
Under hot operating conditions, the fans may continue to operate after the engine has been switched off. The fans
stop automatically when the coolant temperature has been reduced sufficiently.
The system also provides the coolant supply for the climate control system, which is described in Section
14.

area washed to remove all traces of coolant.
CAUTION: To prevent the possibility of damage to the heater circuit pump and supercharger pump (where fitted),
the pumps should be electrically isolated if the ignition has to be turned ON while the cooling system is
drained.
WARNING: DO NOT REMOVE THE HEADER TANK PRESSURE CAP WHILE THE ENGINE IS HOT. IF THE CAP MUST
BE REMOVED, PROTECT THE HANDS AGAINST ESCAPING STEAM AND SLOWLY TURN THE CAP ANTI
- CLOCKWISE UNTIL THE EXCESS PRESSURE CAN ESCAPE. LEAVE THE CAP IN THIS POSITION UNTIL
ALL THE STEAM AND PRESSURE HAS ESCAPED AND THEN REMOVE THE CAP COMPLETELY.
WARNING: WHEN DRAINING THE COOLANT WITH THE ENGINE HOT, PROTECT THE HANDS AGAINST CONTACT
WITH HOT COOLANT.
WARNING: WHEN WORKING WITHIN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT, KEEP CLEAR OF THE RADIATOR COOLING
FANS. THE FANS COULD START WITHOUT WARNING EVEN IF THE ENGINE IS NOT RUNNING.
4.1.3.2 Working Practices
Whenfilling thesystem with coolant,ensurethatthevehicle isstanding on a level surfaceandthatthecoolant is poured
in slowly so that airlocks are not introduced into the system. Airlocks can seriously affect the operation of the climate
control system and can cause damage to the heater circuit pump (and supercharger circuit pump if fitted).

4.1.3 SERVICE PROCEDURES
4.1.3.1 Safety Precautions
The anti-freeze specified in Appendix AI must be used wherever possible. It is designed to afford the maximum cor- rosion protection to all metals found in the engine cooling system, as well as having the frost protection properties
necessary during the winter months.
Should
it not be available, then anti-freeze conforming to Ford Motor Company specification ESLbM97B49-A may be
used. To provide optimum temperature and corrosion protection, the specified anti-freeze concentration must always
be used.
Once coolant has been drained from the system,
it must be discarded and not reused. Anti-freeze is harmful to the
environment. Used coolant must be disposed of safely and never poured down a drain connected to the public sewer.
CAUTION: Never fill or topup the system with water only.
CAUTION : Anti-freeze is harmful to paintwork. Coolant spillages must be wiped up immediately and the affected
Hose clips should always be positioned so that there is proper access for tightening and that the clip does not foul or
interfere with the operation of any components.
Drive belts must always be tensioned to the specified value and the tension checked
at the correct point on the belt.
This information is given in Subsection IV in the preliminary pages.
0
When tightening components, the torque figures given in Sukection II in the preliminary pages should always be
used for the fastenings listed.
4.1.3.3 Coolant Change
The coolant must be changed at intervals of four years. The system should be drained from the radiator drain plug,
flushed and filled with fresh coolant. Flushing should be carried out thoroughly to remove all the old coolant from the
engineand heater matrix. (The heatervalve isopen withthe ignition OFF). AfterfiIling,checkthecoolant concentration
with a hydrometer. For the specified anti-freeze and coolant concentration, see Appendix AI.

4.2.4.4 System, Air Bleeding
After filling the system with coolant, any air present must be purged before effective cooling is possible. Provided the
correct fill procedure has been followed, purging of the system takes place automatically as follows:
The air entrained by the coolant, rises to the top of the radiator and to the highest point on each side of the engine (the
thermostat housings). While the thermostats are closed, the radiator is under reduced pressure due to the pump suc
- tion and air is bled through the jiggle-pins in each thermostat. Purged air is returnedvia the bleed system to the header
tank. When normal operating temperature is reached, the thermostats open and the system operates normally. ~~
