Bentayga - Engine Cooling System - DTC P218100
Transaction No.: 2060205/1
Customer statement / workshop findings
Emission Control Lamp illuminated on Driver Instrument Panel. The time to reach the correct engine coolant operating temperature has
increased.
Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) ‘P218100 - Cooling System Performance’ is stored in the Engine Control Module (ECM), the vehicle “ warm
up” time is longer when compared to other vehicles of the same type.
Technical background
It is possible for the engine coolant Thermostat to corrode over time, this corrosion is due to an adverse reaction of the Thermostat material with
the engine coolant.
The corrosion and subsequent build-up of debris prevents the correct operation of the thermostat when closing, resulting in over cooling. The
ECM triggers a DTC when the target engine temperature is outside of the specified parameter.
Production change
Under investigation.

the engine coolant thermostat, refer to 19 – Engine cooling – Coolant regulator (Thermostat insert) (V8 biturbo) – To remove and fit. Once
completed, retest the vehicle to ensure correct functionality.
