BMW X5: V-Ribbed Belt With Tensioner / Deflect Element
REPLACING ALTERNATOR DRIVE BELT (N51)
Special tools required:
- 11 3 340
IMPORTANT: Aluminium-magnesium materials.
No steel screws/bolts may be used due to the threat of electrochemical corrosion.
A magnesium crankcase requires aluminium screws/bolts exclusively.
Aluminium screws/bolts must be replaced each time they are released.
The end faces of aluminium screws/bolts are painted blue for the purposes of reliable identification.
Jointing torque and angle of rotation must be observed without fail (risk of damage).
Necessary preliminary tasks:
- Remove Fan Cowl with electric fan
NOTE: Mark the direction of rotation of the drive belt if it is to be reused.
