I’ve got a ‘14 V6S that just rolled over 60k miles. The other day I think I blew one of the plastic cooling pipes. Luckily, close to home. Never got overheat message, temp never rose above normal. Flatbed to my local indie. Waiting on diagnosis, but want to be prepped. What should I have done while the supercharger is off? I’ve already got a new belt. Should I:
1. Change out supercharger oil
2. Spark plugs
3. Water pump
4. T-stat housing

thanks for sharing your collective wisdom.

 

For pipes replace the y and over pipe, and the rear crossover pipe at least (there are aftermarket aluminum alloy pipes or you can just replace with the factory plastic). Also consider replacing the sc coupler (oem or solid zzp coupler). Remove the insulation underneath the sc, and prepare to replace the valve cover bolts if they are looking nasty and corroded. Obviously any hoses that seem brittle should be addressed.

 

Replace the S/C snout and coupler, I was going to do just the coupler. But at 70k miles the coupler did a number on the input shaft, so I went ahead and replaced the snout. Not sure I had to, but the coupler had worn slight grooves in the shaft.
