BMW X5 (G05) 2019-2025 Service & Repair Manual / Engine / Engine Mechanical (6-Cylinder) / V-Ribbed Belt With Tensioner / Deflect Element

REPLACING ALTERNATOR DRIVE BELT (N51)

Special tools required:

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:

NOTE: Mark the direction of rotation of the drive belt if it is to be reused.

Layout of drive belt.
