Man when it rains it pours sometimes.

From what I gather the culprate most often the hose under the supercharger. Which means supercharger comes off. While I'm at it, may as well replace all the belts as it's about time anyway. Does the intake manifold need to come off as well? Kind of having a difficult time finding information on this one. Do i need some new gaskets where the supercharger meets the intake?

 

You can a have a look at my '4.2 supercharger and throttle body elbow removal advice' thread. Should be a good starting point and there is a parts list near the end.

 

Thanks, I'll check it out. I know i'm going to end up taking more apart than necessary for thoroughness's sake.

 

It's the same engine in a X350 so I found this to be a great thread for doing what you need to do.

Looks like a bigger job than popping off a few hoses, good to know. I'm currently tied up in getting ready for a new garage 4 car garage build so it'll have to wait until that's done. Shame, it's the perfect time of year too.
