That engine is not complicated. And it's a great engine. The problem is that people take advice from the dealership regarding changing the oil once a year or every 15k to 20k miles. That will destroy your timing chain. Change your oil every 3k to 5k with full synthetic.

I love this engine too. It's imperfect and a bit of a mess, but I actually love working on them. The stupid extended oil change intervals certainly dont help anything, but it's poor design that destroys the timing components, at least on the earlier years.

Was it difficult to get to the left bottom bolt off the throttle body to separate it from the supercharger?

Hi ken can you perform work on my Lange rover timing chain and supercharger pulley ?

What code number NAME of the supercharger serpentine belt or the two that are in the engine? Did you buy on EBAY?

Do you need to get gaskets for the side of the supercharger casting you need to remove to get at the snout/coupler bolts? Also, if you’re doing the chain guides do need to take the SC off? Btw, my last MY2011 had 700,000km on it before I sold it. No engine work but the water pump.

Where is the supercharger oil fill plug located?

Hi Ken. Great video. I'm also working on my 2011 RR supercharged, and I've gotten the top of the supercharger off, removed the 8 center 10mm bolts from inside the supercharger, but can't get the supercharger base to budge. I tried prying with a pry bar and nothing. I even removed a couple of T30 bolts from the very back (so hard) toward the top that was part of the EGR pluming bracket. And sill, the base doesn't want to move. Any suggestions? I think maybe it's just stuck, but I've tried prying and I don't want to break anything is there's still something that needs to be untightened. Help please!!!

Hi. Does the part you changed in the supercharge has a number?

Is that S/C part available separate?

Do you have to add oil to the supercharger when you completely remove it and reassemble it? Or will it fill from the oil in the motor?

@nachocheez9

It uses its own special lubricant, separate from the engine oil. They do not mix. It doesn't drain unless you drain it intentionally, but considering the amount of work to remove the supercharger vs the actual oil change on the supercharger, you might as well drain and fill any time you take the supercharger off. Saves you from removing it when it isn't absolutely necessary.

Any videos during the work?

Hi bud the vid is a couple years old but just bought a 2012 and seems to have same issues. Plus a real hack has fiddled with things so who knows what I will find. I am an intermediate mechanic. Do you think I can handle the timing chains in a weekend? Thanks, T

So it’s not a crazy hard job but if doing the chains you want to be sure to hold the cams in place well so they don’t spin if your not planning on removing the valve covers and using the factory tool to set timing. The crank bolt can be a tight one the tool to hold the crank Is special but I made one out of some stuff I had at the shop. I ended up only replacing the guides my chains were not stretched and car is still on the road with like 165k on it now

Hi Ken - How many bolts did you remove to be able to sit the S/C up like that? I too just want to get the snout off.

My supercharger is at the exact same point as yours in the video complete with a block of wood - how did you drain the old oil and refill - do I have to pull the whole thing out of the car to do that or can it be done propped up on the wood?

Is there a good guide for removing the ? I just had my timing chain tensioners and guides replaced but the engine is still noisy.

@nachocheez9

You might have noise coming from the supercharger isolator coupler. It's on the shaft from the pulley to the supercharger. Pull the pulley snout off and replace that junk factory metal/rubber spring with a solid polyurethane one from eBay for 20-25 bucks. It makes a lot of clunky sounds when it's worn. The solid one should last essentially forever. The metal spring eats into the rubber over time and allows it to clack around and make noise.

A half quart for how long? Normal oil usage is like 1qt per 1000 miles according to the manufacturer. Usually oil consumption problems are due to the crank case breather system not working properly I think it’s built into the valve covers on that engine.
