X1 3.5i belt and pulleys
Hey Guys! After hauling a full uhaul trailer from Nashville to Orlando, FL, my X1 started squeaking the belts (or tensioners). I bought belt dressing and only fixes it for a while, so I think that it's time for a good ole belt and tensioners change.
Before I go into that, has anyone been able to fix the squeaking without changing everything? If not, Does anyone know where can I get a belt tensioner kit for my n55?

So the chirp is back when hot... I'll double check to see if it's the belt or the tensioner but it sucks that I'm gonna have to do it again... good thing is that FCP Euro has warranty on their parts...

Just a quick note... I would bet, like mine, the oil filter housing gasket and oil cooler gasket are leaking onto the belt, so might want to look into doing them as well. I'm doing the belt, tensioner, idlers, and both gaskets at the same time in my video, so if you are up to the task I should be done it by the weekend. https://www.fcpeuro.com/products/bmw...ng-11428637820 https://www.fcpeuro.com/products/bmw...et-70-37157-00 https://www.fcpeuro.com/products/bmw...xi-x3-041-8195 https://www.fcpeuro.com/products/bmw...-11287628653kt These are all the parts I ordered. |

and oil from oil filter housing seal ruined belt, carwashed exxon valdez front of motor so ftp pulley and belt kit easy job, that was first repair oil filter housing o ring service, manifold has to come off for that 1 bolt under first runner.n55 then looked at grunged out intake runners in head vavles were all shrouded in carbon and chambers nasty,from oil vapor so i walnut blasted while apart and installed new intake manifold orings gasket seals also ftp 14 bucks Rein brand vanos sensor o rings were leaking also from heat too, new vanos came with o rings cam timing sensor had a leak also new oring dealer 85 cents and it came back to ac clutch bearing rough @75k , hub bearing noisy out of spec ever so slightly. making a squeak when hot. Hub bearing kit Also came with and replaced new clutch hub rubber bumpers and new hub bearing could have been removed and replaced , grind off 6 small stakes retaining bearing. bumpers had small dents in them but the kit was easier, reused old compressor hub and just put new rubbers on it from kit so far no more squeals front of engine dry finally no leaks Last edited by proteus290; 09-27-2020 at 03:23 PM.. |

2 months after installing the new belt it's squeaking again... it seems like I have a small oil leak so I think that's contributing to the squeak... thankfully I have warranty with FCP Euro so it'll be free but it's still annoying to change

After everything I've done, the squeak keeps coming... so I am going to replace the oil filter gaskets and the AC Clutch, but my research has shown nothing... looks like it's a one-part piece (pulley and compressor) Based on what I've seen, these are the only two things that are left to fix on my car... It is driving me crazy!!!
