Nice tutorial! Mines at 140k and just had the same problem. This helped a lot … especially the tip to hold the alternator to torque the bolts. Thanks for sharing.
I did it on my back and jammed my boot behind the pulley to hold it still. Also replaced it with a solid one from a Range rover so it don't happen again. You need shorter belts to do the range rover conversion but I paid 45 for all the bits instead of 200 just for the pulley with the rubber core.
That is some top grade info buddy i had no idea it could even be done thanks! So this wouldnt affect it in any way in the long run? Hopefully it’ll help someone else.
thanks for this im having a slight issue with my n57 330d it dosent seem to happen when its cold on initial startup but after a little drive i have like a thumping noise at idle and as you increse rpm slowly you can here it but if yo uslowly lower the rpm it kinda goes away its not a rattle its more like aslowly droping your fist on teh table more like a bass tone than a high pitch tone if you get me i listen round teh engine and it dont really sound like the pulley butto be fair when i listen to your previous video with the turbo actuator i can here the thumping on yours but now it seems gone in this video
Hi thanks for the comment. I think it might be something else though cos the car ran fine for a good while after i done the turbo vid. If you can give a bit more info i could try figure more out for you
The one on my 530d granturismo just broke once arrived on my vacation place this august. It was over 200000 km. I had it done by a mechanics for 1k€ ...
You could see if its shaking at all or normally the tell tales signs are some wear on the rubber. To be honest if you’re close to 100k its worth changing

@@houseofcars6998 done it 2 weeks ago on mine and working fine exactly the same engine in the range rover just different pulley set up
Also my engines m57n so might be a different pully needed for the n57 not sure as I've not worked on one
@@raymondchandler2489 thanks buddy i’m sure this will help someone going forward!
Hi what is exact part number, as I need to do this job on my 2010 bmw f10?
Are there any other parts that need to be replaced with RR pulley?

its not a rattle its more like aslowly droping your fist on teh table more like a bass tone than a high pitch tone if you get me

Oh wow! Thats not ideal but atleast u could get it done quick thats still lucky. Imagine u got stuck there 😳
@@houseofcars6998 You're damn right. I think that time has come for changing a lot of items on this n57...
@@zemiorka at 200km definitely yes. Taje a look at the work i did on mine if you need any advice i’ll help where i can
Great video! Think mine is going on my 430d... How do you check? Are there any noises it nakes? My engine has a bit of a noise atm
It's done 140k so might want doing anyway

@@toliver.99 ahh yeah mate just do it. What kinda noise you getting though?
@@houseofcars6998 like a cyclical light grinding
Speeds up with the engine speed. Didn't know if it was water pump bearing or something else :/
Hey cheers for the tutorial. What was the mileage when this occurred? Thanks
Hi bud no probs. It was about 115K. Thanks
Oof I'm on 119k currently.
Can't help but feel this motor is a ticking timebomb! Lol.
Cheers.
@@owenporter1472 haha just treat it nice she’ll keep you happy…
How did you tighten it without the lock?
By doing the same. Holding the alternator in place
What is the cap part #?
