Timing chain & engine squeak
Guys,
I have finally buckled and have taken the car to Jag for the tensioner replacement. They are replacing both sets of tensioners and the chains for $820 - sound like a good deal??
As for the squeaking from the front of the engine both the serpentine belt and supercharger belts need replacing. He also mentioned that the supercharger pulley was the old kind and an updated version has been introduced - anyone heard of this? The whole job is going to cost about $1400 which I will swallow for piece of mind - plus the work will be guaranteed.
Any ideas about the pulley??

Hi Steve,
From what I have seen the ususal cost to replace both sets of tensioners is well over $1k...
$820 with a new chain looks pretty good to me. Where are you? Maybe I can use the same dealer... I have an 01 Xj8 with 55k miles. No problems, but it may be a good idea to get done...

820.00 sound dirt cheap for the tensioner job from what I have heard....be nice to get that price from my dealer 300 miles away...I expect to pay more when the time comes...my engine supposedly has 24,000 miles so I will wait for a couple of years...
I had eurotoys channel a supercharger rebuild...and porting for $1,100...rebuild alone was about $525.00 or so...
sound like you have an affrordable dealer nearby...good for you!!
