Can someone please tell me how to adjust the belt tension for the air conditioning compressor on my 1996 xjs with the 4.0 liter engine. I just can't see which bolts to loosen to get the compressor to move. thank you.

 

I am waiting for some dry weather to attempt a belt change as well. I'd love to know what to do before I get in there! I was planning on taking a few pics because there seem to be absolutely no photos anywhere on how to do this with the facelift XJS...

 

This might help

My guess is that #7 and #14 must be slackened to allow the compressor to pivot when using the adjuster rod, #3

But I've never done the job on a 4.0 XJS specifically so I'm not sure

Cheers
