Does anyone have past experience doing an R&R of the lower crank pulley and tensioner on a 2014 XF. I have had trouble in the past removing the under trays so how-to's on that process would also be greatly appreciated. Planning on upgrading the pulley, but the only way I can do that and the tune is to save on the labor cost. It's either DIY or wait another two months because the leggy blonde has uncovered my plans and will raise hell if I dip into the dress budget...plus..i havent cursed and scrapped my knuckles in a long time..the soft life is making me fat .... and soft.

 

Your 3.0 V6 supercharged is based on the 5.0 V8, and I strongly suspect that R&R of the crank pulley and tensioner (and I presume pulley belt) is the exact same procedure.
Also, I think one or two F-Type V6 owners have done this as well, I know it's one of the things on my to do list.
So you will probably have more success asking this question on the F-Type forum.
As for removing the undertray, if it's anything like the one on my XFR then it's simply a case of jacking the car up and removing a stack of bolts and screws.

 

Yeah...its not that easy..the under tray has a part that sticks up into the wheel well and also holds the paddle receivers for the TPMS module. I only looks easy and unless you have the car high enough off of the ground, it becomes a reall PITA.

I will check outhe F tYpe forums and see what I can find. Thanks

 

ok..so it looks like the best way to do the crank pulley will be to get it on a lift. The chances of breaking a bolt are greatly reduced if you have the leverage to crack them loose. versus hard constant pressure. It is looking like the tune will arrive next week. Will take a while to find a shop that will R&R the lower pulley at a good price.
