Cooling System Draining And Vacuum Filling (G2298822): Filling

The following step(s) applies to: 

All vehicles 

1. Prepare a sufficient amount of coolant to the specified concentration.
2. NOTE:

   • Make sure the coolant supply valve is in the closed position on the vacuum filler gauge assembly.
   • The coolant vacuum fill tool needs an air pressure of 6 to 8 bar (87 to 116 psi) to operate correctly.
   • Small diameter or long airlines may restrict airflow to the coolant vacuum fill tool.

   • Install the special tools.

     Special Tool(s): JLR-303-1634  , HU-919 

   • Connect the hose from the vacuum refill adapter into a container of clean coolant.
   • Connect a regulated compressed air supply to the venturi tube assembly.
   • Install the cooling system vacuum refill adapter to the expansion tank.

   • Close the air supply valve.
   • Allow 1 minute to check the vacuum is held.
5. NOTE:

   • Close the coolant supply valve when the coolant expansion tank MAX mark is reached or coolant movement has ceased.
   • The coolant is to be reused.

   Open the coolant supply valve and allow the coolant to be drawn into the system.

6. Remove the special tools.
7. CAUTION:

   • Make sure that the mating faces are clean and free of foreign material.
   • Do not exceed 1.0 bar (15 psi) when pressurizing the cooling system.
   NOTE: If the pressure continues to drop after the initial tolerance, there is a coolant leak.

   • Using the correct adapter connect the cooling system pressure test kit to the vehicle expansion tank.
   • Slowly pressurize the cooling system until the pressure gauge reads 1.0 bar (15 psi).
   • Make sure the cooling system holds pressure, and continue to step  10 to bleed coolant from the bleed points.

   The following step(s) applies to: 

   Vehicles built 2021 onwards 

8. NOTE:

   • Make sure the hood is open.
   • Make sure the engine is not running.
   1. Switch the Ignition ON and select the park position (car in Parking (P) or Neutral (N) mode).
   2. Open the driver's door.
   3. Fully press the accelerator pedal for 10 seconds.
   4. Fully release the accelerator pedal.
   5. Electric coolant pump will be activated for 5 minutes.
   6. Monitoring the engine coolant level in the engine coolant expansion tank.
   7. After 5 minutes, increase the system pressure until 1 bar is showed in the gauge, if needed.

   The following step(s) applies to: 

   All vehicles 

9. Connect exhaust extraction hoses to the tail pipes.
10. CAUTION: Correct installation of the coolant expansion tank cap can be obtained by tightening the cap until 3 audible clicks have been heard

    Install the coolant expansion tank cap.

11. Start and run the engine.
12. 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

    Hold the engine speed at 2000 rpm until warm air is expelled from the heater.

13. Switch the engine off and allow to cool.
14. WARNING: Since injury such as scalding could be caused by escaping steam or coolant, allow the vehicle cooling system to cool prior to carrying out this procedure.

    Check and top-up the coolant if required.
