1998 XJR wining noise before start
Hello,
Would appreciate help on my XJR noise issue.
Once I turn the key and BEFORE starting the engine, I hear a winning noise from the engine. This just started yesterday and now I am afraid to start the engine. It sounds like wining electric motor somewhere in the front part of the engine.
Any ideas?

There is a large recessed Hex cap at the front of the intercooler assembly that you can remove to check if the cooling circuit is full. I have used a Hex head bolt turned upside down with a pair of vice grips to open the cap as i did not have a large enough wrench. If needed, add coolant until it is filled and then replace the cap. The pump should hopefully now run without any grinding sounds.
Do you know why you were low on coolant?

Thanks, the support and help is great.
I think you are right, it is the inter cooler pump, the noise is coming from the lower right side of the radiator, where the pump is located.
I found a tiny leak from the radiator that is causing the low coolant, car stayed idle for over 6 months and coolant went low. Is there a solution that does not include changing the radiator?
Again, thanks a lot for the help.
