Why is my Jaguar Vanden Plas making engine noise?

Unusual noises can signal a problem with your Jaguar Vanden Plas engine. Tapping or knocking could mean you need an oil change. Whistling sounds could mean you have an intake leak or misaligned belt. Squealing can indicate a loose fan belt, and grinding could be a sign that something is wrong with your brakes — not the engine.

What could damage my Jaguar Vanden Plas engine?

Can I add water to my Jaguar Vanden Plas radiator?

An emergency is the only time you should consider putting water in your radiator. Outside of that, it’s recommended you use a pre-mixed coolant or a 50/50 blend of water and coolant. However, if you need to continue driving your Vanden Plas when you’re out of coolant, having water in the coolant reservoir is better than nothing.
