Jaguar Vanden Plas overheating issue despite new thermostat and water pump on Jaguar Vanden Plas

Problem overview

Some Jaguar Vanden Plas owners report experiencing overheating issues even after replacing the thermostat and water pump. These problems may stem from a blockage in the cooling system, such as a clog in the radiator or restricted hoses that hinder proper coolant circulation. Additionally, some owners find that air pockets trapped in the cooling system during maintenance can lead to improper coolant flow and subsequent overheating. A malfunctioning radiator fan is another potential cause, as it may fail to cool the radiator adequately, resulting in engine overheating. Furthermore, issues with the head gasket can contribute to overheating by allowing coolant to leak into the cylinders or mix with engine oil. Lastly, some owners report that a faulty temperature sensor may inaccurately read engine temperature, leading to incorrect operation of the cooling system. To effectively resolve these overheating issues, it is advisable for owners to seek a thorough inspection by a qualified mechanic to diagnose the specific cause.
