Took me 45 minutes or thereabouts, including retrieving my socket wrench, but I agree it can easily be done in 5-10 if you're sure of the method and belt run. Also on another forum someone mentioned the water pump is electric on the 2014 sportbrake is this correct ? I'm convinced the (3-litre V6 diesel) engine sounds a little bit smoother now (always felt good, still does), but that must be placebo effect, surely?

Please make sure you have your ticket printed or available on your phone, ready to be scanned on arrival. Jaguar then said that they usually replace the water pump at the same time at the cambelt, but this was never mentioned to me. I continued to complain and fortunately on the last occasion a technical adviser from Rover was on the premises.

Most car manufacturers recommend changing your cambelt based on either time or mileage, depending on which comes first. Every Jaguar comes with a 12-month subscription to Secure Tracker or Secure Tracker Pro, with the option to extend this to a 3-year subscription. This is because both parts are situated in the same area of the car and often wear out at the same time. Investigations at the time revealed nothing and after the noise disappeared I thought no more of it. must find out), rotate the pipe approx a quarter turn toward the front and disconnect from the air filter housing.

When you have a loop on each side, follow the diagram - by feel because you will not be able see and do at the same time in some instances - thread the belt over the pulleys on the left side of the engine and then the right side but do not try to install it over the tensioner pulley yet. One thing every driver dreads hearing is that their cambelt (also known as a timing belt) has torn or snapped. I would assume that like timing chains the frequency of changing, quality and using the correct spec engine oil will probably have a fair impact on their wear? and became brittle over time and sooner or later they'd crack, break, cause oil leaks, and caused a ton of noise on the chain.Once you have checked the belt run to ensure that it is following the correct path over all the other pulleys ease the belt off the topmost pulley on the left had side, this gives you sufficient free movement of the belt to get it behind the body of the tensioner and over the tensioner pulley, with this done insert the socket drive, get hold of the belt on the left hand side and apply pressure to the tensioner to give you the slack needed to get the belt back over the topmost pulley on the left. I must say Joe was very professional and kept me informed all the way, He collected and delivered my car.
