Is It Time for Service on My 1994 Jaguar XJS Cooling System?

Not sure what a radiator does? That makes it difficult to know when to have your Jaguar XJS radiator serviced, but it’s vital to know what to look for. Your radiator is part of the cooling system. It helps regulate engine temperature. When the radiator isn't working properly, your engine can overheat and potentially break down.

Staying on top of routine radiator maintenance for your 1994 Jaguar XJS is a huge factor in the longevity of your engine. To keep your radiator functioning, Jaguar recommends replacing your antifreeze or coolant at scheduled intervals but you can also take note of any signs your radiator is going bad. You could be on the verge of a radiator-induced engine breakdown if you see coolant leaks under your car, high engine temperatures, or a dashboard light that indicates low coolant. When you experience one or more of these issues, head to your local Firestone Complete Auto Care for a Courtesy Check.
