General Procedures: 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 spilled, 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.
  1. Raise and support the vehicle.
    WARNING: Make sure to support the vehicle with axle stands.
  2. 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.

  19. Start and run the engine.
  20. 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
  21. CAUTION: Correct installation of the coolant expansion tank cap can be obtained by tightening the cap until an audible click is heard.
    G11307195
  22. Set the heating system to MAX heat, the blower motor to MAX speed and the air distribution to the instrument panel registers.
  23. 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
  24. 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.
  25. Switch the engine off and allow to cool.
    CAUTION: Switch off the engine and allow the coolant temperature to go cold.
  26. 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.
  27. 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.
