BMW E46 Drive Belt Tensioner Replacement Alternator Belt Tensioner Idler Pulley Retrofit 

Using this for reference to install new belts, tensioners, and pulleys on my 04 330 ZHP this weekend. Thank you!

Hey great video I really like the descriptive terminology you use It is comprehensive with clear understanding compared to other videos..Much thanks from Palm Springs Ca!

Thanks for this video helped tremendously for my m52 e36 hydraulic tensioner swap!

Excellent work and very detailed,now I can do this on my 05 e46 325ci no problem. Thanks for the vid!!

Couldn’t done it without!

Great video thank you very much Showing the difference between the hydraulic and mechanical version helps

great video, well explained and easy to follow. many thanks

you're a great teacher.

Excellant video - thanks for taking the time to produce it.

This is helpful. I have been struggling with this for days now. Original tensioner bracket and top long bolt broke off while driving. I drilled it out of the oil filter housing and got a new tensioner assembly and bolt. Then second bolt (lower right) broke when I over tightened it... Finally I drilled that out again, got a new bolt and when putting my belt on the allen key bolt on which holds on the tensioner pulley breaks off. It did not even detension, it broke after snug and I applied pressure. Now I am in a big mess. Maybe new tensioner needed cause this bolt broke deeper inside and I don't think my extractor can drill it out. Is the tensioner that tough to move to detension? Once I do fix the tensioner I am gonna have to put the belt on and I am scared i'll break it again. Maybe I need a longer bar for leverage.... Gotta be a better way...

thank you very much mate. its very helpful.

AWESOME VIDEO!!! Gonna do this on the weekend. You wouldn't happen to have a DIY for the removal of the ABS module on an E46 on the right side would you? Trying to remove so I could send for re-manufacturing ..THANKS!!

I'm having a huge problem getting my tensioner to move over so that I can slip the belt on. I've even bought a new tensioner assembly and I'm having the same issue. Your pulley moved very easily. I have a new t 50 bolt and socket. Starting to strip the bolt. Any suggestions would be appreciated..

Really helpful video! Thank you so very much!

Is very good this informetion and good explain thanks is perfect this video.

Great video Very informative

good afternoon ,in Dec last year i changed my Drive Belt on 2005 BMW 320i and this week, it has been sherreded,any ideas as to what could be causing the belt to break in this manner????

Great video. Very helpful. I replaced my tensioner pulley bolt with a he's head bolt. Do you think that will be an issue when removing and replacing belts, etc?

Great DIY video.

Thanks, that helped a lot. great video..
