  1. XJ (X350, X358) Aluminium Body 2003 - 2009
    Hi Looking to buy some coolant in preparation for heater matrix backflush and coolant system flush for X350 V6 3.0 Petrol Having read the various posts on the forum have been looking for product compliant to WSS-M97B44-D Reaching out to check with the forum if anyone has used the Comma...
  2. X-Type (X400) 2001 - 2009
    I'm not aware when / if the coolant was ever changed in the 75,000 mile life of the 2007 car, and I have had this for 2.5 years with it untouched. I have seen that an easy, and cheap, indication as to whether or not the coolant needs changing, is to do a litmus test. However the correct ph level...
  3. S-Type (X200, X202, X204, X206) 1999 - 2008
    Did anyone use, or pondered using waterless coolant for superchaged cars? The boiling temps for the waterless coolant is 190+ ºC and it goes to -40ºC. Supercharged cars really tax the cooling system, so I was thinking this could be a very sensible upgrade. EDIT: here is a link...
  4. XE (X760) 2015 - Present
    Hi there! Bit of background - I've owned my Jaguar XE Portfolio 2.0 2015 for 3 months, bought privately secondhand. After taking it to 3 mechanics, now at a specialist, he's said the coolant has been leaking into the cylinders and I'll need a new engine costing £8-9k which I can't afford. My...
  5. S-Type (X200, X202, X204, X206) 1999 - 2008
    Hi Guys I am new to the forum so I hope I don't break any rules! Anyway, I usually buy S-Types (SE Plus), run them for 30k miles and then swap. My latest is a beautiful 53 plate with about 93k on the clock. When delivered it ran perfectly. I then installed my Pioneer Android Auto based double...
  6. XF / XFR (X250) 2007 – 2015
    Hello, I'm looking for help finding out the part number of a hose I've identified leaking on my car. I't the short hose connecting from the bottom of the Pressure Relief Thermostat to the radiator as seen in the picture. Any help much appreciated. Thanks
  7. S-Type (X200, X202, X204, X206) 1999 - 2008
    Hello, I want to flush and clean the entire cooling system on my 2007 2.7D S-Type. After searching how to drain and top-up the system, I've found a procedure (here on this forum) that involves setting the heater on MAX and LOW for a couple of minutes each. I know for sure that my DCCV valve...
  8. XJ8 / XJR (X308) 1997 - 2003
    G'day all. I'm working on a 2003 XJ8 and I can't seem to get the coolant to completely drain from the system. I only ever get about 4 or 5 quarts. I've done it 5 times. I tried to run the car until the engine was warm but I chickened out worried about damaging the motor. What can I do? I've...
  9. X-Type (X400) 2001 - 2009
    Hi all, I have a very frustrating problem with my 2.0D X-Type temperature gauge. Story goes that I came back from holiday and was driving down the motorway. Temp gauge got into the red and I managed to get some more coolant from a local (to Heathrow) Jag garage as a "get me home" which did the...
  10. Cars Maintenance & Service
    Hello, I'm new to owning a Jaguar, having previously only driven a classic 80s BMW. Could anyone recommend the right coolant for my 2005 Jaguar x-type please? currently it's pink - looking for an easy option, thinking something pre-mixed with water - if that's advisable. thanks very much.
  11. XF / XFR (X250) 2007 – 2015
    Hello everyone I am new on here since I just joined the jaguar family. I recently just purchased a 2011 Jaguar XF the with only 30,000 miles on it. After I put roughly 200 miles on it the coolant started to leak, I also noticed that the higher the rpms the faster the low coolant light will turn...
  12. XJ8 / XJR (X308) 1997 - 2003
    Attached are error codes for my xj8 1998 V8 engine 4.0 .... I have had coolant leak which may now be fixed or much improved using head gasket seal in the coolant... But now driving on restricted performance at times then message clears then returns again etc..I would appreciate any guidance here...
  13. XJ8 / XJR (X308) 1997 - 2003
    1998 xj8 V8 4,0 ....I have had a coolant leak/loss problem recently so new water pump put in , and then some head gasket seal because mechanic thought it may be head gasket trouble... The water was coming from the expansion tank underneath front bumper... I think it has stopped loosing water now...
  14. S-Type (X200, X202, X204, X206) 1999 - 2008
    Hi, I am a noob - have just bought a 2007 S Type, 2.7 diesel, one owner from new, regularly serviced, no issues I am aware of. Drove to London (from Devon) - no issues - was a dream to drive. Parked in London for a couple of hours, then drove into central London (child needed to go to A&E)...
  15. XF / XFR (X250) 2007 – 2015
    Hi everyone, I have just had to top up the coolant for the second time on my 09 XF-R in 3 or 4 months. So obviously I'm starting to think the worst about head gaskets. Is there any obvious signs on the 5.0L engines that should be looked for to confirm or discount a head gasket? I know in older...
  16. XK8 / XKR (X100) 1996 - 2005
    Hi, I've just taken the 1998 XKR out of mothballs for the year with a view to getting it back on the road soon. I've had a few issues with it recently, and am now a bit worried that the car may be running too hot. When driving it from where it was stored to a workshop a few hundred yards away...
  17. XJ8 / XJR (X308) 1997 - 2003
    My coolant appears to boil and leak out after a few miles driving , now the mix would be more water than antifreeze as I have topped it up a few times, will this make the matter worse? When i stop the car it seems to begin to boil , i have no idea if it is leaking while im driving along ...
  18. S-Type (X200, X202, X204, X206) 1999 - 2008
    Hi there I see alot of posts about coolant issues on the forums but was hoping for some specific insight as the two seemingly most common problems (leaky/cracked expansion tank and corroded top hose) have been addressed. Long story short.... 3 weeks ago it started with a engine coolant low...
  19. S Type Stickies
    I found I had the dreaded broken nozzle syndrome on my coolant expansion tank today. Since I had some plastic epoxy glue in my garage I decided to try to repair it instead of spending lots of money on a new tank that will probably break in the same place eventually. In the event it was...
  20. X-Type (X400) 2001 - 2009
    I suspect my recently acquired 2.5 V6 has a blown head gasket, but would appreciate some comment from forum users with more knowledge than me. Apart from this being my first Jaguar with this engine, it's the first car in which I have experienced these symptoms. For the first could of weeks of...
