Accessory Drive - Overview (G1183374): Overview

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 6 other vehicles, including the 2015 Jaguar XF, 2014 Jaguar XF, 2013 Jaguar XF, 2012 Jaguar XF, and 2011 Jaguar XF. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The accessory drive is a belt system powered by a pulley attached to the front of the crankshaft. The crankshaft pulley, which incorporates a torsional vibration damper, drives two drive belts. An automatic belt tensioner in each belt run maintains the drive belt at the correct tension. Together with idler pulleys, the belt tensioners also guide the drive belts clear of obstructions and set the correct 'wrap-around' of the accessory component drive pulleys to ensure a slip-free drive.
