    Default V Belt Replacement

    According to Bruno's site
    http://www.bmwe34.net/e34main/mainte...ce/v-belts.htm


    Symptoms of improper belt tension include:

    Belt squeal.
    Noisy alternator, power steering pump or A/C compressor bearings (from excessive belt tension).

    I have the above symptons on my 95 530i. Where can I obtain a new V belt from? What tools are required to do the install? I want to try and replace this today, or tomorrow morning, if possible.

    No tools required for removal/install?

    Serpentine belt? or V-Belt? Which does the 95 530i have? I stopped by pepboys, they stated they only had a serpentine belt.
