Guys,

Bought the kit to flush the X150 09/XKR supercharge kit and can't get easy access to the fill/drain plug,
Can the super charge hoses be easily removed to get access? Large coolant hose in the way as well.
I did replace the fuel pressure sensor so don't have to worry about that breaking.
Car has 61,000 miles.

A world of pain awaits Mike Lol

 

Is your car the 4 .2l or the 5l ?

 

09 should be a 4.2

 

Easy then

 

Easy compared to what you had to do on the 5.0. I am wondering if the supercharge coolant hose removal is expected in order to get clean access.
I could not even get enough angle on the allen wrench to get align with the screw socket. Not to mention having space to ensure the plug doesn't get away from me once removed. Also two electrical connectors that would be best if out of the way..

 

There is a thread on how to on the 4.2 on this site i am sure . I also made a thread on how to on the 5l . have a look around

 

You can check out my "4/2 S/C throttle body elbow removal advise" thread. One of the earlier pictures shows what it looks like with the S/C outlet pipe removed. You probably don't have t remove it, just have to move those hoses out of the way. As for the big elbow hose, not sure if you can get around it, but removing it would require a bit of work.

 

stuff a rag down the valley in front of the blower to catch the bung if dropped .

 

Did you do it
