Anyone who has had the pleasure of fixing coolant leaks and removing the supercharger I am trying to identify a hose that is located on the top of my 5.0 supercharger that is at the back. It is a hose that goes directly into the firewall. Before removing it I want to identify the part.

I have watched dozens of videos of removing the supercharger, however, I have not seen any that deals specifically with the v8 5.0 Jaguar. The V8 5.0 Land Rover videos I have seen do not have the same layout. It also seems on the V8 5.0 there is absolutely no room. I did remove the wipers and wiper cowling but that joint is still tight. My Jag is a 2012 XJ with 80k.

The purpose of the job is to fix a small leak either at the water pump or the the Y pipe in the valley. I will also be upgrading any plastic pieces to aluminum as well as replace a few hoses that were brittle.

Thanks in advance

 

As a follow up to my op, would anybody know the part for the small hoses coming off the actuator value? Hoses are brittle and will need to be replaced. However, I cannot find a part number.

Thanks in advance.

 

Yes your dealing with what Jaguar calls the symposer. Many of us have removed that assembly completely. Many threads if your search for symposer. No liquid inside it. It pipes noise into the cabin.
Again search this forum as we have many videos and threads on SC removal and all the tricks and problems that go with that.

You can but that is just a simple vacuum hose that you can find anywhere. I am sure the OEM version will be many times the cost.

Thanks much for the pictures as that is a BIG help!

Best thing to do is get the plugged off plate for the back of the intake, from the later cars, and just remove the whole setup. Cap the vacuum line feeding that solenoid and you're done. It literally just opens to allow intake resonance into a funnel on the dash so you can hear it better in the car.

The one on the front is your supercharger bypass valve, you need that. Just replace the line with any vacuum hose, it doesn't have to be something special.

 

Thank you for the reply. I had assume the back hose was related to the symposer but was not fully certain. And thanks for the heads up about the hoses for the supercharger bypass valve. Right now, I am currently extracting a t27 from the top of the supercharger. The torx head was badly stripped and after trying to make a custom cut with the dremel to use a flat head, half of the head snapped in half. Once this is done I can move along and get the supercharged removed.

 

Front middle bolt? Those are the long ones that go all the way down into the head, if there's corrosion anywhere they can get crazy tight. That's probably going to need an OEM replacement, won't be a size you can readily find. I don't think those were T27s though, maybe that was some of the issue.

 

I made a mistake, not a t27, but t30. And yes, it is the long bolt! I also discovered that the other long bolt is also stuck bad. The t30 head is also worn on that one as well. What a real pita!
