Description
Restore Engine Belt Tension & Reliability – BMW Tensioner & Idler Pulley Set
Ensure your BMW’s serpentine belt system runs smoothly and safely with this replacement drive belt tensioner and idler pulley set. Designed for older inline-6 models, this kit replaces worn or noisy components that can lead to belt slippage, misalignment, or engine accessory failure.
Over time, pulleys and tensioners can wear out due to heat, vibration, and age—resulting in squealing belts, poor cooling performance, or even complete belt failure. This high-quality replacement set restores proper tension and alignment, keeping your alternator, power steering, and water pump operating reliably.
