Draining / Filling
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2018 Jaguar XE and 2017 Jaguar XE. 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 split, 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.
NOTE:
Some variation in the illustrations may occur, but the essential information is always correct.
- Carry out the procedure up to step 16 in the filling section three times, filling the cooling system with clean water after the first two drains.
- Raise and support the vehicle.WARNING: Make sure to support the vehicle with axle stands.
-
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.CAUTION:
- Be prepared to collect escaping coolant.
- 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.
- Refer to: Radiator Splash Shield .
- Allow the coolant to drain into a suitable container.CAUTION: Be prepared to collect escaping fluids.
- Close the bleed screw.
Torque: 2 Nm

- Refer to: Engine Cover - INGENIUM I4 2.0L Diesel .
- Release the clip.
- Remove the intake air duct.
- Open the bleed screw.
Open the bleed screw.
- Fill the coolant expansion tank to the rim and continue until coolant is visible from the outlet.
- Once coolant is visible from the outlet, close the bleeding point.
- Fill the coolant expansion tank to the rim and continue until coolant is visible from the outlet.
- Once coolant is visible from the outlet, close the bleeding point.
- Install the intake air duct.
- Install the clip.
- Start and run the engine.
- 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.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
-
CAUTION: Correct installation of the coolant expansion tank cap can be obtained by tightening the cap until an audible click is heard.
- Set the heating system to MAX heat, the blower motor to MAX speed and the air distribution to the instrument panel registers.
- Increase the engine speed to 2000 rpm for 2 minutes.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
- When hot air is emitted from the heater vents, switch off the heater.CAUTION: If no hot air is emitted from the heater vents, repeat the previous step.
- Switch the engine off and allow to cool.CAUTION: Switch off the engine and allow the coolant temperature to go cold.
- Release the cooling system pressure.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.
- Maintain the coolant level in the coolant expansion tank at the MAX mark using a 50% mixture of Jaguar Premium Cooling System Fluid or equivalent, meeting Jaguar specification WSS M97B44-D and 50% water.
- Install the coolant expansion tank pressure cap.CAUTION: Correct installation of the coolant expansion tank cap can be obtained by tightening the cap until 3 audible clicks are heard.
