2025 F-pace SVR 575 has OEM Metal pipes for cooling pipes for the SVR a little late in the game but they finally listened after all the videos and discussions us members make, I wished they had listened

 

The original Jaguar and Range Rover 5.0 SC V8 engines came from the factory with (front) metal cooling pipes but I guess they changed to plastic because its cheaper.

 

yes i remember that ,and we couldn't believe they went plastic, but my XF has all metal, added waer wetter by redline ,drove 1300 miles on them with no issues , felt good knowing you have that security

 

Unfortunately all metal is not an option for my 2012 XF 5.0 NA. However I recently fitted a new water pump (after 35k miles) and have just completed a 5000 mile round trip from Toronto to Canmore, Alberta and back without incident. No coolant was added during or after the trip, and the running temperature was steady at 188F, except for a high of 206F during afternoon rush hour through Chicago traffic.

 

Well we made it happen for the SC now we'll make it happen for the Na.thats why we're here to help each other

 

That would be great. My 2012 XF NA has 78k miles and is probably overdue for coolant pipe replacement.

 

Coming soon
