Also, various passages and pipes convey the coolant around the system (see fig. 12-11. A mixture containing equai amounts of approved coolantlanti-freeze and water should be used in the system at at1 times. The coolant mixture in the system should always be maintained at the correct level and this must be checked at the intervals specified in the Service Schedule Manual, TSD 4702. The coolant level can be checked at the translucent expansion bottle. The correct level should be between the MAX and MIN marks on the bottle. If afull checkis to be carried out refer to page L3-3. Thecooling system is pressurized and the correct pressure is maintained by the expansion bottle pressure cap. Removal of the pressure cap while t h e engine and radiator are still hot requires extremecare. The coolant pump is situated at the front of the engine and is driven from the crankshaft by twin matched 'Vee' belts. Coolantfrom the bottom of the radiator is pumped via transfer pipes and crankcase passages directly onto the outside of the 'wet' type engine cylinder liners and then into the cylinder heads. From the cylinder heads the coolant travels along transfer pipes and then flows past the thermostat to the top of the radiator. When the engine is cold the thermostat is closed. Therefore, the coolant by-passes the radiator matrix and is recirculated through the engine to reduce the warm-up period. Once normal operating temperature is attained, the thermostat opens and the coolant is directed t o the radiator. The temperature of the coolant is registered on the gauge situated on the facia. Whenever the ignition ison, a transmitter situated in the thermostat housing signals the coolant temperature to the gauge. Fig. K-1 Diagrammatic view of the cooling system Dotted line 5/88 ' - 1989 model year cars TSD 4700 Section L3 Coolant The cooling system should contain a 50% mixture of an approved coolantlanti-freeze and water. This mixture not only provides frost protection down to a temperature of -37°C I-35"F), but it also prevents corrosion of the cooling passages. Refer to the Service Schedule Manual, TSD 4702, to obtain the specified service intervals for renewing the coolant, fitting a new thermostat, and reverse flushing the system. Except in an emergency, water must not be used to eitherfill or top-up the cooling system. If a situation does arise where water is used, the coolant mixture must be corrected as soon as possibie, othetwise corrosion damage will occur to the engine cootant passages. Cooladanti-freeze The trade name of the cootantlanti-freeze is fC1007i 400F {obtainable under a Rolls-Royce and Bentley label) and should be used all year round. Do not mix IC1 007/400F or topup with any other brand of coolant/ anti-freeze.

Afterwards run the engine until normal operating temperature is attained and the anti-freeze has become thoroughly mixed with the coolant. Stop the engine and again check the concentration in the expansion bottle. An acceptable level of anti-freeze concentration is between 45% and 5596. Therefore, as a hydrometer may be inaccurate where readings above 40% are expected, it is recommended that a refractorneter (see fig. W-l) is used in the following manner. 1, Lift the plastic cover on the refractometer (tester) to expose both the measuring window and bottom of the ptastic cover. 2. Thoroughly clean both exposed surfaces with clean water and then wipe them dry with a clean soft cloth. 3. Carry out the usual workshop safety precautions. 4. Raise the bonnet and remove the expansion bottle cap. 5. Release the tip of the clear plastic tube from the tester and insefi it into the coolant in the expansion bottle. 6. Press and then release the bulb on the end of the plastic tube.This will drawa small quantity of coolant into the tube. 7. Withdraw the test equipment and bend the end of the plastictubearound thetesterso thatthetip ofthe tube can be inserted into the cover plate opening. 8. Press the bulb on the end of the plastic tube and eject a few drops of coolant onto the measuring surface. 9. Point the testertowards the light and look intothe eye piece. Do not open the plastic cover when taking a reading. Evaporation of water from the fluid sample being tested can affect the reading. 10. The anti-freeze protection reading is at the point where the dividing fine between light and dark (edge of shadow) crosses the scale. The anti-freeze reading is on the right-handscale. Note The tester temperature scale is reversed from a standardthermometer. Below zero readings are on the upper half of the scale. 11. If the temperature reading is higher (furtherdown on the scale) than -31°C (-24°F)it will be necessary to refer to figure W-2 and add the appropriate amount of anti-freeze to the system. Example A tester reading of -29°C (-2VFl is equal to an antifreeze concentration of 43% and is outside the service limits. Follow the line upwards until the angled line is reached, then trace the horizontal line to the scale on the right-handsize ofthe graph tofind that 2 litres (3.5 Imp pt, 4.2 US pt) of coolant should be removed from a full system and replaced with undiluted anti-freeze. Once the additional concentrated anti-freeze has mixed with the existing coolant the percentage concentration will be 50%. 