Oil cooler lines weeping
#21
Hey Bob,
There is one bolt on the auxiliary coolant pump that needs to be removed. Once you get that out the pump will move enough to allow you to get to the bolt for the dccv from the top, no need to disconnect hoses.
You also need to disconnect the harnesses under the car on the right side (same side as the dccv). There are only two bolts that hold the shroud in.
There's a decent illustration of the harness connectors in the workshop manual. I use the pdf manual far more often as I don't want to get my laptop all greasy. I assume there's a link to it on the forum? If not I'll post one. It's 64 mb and 3316 pages, covers everything the jtis does(at least so far)
Hope that helps!
Mike

Did you ever verify the size and type of fitting that connects the lines to the radiator? I cross threaded one and need to find the correct tap and die. This on my '05 XJ8, but with the 4.2 it should be the same (or at least a place to start).

Unfortunately I never did verify the size, I used the old fittings and spliced into the hard lines so didn't need them. I believe I checked the thread pitch and verified it to be 1.5 mm. I'm a machinist so I deal with threads all the time but can't say for absolute certainty.
