Product Information

Your BMW's drive belt system is important for numerous reasons. The primary purpose of drive belts is to "drive" the accessories which makes your vehicle run and function properly. The drive belt also known as an accessory belt, drives all of the accessories including the A/C compressor, power steering pump, and alternator.

The drive belts are not the only component of the drive belt system that's critical. The tensioner dampers and pulleys all play a roll in keeping the drive belts properly tensioned and guided under all engine loads. Belts can stretch with higher engine loads and the tensioners and pulleys must maintain proper tension on the belts or they can fall off resulting in serious problems. These components also have a service life and should be replaced as needed.

This comprehensive kit from FCP Euro is designed to service the entire drive belt system in one service. It includes Contitech drive belts and all OEM components to ensure a long service life.

Accessory Drive Belt Kit

An accessory drive belt, also referred to as a serpentine belt, functions by transferring power from the engine crankshaft to various accessories like the alternator, water pump, power steering pump, and air conditioning compressor. Essentially driving these rotating assembles through a series of pulleys with the belt's rotation. It is important to check the belt for cracks, fraying, or excessive wear during routine maintenance, keeping in mind most manufacturers recommend replacing the accessory drive belt at specified mileage intervals, typically between 50,000 and 100,000 miles. Proper tensioning of the belt is also crucial, so while servicing or inspecting an accessory drive belt, it is important to also inspect the belt tensioner and supporting idler pulleys.

Accessory Drive Belt Kit Failure Symptoms
  • Wear and tear: Over time, the belt can become cracked, frayed, or glazed, causing it to slip on the pulleys.
  • Misalignment: If pulleys are not properly aligned, the belt can rub against them unevenly, causing wear and noise.
  • Tension issues: Incorrect belt tension can lead to slipping or excessive strain on the belt and its components.
  • Contamination: Engine oil, coolant, or debris can degrade the belt material
  • Excessive Noise: Squealing noise, especially when starting the engine

Worked well for about 10 months...
Worked great for about 10 months until I began hearing a feint noise. 2 months later the noise is much more pronounced and upon inspection by my mechanic, he confirmed its due to the pulley/belt.

Fitment Issue: 2011 BMW X3
Just wanted to leave a quick review since no one has pointed this out. A while ago I ordered this kit from FCP Euro because it showed as fitting my 2011 X3. While it's true that this kit comes with the tensioner and belt needed to fit my N52 X3, this also comes with an extra idler pulley that doesn't exist and isn't needed. This isn't a big deal but you could save yourself $20 by simply buying the tensioner and belt separately. Cheers!
