So my serpentine belt came off due to my alternator pulley coming off. The pulley seems fine, but I cannot find the nut to tighten it. Tried looked online and calling multiple auto shops. Most said a 16mm 1.5 fine thread nut would do the job. Either the nut is too small, or the shaft of the...

I'm changing my power steering pulley tonight and I'm just after some advise on how to remove it and how easy is the job? I have a brand new pulley and a new belt cause my old ones are ruined! Anything else I should look out for while I'm doing it?

2000 E39 528i 6cyl- My main belt broke today (pump/alt/crank), so I installed a new one. Not too hard. Started the car and after about 10s had to turn it off. I noticed the radiator fan/pulley assembly basically rocking /tipping front to back and clunking as it did. What I could really see is...

- Ever wondered where did that missing parts gone from a worn out belt??? :) (and eventually not just the missing ones goes there the whole material from the grooves) --- - Oh that's easy: It's just falls off and goes away like small dust. No? :dunno: - Yes mostly but not all. It seems that we...

hello everyone I have just recently purchased an 05 330i and noticed that i am getting a squeaking sound coming form the belts and pulleys. the belts have been recently replaced and after reading numerous threads and speaking with my mechanic i have come to the conclusion that it is the idler...

Hi everyone, I'm looking for some serious advise, help and direction here. Back in May I had the serpentine belt, tensioner and idler pulleys replaced on my 2008 e92 335i. When the upper idler pulley was being replaced it was over tighten and stripped the threads of the aluminum block. The hole...

About two years and 18,000 miles ago I replaced both belts on the engine as well as the Drive belt tensioner, idler pulley, and AC belt tensioner as the bearings were going bad and it just needed to be done. Fast-foward to about January of this year (6 months ago) and I started to notice some...

I bought it but never had the chance to install. Missing a small tube of loctite that came with it. Asking 300 obo. This can only be used on the 05/08 and earlier e9x m3

I would like to preface this by saying that I do not usually drive my car past the point of something seeming to be on its way out, yet sometimes due to circumstances out of my control that is something that needs to happen. In the case now, my pulleys started to squeal at about 1200 RPM and...

Hi all, It's my first post on the forum, so let me introduce myself. Name's Bart, living in UK, for a year now a proud owner of E63 630i :) Now, either it's me being a bit too cautious or my car has developed a weird sound in the engine bay. http://youtu.be/f8bwQlS-HAs What's you opinion...

I've got a really nasty bearing noise on my 2007 328i. I replaced both the idler and tensioner pulleys this morning and it didn't solve the issue (although they probably needed to be replaced soon anyway). The noise is dependent on RPM and is not there if I start the car with out the belt...

I just did a DIY water pump replacement on my 2003 X5 4.4i. While in there replaced the a/c belt, and the thermostat. Cleared the codes so that the therm gauge wouldn't read in the red automatically anymore, but now there is a clicking in the engine compartment that gets faster with...

I am trying to change idle pulley and the tensioner. I have hydraulic tensioner, 2000 323i. In the process, I got the fan/shroud out, got the AC belt detentioned and out, all fine till this point. I am stuck up trying to detention the serpentine belt tensioner. I might have rounded off the...

I live in GA and since we have had some abnormally cold weather for us I get a squeaky noise that begins during a cold start in the mornings. It's not really constant but will squeak every few seconds until the car heats up and I have driven it for a bit. Also, a few months back I was driving...

I recently had the radiator, thermostat and belt replaced on my recently purchased 325i. Only 41K at the time of repair and it was recommended that we replace the top belt since it was a little frayed. Made sense since at the time since all of the shrouds and radiator was pulled. Easy to...
