COOLING SYSTEM - V8
DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION 26-2-7
Inlet manifold - Cooling connections
Coolant leaves the cylinder block via an outlet pipe attached to the front of the air intake manifold. The pipe is
connected to the thermostat housing and the radiator by a branch hose off the radiator top hose.
Hot coolant from the engine is also directed from the inlet manifold via pipes and hoses into the heater matrix. Coolant
is circulated through the heater matrix at all times when the engine is running.
A further tapping from the inlet manifold supplies coolant to the throttle housing via a hose. The coolant circulates
through a plate attached to the bottom of the housing and is returned through a plastic bleed pipe to an expansion
tank. The hot coolant heats the air intake of the throttle housing preventing ice from forming.
An Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) sensor is fitted in the inlet manifold adjacent to the manifold outlet pipe. The
sensor monitors coolant temperature emerging from the engine and sends signals to the ECM for engine
management and temperature gauge operation.

management.
Expansion tank
The expansion tank is located in the engine compartment. The tank is made from moulded plastic and attached to
brackets on the right hand inner wing. A maximum coolant when cold level is moulded onto the tank.
Excess coolant created by heat expansion is returned to the expansion tank from the radiator bleed pipe at the top of
the radiator. An outlet pipe is connected into the pump feed hose and replaces the coolant displaced by heat
expansion into the system when the engine is cool.
The expansion tank is fitted with a sealed pressure cap. The cap contains a pressure relief valve which opens to allow
excessive pressure and coolant to vent through the overflow pipe. The relief valve opens at a pressure of 1.4 bar (20
lbf.in
2) and above.
Heater matrix
The heater matrix is fitted in the heater assembly inside the passenger compartment. Two pipes pass through the
bulkhead into the engine compartment and provide coolant flow to and from the matrix. The pipes from the bulkhead
are connected to the matrix, sealed with 'O' rings and clamped with circular rings.
The matrix is constructed from aluminium with two end tanks interconnected with tubes. Aluminium fins are located
between the tubes and conduct heat away from the hot coolant flowing through the tubes. Air from the heater
assembly is warmed as it passes through the matrix fins. The warm air is then distributed into the passenger
compartment as required.
+ HEATING AND VENTILATION, DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION, Description.When the engine is
running, coolant from the engine is constantly circulated through the heater matrix.
Radiator
The 45 row radiator is located at the front of the vehicle. The cross-flow type radiator is manufactured from aluminium
with moulded plastic end tanks interconnected with tubes. Aluminium fins are located between the tubes and conduct
heat from the hot coolant flowing through the tubes, reducing the cooling temperature as it flows through the radiator.
Air intake from the front of the vehicle when moving carries heat away from the fins. When the vehicle is stationary,
the viscous fan draws air through the radiator fins to prevent the engine from overheating.
Two connections at the top of the radiator provide for the attachment of the top hose and bleed pipe. A connection at
the bottom of the radiator allows for the attachment of the bottom hose to the thermostat housing.
Two smaller radiators are located in front of the cooling radiator. The lower radiator provides cooling of the gearbox
oil and the upper radiator provides cooling for the engine oil.

COOLING SYSTEM - V8
DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION 26-2-9
Viscous fan
1Coolant pump pulley drive attachment
2Fan blades
3Bi-metallic coil
4Body
The viscous fan provides a means of controlling the speed of the fan relative to the operating temperature of the
engine. The fan rotation draws air through the radiator, reducing engine coolant temperatures when the vehicle is
stationary or moving slowly.
The viscous fan is attached to the coolant pump drive pulley and secured to the pulley by a nut. The nut is positively
attached to a spindle which is supported on bearings in the fan body. The viscous drive comprises a circular drive
plate attached to the spindle and driven from the coolant pump pulley and the coupling body. The drive plate and the
body have interlocking annular grooves with a small clearance which provides the drive when silicone fluid enters the
fluid chamber. A bi-metallic coil is fitted externally on the forward face of the body. The coil is connected to and
operates a valve in the body. The valve operates on a valve plate with ports that connect the reservoir to the fluid
chamber. The valve plate also has return ports which, when the valve is closed, scoop fluid from the fluid chamber
and push it into the reservoir under centrifugal force.
Silicone fluid is retained in a reservoir at the front of the body. When the engine is off and the fan is stationary, the
silicone fluid level stabilises between the reservoir and the fluid chamber. This will result in the fan operating when the
engine is started, but the drive will be removed quickly after the fan starts rotating and the fan will 'freewheel'.
At low radiator temperatures, the fan operation is not required and the bi-metallic coil keeps the valve closed,
separating the silicone fluid from the drive plate. This allows the fan to 'freewheel' reducing the load on the engine,
improving fuel consumption and reducing noise generated by the rotation of the fan.
When the radiator temperature increases, the bi-metallic coil reacts and moves the valve, allowing the silicone fluid
to flow into the fluid chamber. The resistance to shear of the silicone fluid creates drag on the drive plate and provides
drive to the body and the fan blades.

11Return port
When the engine is off and the fan is not rotating, the silicone fluid stabilises within the fluid chamber and the reservoir.
The fluid levels equalise due to the return port in the valve plate being open between the fluid chamber and the
reservoir. In this condition, when the engine is started, silicone fluid is present in the fluid chamber and causes drag
to occur between the drive plate and the body. This causes the fan to operate initially when the engine is started.
As the fan speed increases, centrifugal force and a scoop formed on the fluid chamber side of the valve plate, pushes
the silicone fluid through the return port in the valve plate into the reservoir. As the fluid chamber empties, the drag
between the drive plate and body is reduced, causing the drive plate to slip. This reduces the rotational speed of the
fan and allows it to 'freewheel'.
When the coolant temperature is low, the heat emitted from the radiator does not affect the bi-metallic coil. The valve
remains closed, preventing fluid escaping from the reservoir into the fluid chamber. In this condition the fan will
'freewheel' at a slow speed.

COOLING SYSTEM - V8
26-2-12 DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
As the coolant temperature increases, the heat emitted from the radiator causes the bi-metallic coil to tighten. This
movement of the coil moves the valve to which it is attached. The rotation of the valve exposes ports in the valve plate
which allow silicone fluid to spill into the fluid chamber. As the fluid flows into the clearance between the annular
grooves in the drive plate and body, drag is created between the two components. The drag is due to the viscosity
and shear qualities of the silicone fluid and cause the drive plate to rotate the body and fan blades.
As the coolant temperature decreases, the bi-metallic coil expands, rotating the valve and closing off the ports in the
valve plate. When the valve is closed, centrifugal force pushes silicone fluid through the return port, emptying the fluid
chamber. As the fluid chamber empties, the drag between the drive plate and the body is reduced and the body slips
on the drive plate, slowing the rotational speed of the fan.
