Unhappy 01 xk8

I apologize ahead of time for not knowing how to use the forum ..... I need help plsss. I had my car in the shop for a throttle body problem when i picked up my car they had also replaced the themostat and housing and hose, well now I smell a hot temp as if my car is hot but my gauge doesnt . I opened my hood and looked at the reservoir tank. There appear to be (2) hoses one going to the front of the motor, radiator I assume, the other not attached just a piece of rubber tubing stuck on there and hanging loosely plstell me if this hose should be attched somewhere. I am a woman trying to do this on my own and not wanting to spend another fortune. I do hear gurgling but it is coming from the recovery tank and i cant locate it to see if the hoses have been switched. Thankyou

Welcome, I'm sure the folks here will be of great help to you.

You'll need to post anything pertaining to your model in that category for it.
Also, go to "User CP" and look for "Edit Signature"....put the year and model
and color combination of your car in your signature.

Good luck to you!

Hello and welcome to jaguarforums.com. I know that you are anxious to get started and we are anxious to meet you and talk about your car. We have a baseline / criteria that must be met before full access can be granted. Please enjoy the forum and be patient once the baseline has been satisfied full access will be granted. Please continue to post and accept my welcome to the forum.

If you haven’t already you need to put your car details in your signature. I am speaking of the Year, Make & Model. Without it you may not get the input you are looking for. To do this go to, User CP, Edit Signature, Add Vehicle Details and such and Save Your Signature.

Please take a moment and read the information provided to you explaining the rules. Be patient and enjoy the site.

Also, should you have questions related to your vehicle please post it in the section for your model year (MY) car. This way you will reach all the members that are familiar with your MY car.
