Changed out the thermostat, all the associated hoses, both the ect sensors, and put on the uprated Bosch intercooler pump over the winter. Car isn't quite ready to be back on the road yet, still dealing with front bumper/grilles (waiting on grilles to show up).
But anyway, I've been running it, topping off coolant levels, etc. The engine temperature now won't get above 205 with the heater on or not. I think it got up to 210 the other day, and I was expecting the cooling fan to come on but it never did. What temp should the fan come on and why won't my engine get hotter than that just sitting and idling in my shop? Been 30 minutes now and I'm still going from 195-200° F.

Any time a dealer steps up and does a repair because they decided it was the right thing is great to me. It would be nice if all did this but it usually isn't the case unless they get something out of it. They have a business and if they get reimbursed by Jag NA then they and you made out OK.

Water pump in my 2002 XKR was replaced yesterday under the same symptoms as Booskisjag's. First we replaced the thermostat just because we would replace anyway if it turned out to be water pump. Thermostat replacement did not solve problem but when the water pump was replaced, everything returned to normal. I had no leaks, no steam, reservoir was full before and after warning lights went on and auxilary fans kicked on.
