Hi everyone, I'm just going through the process of replacing the "Y" pipe. While stripping off the supercharger, I found what I describe as black pads on either side of the supercharger. What do these do and if really necessary, where can I get replacements from?
Are you referring to the coil covers for your V6S? If so they are shown here (item number 1)...

The part numbers are:
AJ813956 (Left hand B-bank from VIN K05406 to K46539).
AJ813955 (Right hand A-bank from VIN K22185 to K46539).
JLR main dealer price is £112.14 inc VAT each.
If not, further research is required. In this case are the black pads you refer to there to stop vibration or take up any play etc I wonder? A clear photo of them would be beneficial.
RPSN I think he means the foam pads covered in black plastic that are stuck to either side of the supercharger that I think are for vibration hope this helps cheers Tony.
I think they are for sound insulation? If so, the part numbers may be shown here...