12. After adding undiluted anti-freeze, allow the engine to apeme normalky for a few days before carrying out further checks to determine the percentage of anti-freeze concentration. This will allow time for the anti-freeze to be thoroughly mixed with the existing coolant. The anti-freee concentration should be checked in both the expansion boale and the radiator as approximately 028 litres (0.5 lrnp pt, 0.6 US pt) is transferred to andfrom the expansion bottle each time the engine is warmed-up and then left to cool. Failure to aflow the new anti-freeze to circulate properly will result in a false reading. Note ff a refractometer is not available and a hydrometer has to be used a scale reading of between l,W and 1,07 should be obtained, with the coolant at room temperature, for the mixture to be correct, - Coolant Itvbf To check and topup Warning The cooling system becomes pressurized during engine running. Therefore, extreme care should be taken when removing the pressurecapfrom an enginethat is warm or at normal running temperature. Routine check To check the coolant level outside a normal service schedule and when no coolingheating system fault is reported or suspected, proceed as follows. 1. If the engine is hotensure that the coofant level in the translucent expansion battle is at the MAX mark. Top-up if necessary and reptace-theexpansion battle cap. 2. If the engine is cold ensure that the coolant level in the translucent expansion bottle is half-way betweenthe MIN and MAX marks. Top-up if necessary and replace the expansion bottle cap. 3. If the coolant level in the expansion bottle is either below the MIN mark or there is no coolant in the expansion bottle, carry out the Full check procedure.

L5-'I 1. It is connected to the induction manifold by transfer pipes. All cars are fitted with the same thermostat housing. However, various themostat outlet elbows can be fitted, dependent upon the specification of the vehicle. A number of electrical switches are fitted into the thermostat housing dependent upon the specification of the vehicle. For service details of these switches refer to Electrical Manuals, TSD 4701 (prior to 1989 model year) or TSD 4848 (1989 model year). Thermostat The engine cooling system incorporates a wax element thermostat (seefig. L5-2).When the engine is started from cold the thermostat is in the closed position. This reduces the engine warm-up time by recirculating - the coolant leavingthe engine backto the coolant pump, thus by-passingthe radiator. As the cootant approaches its normal working temperature the thermostat opens and allowsthe engine coolant to flow through the radiator. When the thermostat is in the fully open position it closes the by-pass circuit. On top of the thermostat is the bridge piece and into this is secured the fixed piston rod. The valve assembly containing the wax capsule seat, is on the underside of the top flange. ft is biased i n this position by a spring and retained by a 'U' piece. A second outer 'U' piece (by-passvalve) loaded by a light poundage spring, is fitted to the bottom of the thermostat to operate the by-pass circuit. The top flange incorporatesa vent hole containing a jiggle pin. This vent allows air to escape when the cooling system is being filled. When the system is operating the jiggle pin rises t o close the vent. Also situated around the top flange are fusible plugs. These plugs melt at approximately 124°C (256F) and provide vent holes for the coolant, in the event of the thermostat not opening, to control the coolant temperature. The thermostat operates when the coolant temperature approaches between 85°C and 89°C (185°F and 192°F). At this point the wax in the capsule changes its state and expands rapidly. The expansion compresses the rubber sleeve forcing it off the end of the tapered piston rod. As the sleeve is an integral part of the main valve assembly, this movement is transmitted to the valve moving it downwards off its seat. A small quantity of warm coolant is then allowed to pass between the valve and its seat t o the radiator matrix, where it is cooled. Further rises in engine coolant temperature cause a progressive opening of the main valve until a temperature of between 99°C and '102°C (210°F) and Fig. IS-l Thermostat llousing assembly 215°F) is m i n e d . At these temperatures the main valve is fully open [maximum travel 14.27 mm (0.562 in)]. When the main valve assembly has opened 10 mm (0.375 in), the by-pass valve on the base of the thermostat assembly will have moved under spring pressure sufficiently to close the coolant by-pass circuit and all coolant is then directed to the radiator matrix. A decrease in engine temperature will cause the wax in the capsule to contract and, due to spring pressure, close the main valve and also open the by-pass circuit. The thermostat main valve assembly,. being sensitive to the temperature of the surrounding coolant, controls the flow of coolant to the radiator matrix to suit the requirements of the engine. At the service internals quoted in the Service Schedule Manual, TSD 4702, a newthermostat should be fitted. Do not attempt to adjust the thermostat. - Thermostat To remove 1.

