X Type Drive Belt Noise

Hello,

My quest to bring my Jag X type 2.5 with 140000 KM into better then it was condition is continuing!!

At present I am experiencing a strange knocking noise coming from the area of the Water Pump, Pulley or Tensioner . This is the belt behind the battery box on the engine. The area that has just the larger Pulley is seeping oil, the pulley itself is also kinda loose and wobbles....

Has anyone had a similar issue with this area around this pulley having a leak?

Has any one replaced this part or the pulley if it has a wobble??

The one on that side is the water pump one.

G'day Striker,

Of the three pulleys on that side of the engine the largest one is driven by a coupling from the front camshaft and by the belt drives the water pump. The small pulley towards the rear of the engine is the water pump pulley and the small pulley towards the front of the engine is the spring loaded belt tensioner.

Have you tried tightening the three bolts which secure the large pulley? Maybe they have worked loose. If the water pump has been replaced these bolts will have been removed and replaced.

The large pulley has it's own shaft and bearing, have a look here at item #12, the bearing may be worn.

Cheers,
Jeff.

I went to Advance auto and checked all pulleys. One of them looked exactly like w.p. tensioner pulley, but price was about $40. I'll try to find part number.

Hello, moron! Nice to see your dumb posts here. My X was gone couple weeks ago, I didn't start repairing my XK yet. Did you pay for fuel tank removal $800 yet? Be nice, maybe I'll teach you how to remove fuel tanks. Did you graduate high school? Trying to understand if you have high enough IQ for that. No, probably not.

Lol, actually 6 degrees. As I told you before, trolls are usually undereducated people trying to pretend in cyber space that they are something they will never be in RL.
