What type of coolant should I put in my 2001 VDP? Unfortunately, I do not have the owner's manual....

 

Pezz, you need to look in your overflow bottle and see what color coolant is in there now. Any coolant will work in your car, but currently there are a few different blends out there and some are not compatible with others. There are some universal ones out there too. So, look at your car, stop by the auto parts store and I am sure the parts people will be able to help you get the right stuff.

 

By 2001, Jaguar had moved to OAT formula in all models. OAT is the formula that should not be mixed with other formulas. Look for a label on your header tank that says something to the effect to - use coolant orange in color only.

Check though, that if your car was previously owned, someone hasn't changed or mixed formulas already. If the color isn't orange, and if it were mine, I'd be draining/flushing and replacing with (OAT) orange.

 

Here is the info that was issued when your car was new
