Can you mix Evans coolant with water?
What effect will mixing Evans coolant with water or water-based coolant have on my cooling system? In the short term, no performance issues should result from mixing a small amount of conventional coolant or straight water with Evans waterless coolant.
Can coolant be used without water?
Reason No. 3 is that water must be mixed with the antifreeze-coolant in order to keep the performance additives (silicates, phosphates and nitrates) suspended. Without water, these important additives tend to settle. If they do that, you lose anti-corrosion and other additive protection.
How do I switch to waterless coolant?
How do I install Evans waterless coolant in my vehicle?
- Drain all old water-based coolant out from radiator, block, and heater core if accessible.
- Use high volume air to force out remaining coolant.
- Fill with Evans Prep Fluid (waterless flush) and run for 15 minutes to circulate.
What kind of engine does a Jaguar XJ6 have?
Air conditioning was standard, but no manual gearbox was offered. Jaguar raised the XJ6 and XJ12 front bumpers to meet U.S. regulations in the 1974 Series II, and fuel-injection replaced the V-12’s four carburetors, pumping the engine from 244 hp to 285 hp in 1975. The XJ6 was fuel-injected from 1978 and both were LWB-only from 1974.

When did the cooling system change on a Jaguar?
Somewhere around 1988 — possibly coinciding with the introduction of long-life phosphate-free coolant — Jaguar went from the overdesigned drain cock to no drain cock at all. On later cars, it is necessary to disconnect the lower radiator hose to drain the coolant. Wearing a tux is not recommended.
What kind of thermostat do I need for a Jaguar XJ6?
Make sure you use the correct thermostat on early pre-XJ6 engines as many of the early 3.8 litre ones with cracks have been fitted with the smaller modem thermostat. Carburetted cars run well with 75 degrees C thermostats drilled as above; fuel injected cars need an 88 degree C thermostat drilled to cancel out the heat.
Where is the overflow tank cap on a Jaguar XJ6?
For a Series III XJ6, replace the header tank cap with a flat non-venting cap and the overflow tank cap with a 15 lb pressure cap (The header tank is located on the front of the coolent rail on the top, intake side of the engine, the overflow tank is on the fender wall).
Models covered Jaguar XJ6 models with 3.2 litre (3239 cc), 3.6 litre (3590 cc) & 4.0 litre (3980 cc) six-cylinder in-line dohc petrol engines and automatic transmission
What’s the boiling point of coolant in a Jaguar?
The same goes for your cooling system. When your system operates at it’s rated 15 psi pressure (XJ6 Series III) the boiling point of the coolant circulating inside of your head and block is much higher than if your system is operating at ambient pressure.
What was the purpose of the Jaguar XJ Series III?
Not surprising, since all of these cars were sold with an XJ6 badge on them. The Series III was originally intended as a stop-gap model; something to keep the wolves from the door while the replacement for the original (then 10-year-old design) was designed and built.
