Frequently asked questions

What is the Alternator Drive Belt for the V12 used for?
The alternator drive belt transmits drive from the crankshaft pulley to the alternator on the 5.3L Jaguar V12. Running in the front-of-engine accessory drive, it turns the alternator pulley to generate the vehicle's electrical charge. Fitted to the Jaguar XJ Series III and XJS.
When should the alternator belt be replaced?
Replace the alternator belt on the 5.3L V12 when it's cracked, glazed or slipping, as a slipping belt causes low charging and a flat battery. A squeal on start-up or under electrical load often points to this belt. Check tension when fitting the new one.
Which V12 models use this alternator belt?
This alternator belt fits the 5.3L V12 in the Jaguar XJ Series III saloon (1979-1992) and the Jaguar XJS from VIN 139052 onward. Confirm your VIN, as the XJS alternator belt specification changes through the build, so an early car may take a different belt.
