1997 Jaguar XJ6 - Yellow Coolant?

[therion]

The dealer says this car takes a yellow coolant. I asked what it is and they said they don't know. I am assuming it is a low silicate, low phosphate solution. Would the "jaguar coolant" be just rebadged G-05 @ $35/5L?

I hope so becuase thats too expensive for coolant.

It probably is G-05, since that's been used in Europe for 20 years and is just now showing up here. Even if it isn't, I think you'd be perfectly safe using G-05. Just make sure your shop uses a coolant flush machine and completely purge the system with distilled water before refilling with a 50/50 mix of G-05 and distilled water.
