Thanks a lot man!

[@timdowling9196]

Great videos - Thanks

[@andysweden78]

8:14 in the video showing the old pully confirs that the cast bolt head does not exist on the old one thats why the bolt in the wheel is used for tensioning. So on the new one use the cast bolt when release the tension thats what its for. Since ints not made to stand the force on the torx head. Just a recomendation to your really great video.

[@BeamerFanaticsE39E90]

I WILL THANK YOU

[@dobbel0895]

[@CoralEuphoria]

Thanks!!

[@karl-qi1nf]

You so crazy man. Love you bro!

[@reneporras5754]

I have a e36 a pulley squeaks when car is warm and I accelerate with car in gear not in idle... Can't figure out witch one squeaks... Would appreciate your input.. thanks!

[@andysweden78]

The star shaped screw is torx head in wheel it just hold the wheel not for tension. Use the cast bolt head on the tensioner i think its 13 m.m. They changed the design the old one you tensioned on bolt head in wheel but when they put a torx there they also created the casted bolt on the tensioner, gives you more power.

[@playerbase0509]

Do you have video on how to replace my accessory hydraulic belt tensioner for my 1997 528i bmw?

[@BeamerFanaticsE39E90]

@seekinglife2020 yes

[@seekinglife2020]

do you have any videos about the steering wheel loud noise? and how to fix it thanks

[@andykumar73]

Hey man. Any guidance on a transmission rebuild?

[@samuelgonzalez4653]

I like u videos amigo

[@LurkMe]

If the tensioner does not want to pull down easily is it basically just needs to be replaced?

[@BeamerFanaticsE39E90]

YES

[@scottyrock6184]

You are doing a great video keep it up. thanks. I have a 2001 e38 and my belt came off, the belt is good. What could cause it ? could it be the tensioner? never done it before will attempt to do it.

[@hussaindadani6050]

Curious question if the belt were to break while driving and water comes out what could be a outcome I have 540i BMW 2002

[@israeltogaarana]

Hey man, do you think to replace the belt tendioner n a 740i would be the same 🤔🤔

[@johnyray3455]

14:26 i felt that so hard bruh 💔😖👌🏼

[@GrzegorzDurda]

Is it necessary to remove the fan clutch?

[@KMBAinc]

I can't seem to get the belt back on, even when the tensioner is at its loosest. I know the belt is correct because it fell off when the power steering pump prong broke off, so I replaced that, so the belt must go back on, I would think that one would loosen the tensioner and slide the belt back on just like you did and then tighten the tensioner back, but I can't seem to get the belt on. I tried a couple of cheap installers, but they were too small and didn't fit, the magnets don't stick, I just can't figure it out. Mine is an E38 2000. Any ideas?

[@Gr8mate13]

I was worried about whether it was hydraulic or mechanical, you can see if they mechanical and when you give you VIN number they can tell you if they are mechanical or hydraulic. Once you remove your air box, the fan cowling and fan you can access the lot , i did my this weekend. Easy job

[@autumnsapphiremarcum2151]

is this a mechanical tensioner or hydraulic?

[@andysweden78]

Hi you say that you should go easy on the torx nut went tensioning the pully with T50 Why is this used in this case? The torx on the wheel is just to hold the wheel and not tension in this case there is an cast bolt head on the tensioner itself and you can see it 11:50 and11:27 in the video right under the belt, this is design to put the ratchet with socket on, much stronger and you wont strip the torx head.

[@Ghostblaze1]

What year is the car you are working on, and the build date.

[@molivas240]

mine is making that sound on the a/c side.

[@kyleaguirre10]

This just happened to me a couple days ago. Any one know how much to get the parts?

[@andysweden78]

this pully you put on has a different design, because i belive that the cast bolt does not exist on that one then you tension on the bolt in the wheel like you did.

[@smooveking773]

my m52 belt Belt Tensioner was only on with one bolt the bottom was broke off what to do? was that the block or part of oil housing bracket?

[@andysweden78]

If the tensioner is good and you just want to replace the wheel do you know where it buy its most often sold as one peece but if tension is good and wheel is bad is there a possibilty to just replace the wheel? Eavven do its not recomended on a car with alot of miles if the wheel is bad its alot of winning just replacing the wheel and tensioner as one piece.

[@gnamakoudji]

Do you have to remove the radiator first, before getting to the belt? Do you have a video covering the process?

[@BeamerFanaticsE39E90]

No

[@robertotorresk7440]

+gnamakoudji there's videos available on you tube

[@ledi1824]

Hello. Do u have a shop? Are u in the Bay Area? Thanks

[@1995RangeRover]

Nice...how do you re-tension the belt after you loosen the nuts on that tensioner? My belt has too much slack :(

[@johngoodwin8173]

1995RangeRover

[@debeerpaul]

Hola muchachos!!! Strip it for parts man. hehe

[@DanielYouTube72]

what does the tensioner bolt on to? mine broke off .. the tensioner and pulley are completely intact .. but a piece what ever the tensioner bolts onto is still attached to the tensioner

[@thatsjustjake]

That would be the oil filter housing. This just happened to me ... working on replacing my oil filter housing now

[@corybourne12]

I have a 528 and since I bought the car when the car got over 3 thousand rpms it had a really bad rattling sound but ass soon as it dropped under 3 grand it stops I thought it was a carrier bearing but my belt locked up and popped off could the tessioner be the problem?

[@anthonydouyon2551]

I had same problem. Thought engine was done due to the knocking sound but when the pulley wheel flew off and rolled down the road i knew it was just the tensioner pulley.

[@basomelkonyanc5435]

10:16 m50 sound 6.500 rpm =)))

[@Gr8mate13]

My car is a 2002 Msport 530i

[@alsdjfknbo]

Mine is screeching loudly when started cold. And then it goes away after driving half mile. E39 2001

[@BeamerFanaticsE39E90]

[@Petlover10000]

Is this Hydraulic or Mechanical Tensioner?

[@BeamerFanaticsE39E90]

Spring tension

[@clutchy26]

I noticed it was loud and then I looked again tonight and the actual plastic roller wheel is gone... It's just the metal and the belt looks a little burned.... wow. It must have just cracked and flown off.

[@BmwMe-uh9sy]
