Jaguar XJ "Coolant Level Low" - Repair C2D36671 *Save Money*

[@christopherstrickland4177]

I have a 2012 XJL Supercharged and this light came on for me about a week ago just before turning 90,000 miles on my odometer. Thank you very much for the video.

[@Mrsnessaavega]

Did this and it worked!! Thanks 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽 $65 and a bit of time was way better than what dealership would have charged

[@corneliusn.8324]

I have a 2012 XJL 5.0. My Low coolant light came on but there are no signs of a leakage and the coolant level in the reserve tank stays just below the fill/full line. However, When I add or top off the reserve tank with coolant, the light goes off and after a bit of driving it returns to the low level and stays there just below the fill/full line. Still no signs of leakage! But I do smell a hint of coolant with the air on. I am assuming the Tank may be cracked or leaking somehow, but shows no signs

Hello that problem you was javing qith your jag did you find out what the problem was?

[@severogonzaleziii5549]

How do u fill up the radiator wit coolant on these cars I don't see a radiator cap .i have a 2014

[@puritybodyscrub6537]

[@severogonzaleziii5549]

[@severogonzaleziii5549]

Sold it already

[@trevinowilliams]

Great video, I ordered my reservoir I like the step-by-step I have one question also I'm getting that squeaking noise that we all have heard about the belt please tell me it's not the water pump I have 2015 AWD XJ. With 78,000.00 question is it time to change belts please I hope it's not the water pump

[@puritybodyscrub6537]

my coolant empties out fast and i have to refill it after driving about 20 minutes. what could be the issue, bc the vehicle does not run hot but the coolant go from full to very low.

[@slipstream182]

Hey. I am having the same issue. Were you able to figure out why the problem was?

[@seantube21]

Thank you very much for posting this video. I started having the same issue with my 2014 XJL last month. Question, after the fix here did the red triangle warning at the bottom-right (5:35) of your display go away on it's own?

[@edward9110]

seantube21 yes the light goes off as soon as the tank is replaced. (Which has the level sensor inside). Thank you!

[@trevi290]

It's because hood is still open.

[@seantube21]

@@trevi290 Light remains on a year later, even after clearing the message nearly every day.

[@JORDO4EVER]

I have the 2011 xj. I don't have a check engine light but After driving 10 to 15 minutes. My car starts to overheat. No leaking is going on. Do anyone know what my problem could be?

[@omaldonado1974]

I have a question if you can answer,will system need bleeding coolant?

[@RT-eh1kl]

sounds helpful, I just have the same issue from two months ago. I sent to the workshop but they just clean that. after a few days its show up again. I think this the sensor problem

[@gerardmackenzie5686]

I have a 15 xj 3.0 local guy wants to charge me 730 to change water pump, should i change the reservoir first and see if that works, cause im getting the low coolant waning but im not seeing and visible leaks.

[@edward9110]

Do the reservoir 1st.

[@trevinowilliams]

Yes change the Reservoir first make sure it has the sensor inside water pump dead Labs if you don't see any water underneath the car or squealing of the belts do the reservoir is anyone else in there experiencing this let me know thank you

[@WestCoastDP]

It's easy to see seeping from water pumps, Any tech can see that. Some early water res. tanks have a poorly designed float that no longer works and just stays at the bottom of tank causing you to see low coolant light. The problem if you have a supercharger, is the cheap crap $30. plastic water pipe under the SC will start leaking at the joint. AND if your warranty is up, it costs $1600 to take off and on the Supercharger to just replace that crappy plastic pipe. SO, replace all the plastic pipes while you replace the water pump. They have upgraded parts hoping they work longer, But, good luck. I had to pay.

[@timmorp]

@@WestCoastDP who sells the upgraded parts?

[@puritybodyscrub6537]

@@trevinowilliams low coolant light on. i add coolant it does not turn off but gradually gets lower as i drive

[@ljduce]

So why the whole tank and not just a sensor???

[@edward9110]

because the sensor is part of the tank.

[@ljduce]

@@edward9110 it still doesn't make sense because you can just replace the sensor

[@ljduce]

@@edward9110 in the video it sounded as if replacing the sensor may not be the problem so it's better to just replace the whole tank

[@EduardoGonzalez-du4yv]

My coolant tank is full and it still says this message 😩😩

[@amer-pz3wr]

Its just sensor right? If i won't change that new coolant tank ok? Please advise me please...

[@edward9110]

usually just sensor, but not sure if you can change just sensor. Its part of the tank.

[@DanyalKhan-pl3pu]

sensor not available seperately. Have to change tank and sensor.

