Help, I need a source for a replacement supercharger belt for my 03 jaguar s-type R. Jaguar has changed the belt design and will not sell the old-style belt any longer. They want you to replace the belt with a double sided one, and buy a new bracket, a new tensioner, and a new idler. Around 400 bucks. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks, for the info. I called two jag dealers and they wouldn't tell me the old part number or how long it was so I'm at a loss as to how to insure I get the right size belt. Their too expensive to just buy and hope. I will do my best to find out how long these belts are (numbers you guys are giving me) then measure mine.

The 4.0 and 4.2 use different belts. With a 2003, you have a 4.2.
The XKR and the S-types both use the same supercharger belt. So a Gates K080525 or a Goodyear Gatorback 4080525 is what you need.

As far as I can see, the only downside is the belt wear indicator gauge on the vehicle is no longer accurate.

Sorry, my bad, I was responding to the comment that the belt was for a 4.0 and I was thinking 3.0 when I read this as I didn't know there was a 4.0 engine. So I said mine is a 4.2 v8 and the v8 must be different than a 6 cyl ie. 4.0. I was wrong and of course I don't know all the jaguar models so I will make mistakes. I thought I read the Gatorback was a two sided type, thought it might be the new version, which I can't use at this time. I will check the 4080525 out. Again thanks for the help.
