Default 2008 XKR supercharger run on???

My 2008 XKR has about 113k miles. When I turn off the motor, something continues spinning with a slightly grinding sound like a bearing is going bad. New alternator recently. No water pump leaks. I just changed the supercharger oil but sound predates that. Thinking it could be the SC spinning down and maybe bearings going out there????

Welcome to the forums DKM,

Grinding sound isn't good. Both alternator and water pump stop rotating with the engine so unless it's happening only for a very short time period, it can't be either of these. Possibly radiator fan bearing but if it's anything to do with the SC, you'll have to ask members with that engine.

Follow this link https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/xk-xkr-x150-33/ to the X150 forum for help, advice and information. The 'HOW TO' thread at the top is a good place to start for information on regular issues. You can also use the US Lower Atlantic Region forum by following this link https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/u...r-atlantic-66/ to find other members in your region.

Please add vehicle details to your Signature to help others to give relevant advice. Go to the User CP button on the left of the top menu bar, then Settings & Options under Your Control Panel. Select Edit Signature and enter the details.

Enjoy the forums.

Graham

Happy owner of 2008 XKR convertible for 6 yrs now in North Carolina, USA. Really wanted a Series 3 XKE DHC, but wife insisted on practicality/reliability of newer XKR. Still an excellent second choice. Love supercharger motoring!
