XK8 AND XKR PARTS - DRIVEBELT PARTS GOOD VALUE SERVICE KIT

The Legendary Jaguar V8 engine most of us love ! was designed to be a smooth, powerful and yet quiet engine and there is nothing worse than hearing a constant squealing noise from the engine bay. If on start up and with a cold engine your XK8 or R is making the annoying noise from the front of the car then there is a good chance that this is coming from either a worn drivebelt and / or one or more of the drivebelt components. Let's face it with many cars now recording + 100K miles, all these moving parts take a constant hammering and eventually will need replacement. If you are going to all the trouble of replacing just the drivebelt then why not service the other parts of the drivebelt system as well and complete this area of the car's service history plus of course lose the annoying noise !.

On both the Jaguar XK8 and XKR, the parts are:

* Drivebelt
* Drivebelt Tensioner
* Idler Pulley

The kit we can supply consists of a high quality replacement drivebelt with the remaining parts being genuine Jaguar. If required, we can upgrade the drivebelt to a Jaguar one for an additional cost.

Prices start from just £139.75 + shipping and VAT.

When ordering please provide the last 6 digits of your car's chassis number as there are differing kit components across the XK8 / XKR / X100 chassis range.

Please note:

1. if required, we can just provide the individual kit components such as a Drivebelt if that is just what you need.

2. if living outside of the EEC countries then no VAT will be payable.

XK8 / XKR Drivebelt Configuration

Noisy accessory drivebelts seem to have become a common Jaguar V8 trait in recent years. This can be due to the general ageing of the belt but also to the belt having been soaked in coolant. Also check the teeth on the inner side of the belt for general deterioration. In my case, I removed the cap of the header tank too early and the long life coolant sprayed all over the engine compartment and onto the drivebelt. Coolant can also soak the belt if you are changing the water pump and / or the thermostat. The only reliable fix is to replace the belt together with the tensioner and a revised idler pulley. This is recommended to ensure a quiet operation. The work is quite straightforward and can all be done as a job on its own or as part of a water pump / thermostat change or general cooling system overhaul.

When purchasing the accessory belt, we recommend either a good quality replacement belt or the genuine Jaguar XK8 part. If an aftermarket belt is used, it must be exactly the same length or the wear indicator built into the tensioner will not work properly.
