In Part 1 of this 2-part series, watch how to remove the 3 plastic OEM coolant pipes on the 5.0L V8 (and similarly for the 3.0L V6) supercharged petrol Jaguar/Land Rover engines that are prone to catastrophic engine failure when they break. Process includes removal of the air intake, fan, belts & tensioners, cowling, supercharger, water pump (optional), and thermostat (optional). This will save you thousands of $s, and if you purchase the aluminum Cooling System Upgrade Kit from www.euro-amp.com using discount code ROBB25 you’ll save another $50! You’re welcome.

Awesome quality, amazing details……. can't say enough!!
Awesome work and I would love to let you do all that on my RRS (2016). So let me know where u hiding at …
I would very much like to see the bleed procedure after all that work I have a 2016 all that work was done however I believe air is still trapped in the system please send me a msg and ill explain what I mean but I need to see air purge procedure after all that work plz
Thank you Robb for making this series. I used this video along with another based on a V8 F type to make this repair on a V6 XF. Normally I won't attempt automotive work outside of maintanence items like plugs, filters, oil, or a basic parts swap but the lowest indy estimate on this job was $3K . Just finished a few days ago, it took about 15 hours. So far it looks like I pulled it off. Couldn't have done it without your channel!
Great camera work! Glad you went in soon after the leak developed. Sounds like many just top the coolant off, as the head warps.
I have question. I have 3 l super charger velar with 84 000 miles. Mechanic advised sale , he told me v 6 on land rovers is not living longer then 100 000 miles. What’s your opinion?
Is one the "Y pipe" the other the "cross over pipe"?
@robbsgarage will the engine cooler gasket, main supercharger gasket, and throttle body gasket you got fit the same on a 2010 Jaguar XFR ?
that must be the v8 because I didn't have to remove the fan
did you disconnect the battery from the negative terminal when doing this repair?
Is this the same kit I would need for my 2017 V8 supercharged Range Rover? It’s not the sport version. I noticed that the super charger coupling is green in this video but you replace it with a black one in the second video. Thanks for the great videos and the detail!
Need part 2
I bought the kit and The Land Rover dealership is now installing everything new…..my 2015 HSE Sport Supercharged just hit 100,000 miles
Hey Robb
Where is part 2 and how’s it going with euro amp aluminum replacement kit?
Thanx for the video. I'm really interested to know your final results. I've done this job already for the 3 pipes but I'm thinking about going with the aluminum thermostat as well. So, far it's been about 3 months and no issues with the updated aluminum pipes for the 3.0L. They fit fine and installed well.
I see some people posting online that the aftermarket is junk and it's going to fail but I really can't see any signs of future problems.
Quick question- currently in the middle of this job and just reinstalled the aluminum water pump to oil cooler pipe. When I took the plastic one off there was no O-ring behind it but it seemed to fit snug – the new aluminum pipe seems like the tube on the oil cooler side is not as long as the plastic. I did not find any O-rings with it in the kit and it seems a tad looser than the plastic one. Did you have this issue? Did your kit come with a new o-ring for oil cooler side? I am not sure what type of pressure goes through that tube but the way it feels now it seems like it would leak on the oil cooler side. TIA.
Will this cause engine compartment to smoke?
Thank you for the part 1 helped a lot. We are waiting on the part 2 drop also. Thank you for all you.
Hey Rob – thanks for the video. Working through this on my 2015 right now.
I ordered the new JLR OEM aluminum coolant pipes from atlantic british. I heard some conflicting things about aftermarket and euro amp quality, confirmed by my local indy. If you haven’t reassembled yet, might want to explore the OEM pipe option, now that they’ve been revised to aluminum. Just a suggestion, keep up the great work!
