Does anyone here have a supercharger? Since my local dealer doesn't seem to be familiar with them, I have basically no knowledge about it. Are they difficult to maintain? Any help or directions to information would be greatly appreciated!  |
S/C's are pretty self sufficient. Your dealer should have had the S/C checked when the first engine blew up. You'd be surprised about the amount of shrapnel that goes thru the engine when they blow. This usually contaminates the S/C and it should be sent out to be cleaned or repaired.
The only thing to do to them is check the belt and if you know how, check the oil level. I have only ever serviced 1.
How did the engine blow on the test drive? caused by the S/C? curious about this. What did they tell you?
Anything else you have a question about S/C?
