few days ago XJ had a leak around heater core valve. When starting it was just a drip but now it is leaking more. Ordered replacement, but until arrival of it, the leakage may increase and lost all coolant. Decide to direct connect hoses and bought 2 of them.
Just tried to remove top hose, but unsuccessful. this end of valve was broken and leakage was there.
carefully removed broken plastic from hose end, the valve itself is below
nicely done
and vacuum control temporarily hung there till arrival of replacement.
Bought oversized Wix filter for 4.0. Part number is 51515.
