So, just got the news from the garage that I didn't want, they have replaced my snout on my supercharger with a new one, and it is still noisy, suspected damaged internals.....

So, looks like a 'New' one, which for me means a refurb/rebuild as I am no longer under warranty and $3700 for a new one is a bit steep.........

That's where you guys come in.. First, I want to make absolutely sure I get the right one, and second, I could really do with some recommendations as to the best place to get one. Either in the USA, or UK. I am off to the UK end of this month and the Missus is going to the States later this month.....

You have an Eaton TVS R1320 supercharger. For a rebuild, I would only trust SuperchargersOnline.com as they are the only Eaton authorized rebuilder. They do ship worldwide.
You might also search the internet to find a new one at a better price than from your local dealer. The part number you need is AJ813867. Here in the US, they appear to be available for around $3150, but that won't include the shipping cost.

 

Also take this opportunity to port your SC.

 

Unhingd, is there a post about your car? I know you polished the intercooler, but I was curious what else you have done to your car.

 

 

I'm on a real computer and I don't even SEE a signature...

 

Same here with the "real computer".
Lance's sig details show in post #2, but strangely not in post #5.
Maybe Lance unticked the "Show your signature" box under Additional Options in post #5????

Interesting! Sometimes the sig shows up and sometimes not.

Anyway, here's a list of mods:

 

I would ask some questions about the service technician and what checks they carried out, particularly if it's out of warranty and you're paying for parts and labour

You seem to imply that they have removed and replaced supercharger snout and then found problems with the supercharger, no doubt charging you for a snout and labour to fit.

The TSB for noisy supercharger explains what test to carry out to determine whether the solution is to replace the snout or the entire supercharger, thus suggests to me a replace and assume this will fix it rather than follow procedure.

Will attach appropriate TSB when I find it. (Originally obtained of the forum)

 

TSB for supercharger for 3.0L V6

 

Yeah I gave them the TSB before we did the snout and they did all the checks. Went back today and took off the belt and ran. Definite knocking noise from the SC, so it looks like a change out.

To be fair, the previous 'ticking' from the SC has gone, so the snout needed to be changed, but it looks like it might have been masking the knocking..

Word of warning for anybody that runs without SC belt on though, got halfway home and my dash lit up like a Christmas tree, many alerts!! It didn't like it at all, had to go back again and plug in the computer and reset everything....