What's the Update

[@anthonyossamang4094]

I have a question my car has the same problem will this cause the fan to run non stop

[@edward9110]

Anthony Ossamang not sure, but makes sense that it would as it’s trying to “cool” the motor.

[@anthonyossamang4094]

Ok thanks I will check and let you know

[@Truth-L-knowledge]

That sounds like the coolant temp sensor

[@slobodang952]

Thanks for posting the video! Are you assuming the connection in the bottom of the tank is what failed? I have the light on in my car but it doesnt look like the level is low. Thinking I have the same issue.

[@edward9110]

Daniel Spasic hi Daniel; it’s the sensor that’s inside the tank that fails. But from what I seen online is it’s easier to just replace the tank vs trying to just replace the sensor. And sensors alone on eBay have horrible reviews that they are very hard to install and might leak too. Thanks.

[@slobodang952]

Thanks again Edward! I completed this replacement by myself. With your help of course. I clamped the hoses to keep the fluid inside. One problem I did have was. I was too rough detaching the clip on the plug and dropped it into the engine. just a heads up for anyone else who plans to take this job on.

[@kiarraalferd4666]

Hey, I have this same problem where do you go to get parts for your jaguar? I have a 2013 Jaguar XJL. I have my sun visor that broke as well and needing both.

[@edward9110]

I got the tank from local dealer - using the discounted price from another dealership. As for the sun visor, still haven’t changed mine... it’s been crazy hard finding the right color. But I been checking car-part.com and eBay.

[@georgiarobinson65]

I have a jaguar XJ 2012. And I can tell you almost everything that goes bad on them. I also have s types always overheating problems. Always change all your hoses, water pump radiator. S types are always transmission problems

[@Roxburysfinest]

So was there something wrong with your old tank? I don’t see the point in replacing it

[@edward9110]

Old tank has the level sensor. That’s why you replace the tank.

[@Roxburysfinest]

@@edward9110 ohhh okay thanks!

[@chicagoverysown399]

great video .. i see you have the hood open sensore as well i have the same thing

[@edward9110]

Thaddaus Warner I actually had the hood open. Don’t have that issue (yet) lol :) will be another video if it does happen.

[@a209Guy]

Sometimes, giving the hood a little extra push after closing it does the trick. If not it's most likely the sensor.

[@kavinpassmore5126]

Did your vehicle indicate that you had performance issue at the sametime as it read low coolant?

[@jimmyramirez8844]

Was your coolant leaking? Looks below cool levels

[@edward9110]

Wasnt leaking anywhere.

[@jimmyramirez8844]

@@edward9110 thank you for the response.

[@Truth-L-knowledge]

Ok just a heads up for anyone thinking or own a Jaguar or rover 2010-2015 they have this issue with something in the coolant system where they have to take the intake manifold apart to fix it every 13-15000 for preventative maintenance it’s best you do before if planning on owning one they say sometimes they can go later mine went at 47,000 hope this helps!!

[@edward9110]

sold mine with 80k miles and still had no issues with that. Was also pushing around 530hp with smaller pulley and ECU tune.

[@Maddox457]

Have the same problem but antifreeze leak can’t be found, does a bad sensor in the tank cause that? Water pump seems good, can’t find where it’s leaking at. Any ideas before I take to dealership Thanks

[@edward9110]

Akshun Jackson yes it’s your sensor and not actual leaking coolant. Mine was the same. Change the tank, should be good.

[@Maddox457]

Edward M. Thank brother appreciate your help, So where do you think the coolant is leaking from?

[@edward9110]

Akshun Jackson it’s not leaking. The sensor is just defective.

[@Maddox457]

Edward M. i had antifreeze everywhere in the engine bay

[@edward9110]

Akshun Jackson then it’s probably in the front of the motor where the hoses go into the head. That would be my guess.

[@twan6061]

Thanks just changed mines & im not mechanical at all

[@mc6775]

THE sensor is INSIDE the tank. I DO NOT BELIEVE it is replaceable as it WAS on the X350/X358 Series Jaguars. IMPORTANT, the SENSOR is made for O.A.T. coolant* @ 50/50. Any other coolant & it may not work properly! DO NOT BELIEVE EVERYTHING YOU ARE TOLD BY SOME MECHANICS AND/OR PARTS SELLERS! The world has changed & you have retail associates instead of automotive parts sellers. THINK OF ANY PARTS SUPPLY AS TARGET FOR CARS & expect the same level of knowledge! Associates are told to follow the database but they are programmed incorrectly sometimes! ESPECIALLY ON CARS LIKE OURS! (*Organic Acid Technology is best for Jaguar's Aluminum Engine & associated circuitry. ALL PURPOSE Coolant is for Flintstone Mobiles!)
