I have a very clean 2000 XJ limited for sale, but 172k miles. Located in TN. Any interest in getting more info?

so in summary, getting the old pulley off was a PTIA. puller i had sucked, took an hour and some creative tool application. eventually the already shredded bearing released a few more of its balls (with the help of the green mallet) and and the inner and outer race separated. then the pulley...

ok i have pictures. here they are.

i had a bad noise from mine as well, turned out to be the compressor clutch. got it repaired last night and its like a new motor. check out this thread i hopped on when i was having problem. http://www.naxja.org/forum/showthread.php?t=972187

yea, that would be a good idea. i got my clutch assembly from the dealer because that was the only place i could find it by itself. got it for like 160-180 or something, and from what i saw, entire compressor assembly was in the 260 range. but if you get the one from the link above at under 220...

yes that is correct, and exactly what i am trying to avoid. if you replace the compressor you have to open the refrigerant loop and the system will need to be recharged, which does involve drawing the newly closed loop down with a vacuum (and ive head replacing the accumulator as well, not sure...

i have a 2000 XJ and have bought injectors from 5-0 as well. been happy with them, no problems since i got the old bad ones out of there.

pages 14-19 of that link up there are good for clutch info.

ill take some pictures and post tomorrow or the next day. symptoms were ac not working since july loud squealing noises bad whirring noises noises seemed to be from the ac clutch and went away when hosed down with WD40 but that caused it to start smoking and burning when i drove it as the WD...

i am going though this right now. but am replacing the entire clutch, bearing, magnet assembly (not the compressor, dont want to have to deal with recharging the system). my bearing/clutch was so far gone that it only took 2 fingers to remove the front clutch plate, and thats after spending...

i think there was at some point but i don't remember if it was specifically injector problems due to heat. I do remember having some heat shield replaced due to possibility of debris getting stuck in it and causing an engine fire. when i replaced part of my injector wiring, the tape around...

i would still check out the injectors. I have now replaced 3 injectors on my 2000 XJ with 135k miles. I also have to cut back a chunk of the injector wires and splice in new lengths of cable and new electrical connectors on the end. since doing this i have had no misfire problems. fuel, spark...
