Coolant leak
#21
Glad you found the problem..Sorry you got an Aftermarket POS..I would call their toll free number (1-866-841-7776) and tell them the BS you had to do to get it to work..then mention that you will air your grievances on an INTERNATIONAL JAGUAR FORUM for the world to see...Perhaps they will make things right..who knows..
good luck

I didn't add any coolant, I just topped it off with distilled water. I figured I can get by on that until I have time to flush and fill with the Jag coolant. Is there a sticky on the coolant flush/fill? I didn't see one.

You can also disconnect the hoses to the heater core and push distilled water through them to clean out the heater core. Just leave the water in the heater core and use it as part of the water you added (if you are mixing your own). If you are using 50/50 it's still not enough water to worry about it spoiling the mix but if you think it's an issue you can push 50/50 next until you see orange.
I don't remember the flow direction but if you trace the hoses you can tell what hose goes to the core and what hose comes from the core. Push the clean-out water in backwards to the normal direction and prepare to be amazed how much crap comes out of your heater core.
The lower radiator hose, on mine anyway, 2002 2.5, has a drain tap. You don't even have to pull off the hose. It's on the right hand side, underneath the bumper, in a square cutout.
