It seems the Jag can not only monitor alt output, it also see's alt output in relation to rpm. My now 250 amp (Up form 150 amp) alt is giving my alt output monitor fits, tech says it should learn it out once I stop clearing the code and/or disconnecting the battery..lol Its charging well as verified by the Torque app.

The 4 locator pins, i just cut off 4 M8x40 1.25 bolts, keep them around 2in long. You'll use them to line up both the bottom and top S/C gaskets.

New crossover and water hose to the throttle body installed and all cleaned, time to fly the S/C back in. Note the 4 locator pins to hold things in place. Don't forget the connectors on the back of the S/C, I also installed a new MAP sensor while it was easily accessible with the S/C off.

Before you put the S/C back on the car be sure and do the following, the fill port is on the back and it takes 5.1 oz of oil. Be sure the bypass valve (The gold circle in the picture) is fully closing, if not it's bleeding boost so use the adjustment stop to fix that. Check the couple for play, when turning the pulley the rotors should turn with NO play. If you got play the couple is bad, and you'll need to change it, or you'll be doing this job again soon.

Getting the old oil out. ZZP online was the place to get new oil, I actually got a kit with 8oz of oil and a new couple.

Wings off the S/C. My S/C had been serviced before for the couple. and you can see it comes off as a unit.

Once the top portion is off the S/C there will be 8 more bolts to remove, once those are out you'll need to disconnect 3 connectors on the back of the S/C, I got this done by scooting the S/C and forward while tipping the nose up. IT'S a pain.

What needs to come off to get at the leaker. The cross bar, windshield wipers, cowl, etc. and the symposer needs to be disconnected from the firewall, but left bolted to the supercharger.

mine looked like this, I replace the complete seal but it was too narrow, and the correct thickness seal was missing a section. I wasted a gallon of antifreeze chasing this..lol

And back to that cross over pipe, it has this seal insert inside of it. If the dual seal leaks it will run down into the V, and look like the plastic tube is leaking. so just go ahead and replace it.

When ever possible I replaced the torx bolts with flange bolts. Flange bolts are way more forgiving if you get on them wrong, and easier to get on in tight spots, like the whole XF engine bay..lol

Now the way I did the magic of getting the tube inserted and pump mounted with no leaks is, I lined up the pump, and hold it in place just before the seal seated, I then screwed in it's bolts just enough to let me shove the water pump straight back in place, seating the tubes seal. I than tightened the bolts snug until I could torque them in a cross pattern.

The pressure tester with adapters can be rented from O'rileys for $225.00, pricey but you'll get it all back.

New tube in. Some general tips, the pipe has two seals that are the same, one seal goes on the nipple from the oil cooler into the tube, and the other seal goes from the tubes nipple into the water pump, you want to lube the nipple the seals go onto, and the hole the nipple and seals go into, but NOT the seal itself. And DO NOT use a silicone based lubricant.

The oil cooler that is fed by the water pumps plastic tube (lower center). that pipe sticking up is what the cross over pipe joins when the SC is installed.

BE SURE AND PUT THE NEW PLASTIC TUBE IN THE SAME WAY THE OLD ONE CAME OUT!

In addition but not absolutely necessary I would remove the cross over pipe that bolts to the SC snout and throttle body beneath it, as this will give you more sight behind the pump and on the infamous PLASTIC TUBE!

The AJ133 water pump is not a hard beast to change, but you do need to remove EVERYTHING that will obstruct you from pulling it straight on or off like idler pulleys and hoses a least out of the way.

About to fly the supercharger into place, made some locator pins out of some old bolts, a big help in jockeying in the supercharger.

When possible I ditch the torques head bolt for 6 point flange head bolts, they are much more forgiving if you get on them wrong, and give you the option of using a wrench or even pliers..lol

The plastic tube coming off the water pump from inside the V, this is why positioning it correctly is so important.
