    Slow heat creep

    Coolant comes out in full force- no air mixed in when bleeding. The heat worked fine previously. No heat even at highway speeds. I am guessing DCCV before aux pump?

    Slow heat creep

    OK. I replaced all of the parts you recommended and the heat creep is gone. No air release/boiling in the degas bottle, no coolant loss, etc. However, still no heat in the cabin. Could the DCCV be stuck in a closed position? I am stumped because I have gone through the steps to remove any air in...

    I am nearly positive this is the correct part #- XW4Z-8A520-AF. Can you verify?

    Slow heat creep

    Can you verify which part it is from the attached cooling system diagram. My searches are coming up with multiple options.

    Slow heat creep

    The one part I want to make sure I have correct is the crossover hose assembly. When I search for it I get a 3 pack of gaskets for the thermostat. It reads like this on Rock Auto- Cooling System : Coolant Water Crossover Mounting Set VICTOR REINZ Part # GS33515 Material: Victo-Tech Is this correct?

    Thanks again for your help. I am ordering the parts today.

    Do you recommend Rock Auto to get the parts? Also- just to make sure I order correctly- I order the housing for a 2001 Jag S-Type 4.0, right?

    Slow heat creep

    Huh. Any recommendations on getting the trapped air out beyond the steps listed in the tech article here? I have run through all of those steps several times and if I have air trapped, then I am guessing it is in the heater core since it is not blowing hot, and I am not making progress.

    Slow heat creep

    Update: I tried putting a little vaseline around the cap to see if that was where the leak was and drove the car approx. 8 miles in stop and go traffic. The car completely overheated to the point of releasing steam and fluid from around the coolant tank cap and the warning light coming on...

    Thank you. I will check it out.

    Differential fluid

    Perfect. Thanks!

    Slow heat creep

    I will start with the least expensive options first (obviously) and go from there. Can you give me any tips on checking the water pump?

    Differential fluid

    What is the recommended fluid for the diff? BTW- I had a tech tell me that it should be changed at every oil change....for $70. Yeah....right.

    Slow heat creep

    To add another variable. I don't think that the heat is blowing as hot as it should. Does that add the DCCV into the mix?

    Slow heat creep

    So- if the Vaseline trick doesn't show an improvement I am going to guess that the water pump is my next culprit. Do you agree?
