    Is this leak coolant or transmission fluid?

    ...the intention of seeing if it returned today. Well it did. This time a lot more clean. It has an orange-ish tint. Pics below. Is this coolant or trans fluid? Whatever it is, it must be a very small leak, as the under tray was dry as a bone when I removed it. And it never actually...

    What kind of leak is this?

    If you're just looking under the vehicle for coolant, you might not find anything. Skid plate will catch a lot of it.

    Loosing a little bit of coolant

    Very interesting that you bring this up; before thanksgiving I thought I smelled coolant after a drive, coolant level dropped to halfway btw lines. Topped it off, kept an eye on it for a few days with no other changes. Went to Tulsa for thanksgiving (9hr drive), added just a splash more. Came...

    Serpentine/Accessory belt failure on a very wet, dark MI road in the middle of nowhere...

    As mentioned previously; when the belt broke it also damaged the coolant temperature sensor found directly below the thermostat; here are some images; for reference you can see the AC compressor behind the connector: The damage is to both the thermostat which can be found here at FCP Euro...

    ...the crank pulleys): Which appears to have knocked out some temperature sensor just below the thermostat (this has the potential to leak coolant so need to watch this): And the idler pulley that's supposed to be behind the viscous fan pulley is completely not secured and rattling around...

    Check engine light on

    Yes, the check engine light is actually on full-time. Not a lot of coolant spilled on any connectors if any.. After everything was put back together it actually ran OK for a while before the check engine light came on. So it actually did work for a little bit before the check engine light came...

    Coolant Crossover Pipe Repair 5.0 V8

    the two killers of these engines are coolant component failures and timing chains (to a lesser degree). not aware of other big instances where engines just blow up. i would absolutely take care of cooling system maintenance proactively.

    Is this a failing crossover pipe?

    The heater core can be replaced without removing the dash. The coolant pipes just have to be tweaked a little bit while removing. Basically, remove the center console and HVAC control panel.

    Some vehicles have a symposer. Which is attached to that fitting. The vehicles that don't have it, the port is capped off. The symposer creates a V8 like sound on acceleration.

    ...on the back of the intake manifold? I know this was developed during pretty lean times at JLR, but this makes no sense to me. Looks like a coolant outlet that has been blanked out. For anyone else that goes down this path, watch out for those fender points. I've bumped my head on them...

    Serpentine/Accessory belt failure on a very wet, dark MI road in the middle of nowhere...

    ...how long you were running hot, but your temp shot up because the water pump stopped circulating which is very different from losing all your coolant and running dry (as happens with the crossover failure scenario). In your case, I expect your temps were not near as high, so if you kept it...

    Adding Pentofrost SF to OEM LR Coolant?

    When I replaced my radiator I just went for OEM coolant from the dealer. They sell the concentrated formula and it was surprisingly cheap.

    LR4 - Coolant Under Pressure When Cold

    Legit question... and my logic is basically that if the head has a crack and no coolant has degraded the oil, then it is less likely that there are deeper engine problems caused by the engine running with degraded oil. This helps me rationalize the idea of repairing the engine instead of...

    How to: Supercharger Removal, Rear Crossover, and Passenger Valve Cover

    ...for a long while. Every time I think otherwise and start considering what the current options are that might at least duplicate what it offers (and their cost)..I come to my senses. I will probably deal with the flawed coolant components preemptively. Good luck with the repair, and enjoy the...

    There she blows, (maybe coolant crossover)

    Well, it looks like my car decided to relieve its self of all of its coolant after a drive to one of my buddy’s houses. I’m guessing it’s the inevitable coolant crossover pipe but I’m not too sure. I’ll keep you guys updated when I hear from the shop on Monday. Good news is my oil temperature...

    Fluids change after 9 years?

    I'll add to the budget. I get the wisdom of the fluids and lubes, but can't see doing 'spark plugs' until there seems to be an issue? Save those $'s in case one of the coolant pipes starts spewing before 40K? (SMH..LOL).

    Coolant Crossover Pipe Repair 5.0 V8

    Gonna need some help here. Long story short, something happened while my son was driving to school. Coolant light came on as he pulled into the parking lot. I went over and topped it off with coolant during the day, and told him to just drive it home and park it. On his way home the coolant...

    Made an appointment for timing chain fix

    I was asking them to replace the remaining coolant parts (pump, t-stat, hoses, etc), I already did the rear crossover. Since the front crossover requires the intake to be removed all the coolant replacement parts went under a different quote than the timing chain components. Because of that...

    "Typical" failure mode for coolant parts?

    Getting ready to do some preventive maintenance on my 2016 LR4, and I got to thinking that I'd like to understand better how the plastic parts typically fail. For example, if the molded plastic parts often split open at the mold seams, it might be that reinforcing those parts a bit might help...

    Another LR4 Saved from Coolant Death

    ...I was told was 2 weeks remaining (win). I'd just had a service and long trip prep the week before a 10 hour trip and mentioned having to add coolant a couple times recently and to check for leaks. I was going on a 10 hour trip. After this service the amber no-ECO light came on but we had to...

    V8 Coolant Manifold / Crossover & Maintenance Parts List

    You do need a pressure tester and the correct adapter to fit the coolant reservoir.

    Is this a failing crossover pipe?

    OP never came back. Eating a pint of coolant every week or so and no visible leaks? Sounds like a head and there is a good chance why this vehicle was dumped in the first place. Look I scooped up a cool LR4 for almost nothing and it looks brand new!

    2015 LR4 Coolant Change Issues

    ...originating from the thermostat assembly so I replaced it. Since I am sitting at 160k miles I thought it would be a good idea to change the coolant. After draining the old and flushing the system I filled with new. The problem I am having is I am not getting heat from the rear controls but I...

    OEM Waterpump vs British Atlanta/ProFlow

    I don't know about the quality these days or must be bad luck. But this was a OEM crossover heater pipe I got at a Land Rover dealership in LA recently. It seems to have crack/bad seams.
