Can you imagine with the front end on it! He has full accessibly. Thanks for the vid
Good, honest (pointing out your mistake), and straight-forward video. Thanks for sharing.
These are very good videos. I am leaning a lot of information on doing repairs - my being DIY - do it yourself, kind of person, before buying a 2001 740i.
Glad to hear. Let us know if you need a specific video
Thank you from the bottom of my heart!
You are much welcome.
Nice video .... easy to understand removal and replacement of the V-belt
Glad you found our video informative. Be careful not to get your finger stuck between pulley and belt, Not cool...
Very useful video.Thanks
Excellent! Thank you so much.
thank you so so so much for the vid , my fan belt snapped and i managed to get the car home 320i , the heat gauge was on the red though with a little steam coming out of the engine , so i was hoping i could ask you if there are any checks i should do now before i put the new belts on and thanks so much ma bro !!
do a compression test to make sure you didn't crack your cylinder head due to overheating
Thanks very easy and simple instructions

thanks
there are two belts: Serpentine belt is main belt that connects cranck shaft to alternator, power steering and water pump. Then you have the lower left belt that connects the ac compressor to the crank shaft.
what is the size of the serpentine belt? The belt i ordered is too long
So my heat only works in defrost, do you know what the problem could be? I have a 03 X5
thanks for making this video bro
Thanks my brother! That was a big help
Thank you for watching our video. Thank you for the feedback. Feel free to share our channel to anyone that could benefit from it.
What if theres no bolt to un-tense the ac belt ? 2003 bmw 325i
Thank you for the prompt reply, I didn't expect you reply that fast. It has been 50k since the Drive Belt was replaced by the dealer before I purchased the car which is 03 530i. I don't know if it is time to replace or wait until I hear the noise, also shall I need to replace the Pulleys, Bearings & Tensioners the same time.
Thank you bro! Great video, much appreciated!!!
Our pleasure. Thanks for watching
Great visual opportunity and demonstration. PLEASE get a tripod. It can be aimed and stay in place where you aim it. Much of what you were demonstrating was out of frame and the drain pan was being filmed. I made the same mistake when I was starting out. Everyone told me the same thing. They were right. Also the top idler pulley is the easiest and best one to pull from and end on when the front end isn't removed. Good post and information. Way to go!
send the guy some money for a tripod if you are not happy with his help...beggers cant be chosers he videos for free
E39 530i serpentine belts are not all set up this way. The upper tensioner is released with allen bit or wrench on the pulley itself. Turning clockwise loosens the tension.
i beleive mechanical tensioners come on most e46 3-series models. The tension comes from a spring that is rolled up into the tension er. Hydraulic tensioners are common on 540 and 740 models from 98-03. It looks like a small shock. Since you have a 330, you will need a mechanical tensioner
Thanks! Perfect!
Quick question if the first belt that you took off was from the AC belt what happen if you drive the car with out mines is missing I just notice this what type of problem or is it only effective for the AC?
Good helpful video 👍🏼
Glad we could help.

my buddy has a 94 BMW M3 with similar 3.0 inline 6 and we replaced these belts and after it was unalingned or too loose/tight so its squeaks tertibly. would these tensioner systems be alterable at all to stop this?
Helpful thank you
I liked your video you even acknowledged your mistake I did the same thing the first time I did it too haha
+Adrian Garcia Things never go the way you plan when the camera is rolling and that was a painful mistake. Hopefully others learn from it. Thanks again
Very good, thank you so much.

Thanks for spilling blood 😃

Miguel Paula Thanks
If I replace the Serpentine Belt and A/C Belt, do I normally replace all the tensioners and pulley?
Great Question. Ideally you would need to replace tensioners and pulleys. That way you don't need to do the job twice by putting serpentine belt and then a couple months later, replace pulleys and tensioners. Personally, I would just replace the belt and once I hear pulleys squealing, replace pulleys then since its not that hard of a job and i wouldn't mind doing a task that will take me less than 15 min twice. Your call.
No only if it need to
@@maxleradical5390 My car has been sold and have a 2014 530I XDrive for 3 years.
Good video and good work, it was very interesting. Thank you /////////////////////////
Thanks for visiting
Good video , thanks and I'm sorry by you accident
Wish it was longer
To replace that belt you well take out all part like redgator bampaer ectra ?
you don't have to remove bumper. you can access bolts from top or bottom.
And can I do this with the engine inside?
Cool Thanks !!!
thank you. be sure to subscribe for future diy videos
Is there a bot you can use to hold it for you ?
i forgot the orientation of hydraulic tension bealt
Hey quick question could I change the A/C belt from the bottom of the car?
yes you can
Thanks!

@@bimmermerchant 🆗!
I have 2003 530i BMW. and. omg. my check engine like came on when my transmission safety fail came on is that very bad or what can I do. helpppp
+dora orellana Scan your bmw for codes. Most likely you will need a transmission.
Здравствуйте, подскажите какой размер ремня ставить 1538 или 1555
I have 03 530i, how many Tensioners and Pulleys do I need to replace if I replace the Serpentine and A/C belt?
You still own it?
@@GrzegorzDurda Not anymore, it has been sold and I bought a 2014 530I XDrive.
@@Petlover10000 Ahhh nice dude :) Congratulations.
@@GrzegorzDurda I bought it 3 years ago, it is M Sport, the only thing I don't like is those Run Flat Tires which is not repairable which is really sucks. Got a nail on one tire and had to replace two tires the same time, I decided to get all regular Michelin tires. At least they can be repaired.
@@Petlover10000 Best decision on the tires. The run flats were always very mediocre and heavy.
👍🏻
why not just an 8mm hex to take the 2nd belt off? just pop off the cover off the tensionioner less bullshit less risk hopefully helped someone not take a finger off lol
I screenshot yours, lol but can this be done without removing the whole front end 🥴
I won’t took a ratchet wrench to do so, a L shape extension bar more reliable.
thanks for sharing
so you have to remove the whole front end to remove the belt. Damn BMW!! lol
lol no but like any other car its a great idea to so you have room and a view of everyhing. its worth the extra 20 minutes of wrenching for sure.
Ningishzidda Shar no just the fan shroud and fan to access the belts.
Room and view of everything? What for? And no it is not 20 extra minutes. Especially for those who are less skilled it is about a day of work what is supposed to take one hour at most. If something goes bad or you don't have the proper skill then 2 hours.

Nope not for all 3/5 series
Not for a 525i
