Jaguar XK8 Auto Refurb: Removing the Coolant Expansion Tank (Gearbox Removal Prep). AT02 XKR X100

In this episode of our Jaguar XK8 automatic transmission refurbishment series, we focus on a crucial step in gaining access for the gearbox removal: removing the coolant expansion tank.

Whether you're dealing with a leaking tank, low coolant messages, or simply need to access components behind it, this video will guide you through the removal process.

We'll detail the steps involved in safely disconnecting the tank and removing it from the vehicle. This is a necessary step for us as we prepare to remove the catalytic converters, which require access to the manifold to catalytic converter nuts on the left-hand side of the engine.

Stay tuned for more updates on our XK8 automatic transmission refurbishment project!
