Answer

Hello again

You need to check a few things that are common issues with your x-type. Make sure the fans are coming on. Those vehicles had problems with the cooling fan module, t-stat, t-stat hose walking off the housing causing a major leak, and the water pump impellars breaking. You don't want to drive this vehicle when it's running hot you can due major engine damage.

Hopefully this answers your question and you accept. Positive feedback is appreciated and please let me know if I can assist you with anything else.
