So where do you buy your
.. T-Stat and coolant
So where do you buy your engine coolant. Recently I noticed the faint smell of antifreeze and my reservoir was slightly down. Pressure tested the system and it held pretty good. The smell seemed to come from the T-Stat area and knowing that the housing can deteriorate with age and crack, as a preventative measure I bought a new housing and T-stat. The cost from the dealer was not bad, what I did not expect was the price of the coolant $110. + tis (Canadian) for a 5L jug. As I was there I bought it, but was wondering where others buy theirs…..

I got the antifreeze at a local home improvement store, it met the spec listed in the owners manual. Think it was around $20 USD per gallon.

Thanks kj07xk. The t-stat and complete housing (not just the 'goose neck) with temp sending unit was slightly over $200 Canadian which seemed OK for a dealer price. The price of the coolant seemed a bit out of whack. Funny enough, I called the parts store that I usually deal with and they do carry orange coolant - wss-m97b44d - at half the Jaguar price. I'm not a cheap guy, but, I will return the high priced coolant back to the dealership and go have a drink with my buds with the difference looked at your link and its exactly what I picked up.

Depends on VIN and engine, but for 4.2.. This is OE from the manufacturer to Jaguar.

There are too many different combinations over the year ranges and engine models for one fits all. It might be worth your time to call them though, and let a part specialist see if they can get the OE for you. Just sayin'

+1 as above. I just purchased a complete housing from Jaguar and while the image On the link looks close, I think its slightly different.
