hi all,
Some time ago I put out engine cover from my 2010 XFR just to hear supercharger noise better but instead started to hear strange metal clicking noises from supercharger cooler (top part of the engine). And only when idle / standing still.

Did some one experienced something like this?
I tried to check the sound on 2012 XKR but dis not hear nothing.


I will upload video if needed.

Thanks for any tip

 

I am guessing the torsion isolator, does it sound like a can of marbles? It may be the water pump letting go as well.

The isolator failing is common on that supercharger and for once has nothing to do with Jaguar it also fails on the older CTS-Vs as well.

See this thread

Thank you for answer, looks like this.

 

Also the new DI motors make quite a racket when running and can be very loud at idle.


Maybe put the cover back on for a bit to see how it changes?
