BMW Repair: Changing alternator belts, 2003 bmw 330i, bmw 330i


Question
Hello Don --  I would like to know where I can get instructions on how to change my 2 alternator belts on my 2003 BMW 330i sedan?

Answer
For probably the best source would be a Bently manual.There is so much info in the manual you'll use it for sure. It may seem alittle pricey but well worth the investment.You can get one from Bavaria Autosports 1-800-535-2002
But actually doing it isn't that hard just tight.Use a long handle wrench on the a/c tensioner  release lug turning it clockwise(against spring tension) remove the belt.The altenator belt comes off the same way,its just on the other side.Installing is revesre of what you just did just be super careful not to damage anything when putting it back on