Discard the pump seal. - Coolant pump To inspect 1. Examine the spindle for wear and damage. 2. Examine the bearings for free movement and the inner bores for wear and damage. Normally if the coolant pump is fauky a service exhange unit should befitted. tf this is not available, p r o d as foilows. - Coolant pump To assemble (see fig . L81 1 k is essential t o keep all parts clean during the assembly procedure. 1. Before commencing to assemble the coolant pump, ensure that any damage marks on the joint faces of the bearing housing and pump casing are rectified using a fine carborundum stone. 2. Insert the rear bearing intothe housing and tap down using a mallet and suitablealuminium drift until the bearing is approximately flush with the front inner face of the housing. 3. Fit the front bearing onto the spindle together with the distance piece and insert the assembly into the bearing housing. Tap the spindle gently with a mallet until the bearing starts squarely into its bore. Then, remove the spindle and using a mallet and aluminium drift. drive the bearing into the housing until i t locates against the shoulder. This operation will also drive the rear bearing thecorrect distance into the housing. 4. Fit the outer abutment washer into the housing. 5. Fit the front bearing retaining cirdip, ensuring that the chamfered side is fitted away from the bearing. 6. Fit the spindle into the housing and inven the housing onto the spindle front face. 7 Fit the inner abutment washer onto the spindte. 8. Fit the rear circlip securing the spindle into the housing. 9. Wipe clean the end of the spindle and the counterbore in the housing with a clean cloth. Lubricate the end of the spindle with clean engine oil. Then, tap the pressure balance seal onto the spindle and into the counterbore. 10. Again lubricate the end of the spindle with clean engine oil and press on the impeller, noting that a minimum load of 363 kgf (800 Ibf) should be required. This ensures that the correct interference fit exists between the mating faces. 1l. Usingfeeler gauges, ensure that thegap between the face of the bearing housing and the impeller is between 1,143 m m and t ,219 m m (0.045 in and 0.048 in). 7 2 Spin the assembly to ensurnthat the sh8ft rotates freely.

The original issue of Product Support Information Sheet L1 should be destroyed. Description ICI 007/400F anti-freeze and summer coolant has been introduced on all cars from and including vehicle identification number (VIN) SCBZS0T03HCX20001 and will be supplied for all replacement purposes. Prestone UT 184 coolant which was previously used has been replaced by ICI 007/400F coolant. Prestone UT 184 can be identified by its green colour whilst the new ICI coolant is coloured blue. Although it is generally accepted that coolants should not be mixed, the new ICI coolant can be mixed with Preston UT 184, if the need arises. Warning: Mixing with any other types of coolant is not recommended. If there is any doubt as to what type of coolant is present, it will be necessary to flush the system completely (see Chapter L of the relevant Workshop Manual) before refilling with ICI 007/400F. Whenever a system is refilled with ICI 007/400F, a coolant warning label (part number UE 70988) must be fitted to the radiator or expansion tank in a prominent position.
