Cooling System Partial Draining, Filling And Bleeding (G1557112): Filling

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2015 Jaguar XF, 2014 Jaguar XF, and 2013 Jaguar XF. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
CAUTION:
  • The engine cooling system must be maintained with the correct concentration and type of anti-freeze solution to prevent corrosion and frost damage. Failure to follow this instruction may result in damage to the engine.
  • Engine coolant will damage the paint finished surfaces. If spilt, immediately remove the coolant and clean the area with water.
  • Never remove the coolant expansion tank cap under any circumstances while the engine is operating. Failure to follow this instruction may result in damage to the engine.
  1. G11418856
  2. CAUTION:
    • Anti-freeze concentration must be maintained at 50%.
    • Be prepared to collect escaping fluids.

    Fill the cooling system, keeping coolant to the upper level mark of the expansion tank until a steady stream of coolant is seen running from the coolant hose bleed point. Tighten the bleed screw.

  3. Start and run the engine.
  4. CAUTION: Observe the engine temperature warning light. If the warning light is displayed, switch off immediately and allow to cool. Failure to follow this instruction may cause damage to the vehicle.

    Run the engine at idle until warm and no further coolant is required, to maintain the coolant level at the maximum mark of the expansion tank. 4.

  5. CAUTION: Correct installation of the coolant expansion tank cap can be obtained by tightening the cap until an audible click is heard.

    Install the coolant expansion tank cap.

  6. Set the heating system to MAX heat, the blower motor to MAX speed and the air distribution to the instrument panel registers.
  7. CAUTION: Observe the engine temperature warning light. If the warning light is displayed, switch off immediately and allow to cool. Failure to follow this instruction may cause damage to the vehicle.

    Increase engine speed to 2000 rpm for 2 minutes.

  8. CAUTION: If no hot air is emitted from the heater vents, repeat the previous step.

    When hot air is emitted from the heater vents, switch off the heater.

  9. CAUTION: Switch off the engine and allow the coolant temperature to go cold.

    Switch the engine off and allow to cool.

  10. WARNING: Release the cooling system pressure by slowly turning the coolant expansion tank cap a quarter of a turn. Cover the coolant expansion tank cap with a thick cloth to prevent the possibility of scalding. Failure to follow this instruction may result in personal injury.

    Release the cooling system pressure.

  11. Maintain the coolant level in the coolant expansion tank at the MAX mark using Jaguar Premium Cooling System Fluid or equivalent, meeting Jaguar specification WSS M97B44-D and 50% water.
  12. CAUTION: Correct installation of the coolant expansion tank cap can be obtained by tightening the cap until 3 audible clicks are heard.
