HI all, I have a 2000 X5, 4.4L, with about 130K Mi on it. Started getting a squeaking/whining noise in engine area, sounding like belts. Sprayed Belt dressing on the belts and it got quiet for about 30 minutes of driving, then started back. I have good mechanic that said its likely time to replace the belts, tensioners, and idler pulley. But he said to go online and order everything and he'll come over and do the repairs. I need advise on who to order from, and exactly what belts, and pulleys, etc i need? I'm thinking that as long as im doing one belt, i might as well replace all needed belts and pulleys at the same time, correct? and is there any other items i should consider now while doing these things?
Thanks for your reply! |

Order them all and just do them all in one shot.
I vaguely remember hearing mine squeek once or twice, until the idler pulley bearings seized and self destructed. Luckily it was in my garage before i left, if this happens on the road your basically SOL. you can see what happened here http://www.xoutpost.com/bmw-sav-foru...yesterday.html

also add to the "inspection" task while your under the vehicle:
* Water Pump Pulley + Water Pump * Power Steering Pulley + PS hose or reservoir leak(s)/Sipage * Alternator Pulley * Coolant hoses + expansion tank + temp switch * Fan + Fan Clutch * Valley Pan * Oil Filter Gasket Note: At a minimum, RR idler pulley and all belts. Good Luck!

I get mine from FCPEuro.com, but they couldn't be much farther from you (or me) if you planned it that way.
