Need Help with coolant.
Coolant fan not coming on when coolant temp indicator is nearly in the red.
But, the strange thing is, the hoses are not hot to the touch.
Humm... Strange
Is this normal for Jaguar.
I'm new to Jaguars just bought a 2002 S type 2 days ago.
I thought the coolant will flow once the thermostat opened up.
Added coolant because I had to replace the radiator.
I've worked on plenty of cars but this cars coolant system seem quite complicated.
are there bleeders I need to know about with this vehicle.
Need advise
Thanks

 

Temp indicator in the Red isn't normal for Any car!
