Default Water Pump Failure in this F-Type R?!?


not sure what to think about this?? They appears to be coolant under the car.
This is not just F-Type but any Jaguar V8 like XK, XF,XJ as well....

Seeing how the F-Type was run in the vid, my guess is a failure of a large hose of some type--like a upper/lower radiator hose, heater core hose, coolant recovery tank return hose, etc. Less likely suspects--the thermostat housing or possible radiator tank failure.

The volume of lost coolant is a tell, as is the amount of steam (which indicates a large volume of coolant spraying around some very hot engine parts (including the supercharger housing, which takes up a goodly amount of real estate under the hood).

On the assumption the H20 pump didn't just disintegrate into a bajillion pieces, a failed pump usually loses coolant in a more "controlled" fashion via seepage or trickling.
