Auxilary belt - BMW 3-Series (E90 E92) Forum

mistryn · 01-29-2013, 07:42 AM

Is this easy to change DIY? or do you need specialist tools?
Ive been quoted £35 to change the aux belt and air con belt by my garage but if it is something relativly easy to do I would prefer to do myself

Is this a labour only or all in price?

The aux belt doesn't look too bad, the aircon belt looks like it needs a special tool.

thats just the labour i will be supplying genuine belts

I'd personally have a crack at it

Slipping the new belt on as it doesn't have a tensioner looks a little heath robinson to me!!
