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.

Air Conditioner Refrigerant
FREON
The refrigerant Freon R12 is used in most BMW automobiles with an air
conditioner up through the 1992
model year. It has a boiling point of - 29.8ºC (sea level), at which the
refrigerant is transformed from a liquid
into a gaseous state. This boiling point, however, is not constant. It is
