In this video, I risk it all by working on the supercharger coupler and coolant pipes on my 2014 Jaguar F Type 3.0 V6 as a DIYer.
This was one of my biggest challenges yet!

Wery good job !!!
Well done Ryan!!
So the next time you are in there .. maybe to replace the four innermost corroded cam cover bolts .. you might consider a Symposer delete. It makes switching out the rear coolant crossover pipe easy to do if it started leaking. Of course, like the water pump and thermostat housing too, it may be just worth replacing the rear crossover anyway as they are all prone to failure eventually.
One last tip… it’s a good idea to duct tape off those inlet port runners instead of just a towel placed there. I was worried when you were drilling out that broken bolt that metal debris might get in.
Thank you for the video. I'll be doing the same job on my V6S soon.
Great video Ryan

fixing the bolt is a lot better than just ignoring it and leaving it
awesome video, it was great seeing the process of taking the engine bay apart. Them camshaft cover bolts look super coroded too
Well done brother! Subscribed!
I also pulled my hood when doing this job.
What did you do about the two rust cam cover bolts? (M6-1.0x30mm)
Good strategy on the broken long Torx bolt.
I also just posted the same job (in three parts) on my 2017 F-Type Manual.

great job 🙂 thanks a lot for the video !
I knew this engine was prone to rust but. its very scary :/
Well done Ryan – I did the same job a few weeks back – also replaced thermostat housing and those pesky bolts on the cam cover that look exactly like mine did. I sheered off both long bolts – no matter what I did they would not budge, they were both stuck in tight and like you had to drill them out – the one on the oil filter housing side is much more tricky. I replaced with new bolts from Jag – sorry I don't have the part number for you but if you are looking for them they are number 9 on the diagram of the charge cooler page on Jags system 🙂
Just started to watch this you’re a brave man but great job where do you get the parts gaskets water pipe and the solid supercharger coupling ? Mines ok at the moment but nice to know if I should need them thanks keep up the good work love the F Type
Impressive job. Well done. Top work.
I have been contemplating doing this, but just not brave enough. I would also have replaced the rusty cam cover bolts, as they look like they are just about knackered, but also realise that that could be a whole new world of pain. Well done!
Respect…..excellent work.
Many congratulations on the fix. Why do you think the spring coupler failed ? Is this a mileage , age issue , or were you just unlucky. Skilful bolt repair, if you try to replace with a OEM bolt, would you risk the weld breaking leaving you with another problem ?
Well done!! Great job! Very detailed… and very brave!!
Best video yet! ❤
