Ok folks.. I'm determined to keep this thread alive!!! LOL.. Unfortunately, this evening being the coldest day of this year (yeah it's a joke) at a frigid 12 degrees; my lovely XJ8 decided it was time for the heater to start acting up again. This time I noticed the passenger side vents were going ice cold as well. If I rev her up a few times, heat comes back. Driving, it seems to stay pretty warm (but sometimes it goes cold while driving too). At idle it starts drifting back to ice cold again. Coolant is full, runs great. I'm leaning toward a faulty AUX coolant pump. Maybe the pump is getting weak. It does have 104K miles on it. Thoughts? If anyone else finds they need a new AUX water pump, I have found PartsGeek has brand new ones at a steal!!!
Here it is: 05 2005 Jaguar XJ8 Auxiliary Water Pump - Cooling System - Genuine - PartsGeek
$192.10 with free shipping. Please tell me what you think.. No codes, no check engine light, no funny smell, no water on floorboards, coolant is 100% FULL. Thoughts on it being the belt driven water pump??? Thanks again guys!

Well this may well be my last post on this forum. I have a guy on his way from Indianapolis wanting to trade me his 2009 Dodge Charger 3.5HO with 81K miles for the Jag. I'm about ready for a normal, American car. I love my Jag, and I will surely miss all of it's amazing features, and class; however I need a car that I can work on myself, and can afford shop repairs if I can't do the work myself. This is an amazing forum, and I appreciate all of the help. I'll update if the trade goes through.
