I know there are other threads talking about this topic but I would like some more info.I have a 2016 F-type v6 and I just ordered the Euro amp v3 full kit withthe Aluminum Thermostat with a Sensor, Aluminum Coolant Crossover Pipes, Water Pump, and the Thermostat Outlet Hose with Copper Fittings, Copper Bleeder Screw, Cross Over Plug, Aluminum Heater Manifold Pipe, Aluminum Oil Cooler Inlet Tube, Solid Supercharger Snout Coupler and Intake Plenum Gaskets. I have not changed the diff fluid, transmission fluid or supercharger oil yet. Planning on doing the supercharger oil when the kit is installed. Is there anything else that should be done while the supercharger is off besides everything I just listed? Supercharger and aux belt maybe? not sure, just never wanna take it off again. Nothing is leaking to my knowledge, im at 54k miles and wanna get it done just to be sure.

 

Edit: Its like pulling teeth with this car. Just want to get everything sorted so it can be a reliable car that'll run forever. I know the diff is sensitive, but other than that I think this kit takes care of all the problems. Just want any other issues listed just so I can replace it and prevent anything from happening. I love the car so the last thing I want is to be stranded.

 

Your list is pretty comprehensive for items that can be more easily replaced while the supercharger is off; other items would be the differential fluid and the ZF transmission fluid (which usually means replacing the pan/filter, mechatronic sleeve, bolts etc.). But these last items are not of the “while I’m in there” variety and can certainly be done later.

 

Ok so I pretty much got everything? Found a guy doing it for $1200 to install everything... Seems like a great deal to me. Maybe replace the bests and bearings on the sc snout? not sure if I really should spend the extra money though as I am replacing the coupler too while im there. I have no noises coming from it except for a clunk when it turns off. Not sure if that is normal but it'll hopefully be taken care of if its an issue with the coupler and an oil change. So I hopefully am good with all the "while im in there" stuff to keep her running for a long time. Just want some advice.

 

One clunk when shutting the engine off is pretty much normal. I recently had the new metal pipes, water pump, thermostat, supercharger oil and the snout damper (with an OEM piece, not an aftermarket solid one) replaced by my JLR dealer on my F-Type with 57,000 kms on it. All of this was elective replacement as none of the original items were leaking or faulty. The original damper also was intact, the supercharger’s shaft for the damper was not marked in any way and apart from a single clunk on shutdown there were no noises from the damper.

 

it’s a planned 10+ hour job, so $1200 is a good deal. A lot of times it takes more time. $120/hr is a pretty low rate. The dealers and even a lot of good Indy’s are in the $200 range and more.

I did same and changed both the belts too. The belts are relatively cheap. Labor is free in this case. And those belts are 7-8 years from the manufacture date. So time to change anyways. my Indy also suggested pulling all the fuel injectors for inspection and replaced the seal. Happy to have that inspected at the same time.


Fuel injector seal.

 

It’s unrelated to the S/C and cooling pipes, but the service schedule calls for changing the brake fluid every 3 years.

 

The injectors would probably be a good idea. How much time does that add on though?

 

Yup got that done when I got my rotors and pads replaced. You always have a lot of good info in other forum posts. Got a lot of info from you so I appreciate it.

 

In case you haven’t come across it, here’s my Dropbox repository of F-type-related stuff I’ve collected over the years, mostly from this forum.

ok wow thanks. Would you think I should do the bearings with the coupler, or is there no need.

 

Not sure. Didn't cost me anything extra except parts. (seals) But if it has to add a lot because an injector is frozen in or needs to be replaced, it will be a fraction of what it would cost with the supercharger on. If they did have any trouble getting the injectors out at all, I didn't hear about it.

 

That's true, im just honestly worried to drive the car right now because im worried the pipes are gonna burst. I will probably have them check out the injectors.

I work for Timken. (Not a bearing application guy, but I know a few.) I would bet the bearings in that supercharger are designed to last the life of the unit. Most common cause of any bearing failure is lubrication, i.e lack of or contamination. So lube change is a good idea. Bearing change without any signs of failure is unnecessary.

 

FWIW, here’s a report of a bad EuroAmp part on the XE forum…
